Re: Tremec question

lol you can get T-5's for like 100 out of junkyards and swapping is a cinch I dont see what the fuss is. Just run it till it blows and toss another junker in there :D. Good luck with the tremec.

Or just rebuild one with just the G-force gears.

I'm in the same place as him (recently blew 2nd gear on my 2nd tranny) and I have pulled and installed transmissions from my car 3 times now. Believe me...you end up saving money and time if you just get a nice tranny that you won't break.

What model tranny? The 98+ F-body's all ready have a Tremec. I have been to the factory in Mexico on business. Same trans as the older BW, which was sold to Tremec.

This is what you want:

But the shifter location is 1.7" forward on the trans.
