I highly doubt that .. it seems like it would be almost impossible with mine if you wern't tryin.

Some t5's are pretty stout, others break with stock power.

ive had a total of 3 t-5's. The first 2 blew in months and the other is still in the car as we speek with no probs visible or felt except for a rear seal leak. I beat the living hell out of each 1, So i think its a pick of the litter. Also A buddy of mine blew his like that doing exactly waht scott said!

that'd have to be pretty sloppy shifting from 3rd to 2nd accidentally. thats actually kinda hard to do in my car now that i think about it.
