Default T-5 Swap done

big ass difference... Feels like a whole different car


atleast a .5 improvement.


only fault though is the shifter vibrates like crazy when you get on it...



either way its a whole new animal and its a reccomended swap for anybody with a stockish AOD


I know a AOD can be made faster.. but this is just way funner

maybe the trans mount is bad causing the vibration? or the shifter isn't bolted down completely...

I just swapped out tranny's as well; only mine were both t-5's. I have a bad vibration around 65 mph and up, and I think it is the frive shaft causing this so I am going with an aluminum d/s to see if it solves the prob. long story short is this vibration all the time or only at certain speeds?

You will get a .5 to a full second reduction in your 1/4 mile time. Stock AOD cars are low 15 second cars at best. Every stock 5 speed 5.0 car I've run at the track has gone low 14's, with a few bolt on's, easy 13's.
