Question Who knows or does?

Hello again ... need some info/help/recommendation on T-5.

Need one to three T-5's in the near future. Prefer having fresh units for our Fox body cars. Shopping for better than original spec builds.

Who builds these babies in our TR family? Who sells them locally other than Tony at Astro?

GK

I usually have a few but I'm out now. "better than spec" gears and such will get real expensive in a hurry.

I do buy most of my parts from astro though...

ask $hawn to rebuild it. He rebuilt mine and it was great.

Astro Tony is fine ... just looking for local source this time for convenience.

$hawn, chime in or call me this weekend. Our son's local posse has an immediate need for one behind a stock daily driver.

Thanks Pat

Anyone else?

$hawn rebuilt my T5 and now it yells anti-sematic phrases through the floorboards. It is for this reason that I think Uncle Pat helped him rebuild it.

We build them also but unfortunally we don't have any put together right now. I have a unit at the shop that the guy totally destroyed the countershaft. I wouold say I can have that one back to working order by middle of next week if I ordered the parts tomorrow. We also order are tranny parts from Tony.

The thicker the gears the skinnier the wallet,but worth it on a hi-po t5 IMO
