T-5 Rebuild Or Replace?
Hello everyone,
I need some feedback. The engine is out of the cobra right now. I'm going through it,giving a bit of a tweek. Its getting a forged 408w stroker kit,roller cam and rockers,aluminum heads, ect. It should be over 500 HP. and 525 FT LBS. My t-5 is a little rough going into 1st gear. I'll be replacing the clutch and installing a steel bellhousing,leaning toward the 10 inch centerforce dual friction clutch. So a local guy can go through the trans and beef it up. He has done a lot of trannys for racing cars. His bid/estimate is $600.00, includes a new pro 5 shifter. So am I wasting time and money with rebuilding the t-5? I like the smooth eazy shifting in the t-5, or am I better off upgrading to the tremec line of transmissions? Suggestions???
Thanks guys.
PS. 15 inch tires and a BMW "3" series rear differential set up.
