T5 Borg Warner tranny rebuild

I am going to try and hold out till tax return then get the tremec, Wifey already approved it

Dare you go mang. Now, new or used lmao

LOL USED!!! I'm not getting my permission revoked lol

I believe I am going with a brand new fully built unit at this point from all the research I have done.

If I can find one under 1800 new I would do it but all the new ones I see are like $2100 and dont think she will go for that. Plus i need bell housing and that crossmember work done.

I understand what you mean sir. We will see how things are at that time, maybe I can help out some how.

If you guys want to go new I will see what I can do for pricing. When its time for a clutch I got some of the best prices on clutches.

I am looking at new AODE performance built automatics so let me know
what you can do. It will be a week or so before I am ready to
purchase.

Sounds good will do that for sure, my car has a king cobra lutch what are your thoughts on it? Know its s tiff (haha) clutch but is it good to keep? I am used to it now so it doesn't bother me.

is it the King Cobra or the King Cobra HD? I think I had the HD in my old LX. That thing lived a good while behind my stout 306ci iron headed motor. It ran 12.009 on motor and 11.2@124mph on 100 shot. I dumped that thing 5000-5500 on motor and 3500-4000 rpm on ET Streets many times and it handled it. It eventually started giving out towards the end. Its a good cheap clutch but for a 100$ or a little more you can get a Spec Stage III that will probably handle whatever you got planned for it.

Not sure on the HD, it was in the car already when I bought it. All I know is it was ridiculous to drive with until I got used to it.

I don't like the King Cobras for that reason. Too damn hard... (that's not what she said) .

LOL Yeah my chicken legs could barely push the pedal the first day, now its normal and not an issue at all.

yeah they got a stiff pressure plate. Most foxbody clutches are pretty stiff. You can get a Spec with a lightweight pedal mod that helps for stiff pedals. I just got one ordered to go into Shawns Cobra.

I may not go with a rebuild on my AODE auto transmission. Let me know what a performance unit can be had for if you can. I have shopped Summit, Jegs and CJpony parts and some other sites already. The cost difference isn't that much, so if my money works out like I hope, may be the route I go.
