T5's aren't really a problem unless you get "grinding" when you shift properly with the clutch, when you hear "rattling" noises inside the tranny, when you can't shift into one or more gears to save your life, and... when it 'pops' out of gear on you when you're driving around.

Most people seem to think T5's develop a "death howl" around the time they are exiting this world too.

not that I would know or anything. I've seriously never blown up a T5 but I did have one that grinded a bit and maybe "howled" a little at me. (repeated powershifts and mis-shifts).

anyways, sounds like a good tranny you got there. This isn't your girlfriend's civic you're driving you know [Big Grin]
