T5 is a piece of junk, itll break. Wait until you can afford a ZF6 or a Richmond 6 speed.

The T-5 is the reason the Doug Nash 4+3 was invented. There were no 5-speeds out at the time reasonably priced for production that could handle Corvette's torque.

The T5 is on ly good in the Rustangs and the Camaros. It will break with some abuse. Even the Tremec is not that good! I have one in the Rustang and don't really like it.
:cheers:
