It took purchasing 3 T5's before I found a good one. first one had the shifter too far back. Second one had the forward shifter but was out of a 4 cyl and was shot. Third one looked so good I purchased a rebuild kit on line for $95. When the local transmission shop opened it up he said it looks like new! Didn't need the rebuild kit. One problem that came up; electronic speedometer. I will have to purchase an adapter for about $300. to get a mechanical speedo to work. I did lots of research and I also found the T5 to be the best option. Good luck with your project.
