A friend of mine has a sweet GT350 clone and the T5 has lost 3rd and won't go into reverse. So, how much to do one including the parts? World class and Z-spec o he can choose.

Thanks

Well, bruce sounds like he knows what he's talkin about, but he has actually rebuilt 2 of my T5's and I had problems with both of them!!...He has rebuilt my friends T5 and my friend has had no problems...I guess its my luck.. [Frown]

After paying $750+ for Bruce to rebuild my T5's I decided to do it myself...

If you have any questions on rebuilding your T5 let me know...Its basically a big puzzle...I paid close to $500 for all the parts and some tools needed for the job...I bought the super alloy gears the rebuild kit and a Tremec repair manual, which came to about $480...

Good luck!
