I didn't think the World Class T-5 was significantly stronger than a plain ol T-5, especially for that kind of coin. Have you thot about a TKO 500 or 600?

If you want a cheapy, the 94-04 v6 mustangs used the wc t5 trans. But if you are eating up trannys due to power I'd deff go with 1low03gt, move to a tremec tko or even a t56

I want to go T-56 But the Price Tag is just to high I figured for now Id just go with a HD T-5 and try to be gentle until I could afford to do the t-56 upgrade.

It'll get you buy,and can last a long time.Most of the time,the T-5 dies due to driver abuse,or worn out synchros cause of age.

another option to concider if you already have a T-5 in your hands, is do a rebuild. the T5 apparently (i have yet to do one personally)isn't too bad to do. then you can decide what goes in it to beef it up.i remember seeing an add in MM&FF, i'll look for it and post info up for ya if that is of interest.

If you have already burnt up that many I don't know if the WC will really hold up for you.
