A few years back I remember selling a transmission to a CAFords member who bought and rebuilds transmissions...he had a whole setup in his garage to do the rebuilds. I can't recall the members name or info though. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I believe he was in his 30's or 40's.

I work for Ford as an auto trans tech. I have a couple of friends at work that build manuals. Did I pick up a T5 from you?

No sir. I've never sold a T5. I work at Sacramento Mustang, and can get a Ford Racing T5 94 piece Rebuild kit for cost, so I was hoping to have mine rebuilt and keep my fingers crossed the gears are good. I also live in Orangevale. Any idea how much your friend would charge? Would it come with any kind of warranty or anything?

Are you talking about Bruce out of San Jose?

Yup, that sounds like him. I remember going to the San Jose area to drop off my T45 at his house.

Excellent rebuilder.

He moved on to open up a shop in the local San Jose area, only to move to Idaho. He still buys cores, rebuilds etc.

I contacted him recently for an input shaft.

If you work at Sac Mustang, you work with my co-worker George's son. I would have to ask how much my friends would charge, but there wouldn't be a warranty unless the failure was due to him building it incorrectly (not likely). It's kinda hard to warranty a T5 when doing a side job - there is too high of a chance of someone abusing a manual trans.
