I would put a T5 behind my LT1 if I could figure out how to do it!

Word gets out that a couple people blew em up be it operator error or just a bad apple (EVERY product had some failure) and the whole bunch gets a bad name. If you are going to beat the shiat out of it get a better trans but for spirited driving with someone who knows how to shift the t5 works fine. Other than a bad 4th gear syncro mine works well in my vette and I have driven it hard in 1-3; have to sync it to get into 4th until I rebuild it.

I used to have an old Dodge 4-speed that I had to shift like that in every gear. It felt like a granny tranny.
