Ripping it apart wasn't that difficult, but getting everything back together was a little more challenging. I used factory shop manuals(not Chiltons) and an exploded view that I got from I guy I know at Ford Parts Dept. D&D performance has rebuild kits at affordable prices. How much damage done should determine if it is worth rebuilding, or if you should bite the bullit and pick up a new unit or somehting stronger(World Class, Tremec 3550,TKO,T-56, etc.) Did it break from too much power or too much abuse? You can also pick up a used T-5 at a junkyard and take your chances for ~$500 or so. Rebuilds are possible but are a pain. The Ford tranny specialist was not able to answer questions I had, he said they just replace 'em if they break. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Black94 5.0</b> <br /><small>Member # 655</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,12,11,7,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <a href="http://www.stangcrazy.com/tech/techarticles/t5rebuild.htm" target="_blank">http://www.stangcrazy.com/tech/techarticles/t5rebuild.htm</a><br /><br />Read this, it might help...<br /><br />I'm attempting to rebuild my T5 also....My transmmsion broke 3rd gear...I have it out of the car but I have had no chance (BUSY) to open the case up and see what I need...<br /><br />I'll be rebuilding my T5(or buying a new one <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> ) in the next few weeks...<br /> <br /> <small>[ February 12, 2003, 11:08 AM: Message edited by: Black94 5.0 ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>90LX</b> <br /><small>Member # 1487</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2003,1,12,11,53,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Mine has'nt broken anything yet but it has the death howl.
