Well I swapped out the trans that wont go into reverse with a 87 W/C t-5 this is the sounds I am getting from it click the video!

Holy crap.. did it make the sound with the previous one too? has to be something moving. so I would check the clutch/flywheel area.

LOL my words where WTF!!

I am not sure if it made that noise with the other trans as the motor was un- corked.
I am going to pull it apart tonight and see whats up. I hope I left a bolt loose in the clutch but I think it is in the trans itself

My old WC T5 did that, but when that started I ripped it out and did a whole driveline swap so I never did figure out what the problem was. Basically I'm no help.

Angelis83LT

Yea. mine has a fwapping noise to it.. sorta like if you had cardboard fins on a fan and let it hit things.. But I KNOW mine is the clutch/flywheel. His just sounds scary...

Took the trans out reinstalled the old one with no reverse noise is gone took trans apart found ut shaft needle bearings are shot along with the main drive shaft
What is a good 5 speed trans I am sick of these problems I havnt even drove this car yet and its been through 2 t-5's

buy a decently rebuilt T-5 and you won't have any problems

JAYDUBB

G-Force T5 at the minimum. The TKO600 is probably the best 5 speed that you can stick in the car.

Or you can stick a T56 in it...

jayman350

thats what i would suggest doing

David_H

Can you use same clutch, bellhousing and drive shaft with a t-56??

Angelis83LT

the clutch will be different.. the flywheel may be too... If it is going into a thirdgen there is one heck of an expense (just getting the transmission is just the beginning.. there are quite a few other parts.) Be easier in a 4th, since you could get OEM parts for it. Something to note though is I have heard the T56 is a good trans, but like any other manual it would need to be built if you start throwing down decent numbers to the rears. I have known a few that have killed those too. Stock t-5's are not exactly great. I would either have one rebuilt with better parts, or buy one already built to handle things.
If you get the one rebuilt that you have now. make sure it is a WC trans... if not throw away and find a WC trans to have rebuilt.
