Stock T5's are not very strong. And with 100,000 plus the sucker was lucky to still be shifting - period. And without a scattershield someone is lucky they didn't lose a body part or two. I think the things are only rated for 280 - 300 lbs or torque new. Plus the thing had probably been overshifted with the stock shifter a couple hundred times. Put a Tremec in it and a good solid bellhousing. You need your feet to drive a stick

Side note. He said he already had 4th gear engaged when this happened, make it all the more
the rear end is fine, we checked the gears and all. he thinks his hand is fine but his gf thinks its broke. insurance is fixing the windshield. btw we still need a driveshaft so if you got one you want to sell give me a call 352 684 5240
