Just need a little advice...I was on the way to work this morning and shifted to 3rd and pop there goes the transmission. I had to make it a few more miles with only 4th gear. Not fun starting off in 4th!
So i eventually get it to the shop and guy tells me the best option is to rebuild the trans. that I have instead of buying a rebuilt or used trans. $600.00 parts and around 350.00 for labor.Wanted ya'lls input before I decide what route i'm gonna take or if anybody has a T 5 layin around!

950 bucks?? you could buy a rebuild kit for 250 then get someone to do the labor and save some coin. or just order a trans from astroperformance or D&D.

If you have a t5 and just have 4th gear, that means the cluster shaft is broken. If you shift into any other gears are they there or do they just grind?? If you get a cluster you can probally put it in your self, I can't think of any special tools to replace a cluster shaft.

It does go into gear but grinds and whines loud as hell. I just had it towed back to my house and am now looking for a rebuilt or used t5 that a friend is gonna help me install.

You can get a tranny from Astro thats rated up to over 450hp or so, and it only takes a few hours to do the swap. Those folks are trying to rook you for money IMO... |

X2 give Tony a call at Astro Performance. www.astroperformance.com/index.phpI have many friends running his transmissions. $950.00 for a stock rebuild is way to much $$$. |

i doubt the cluster is broken unless you did damage to it driving with broken parts in there.950.00 for a rebuild is high.the most i have ever charged is 675.00 and that was replacing everything including the cluster and out put shaft with all new parts.I'm also a dealer for astro if i can help ya.
