well i see theres another thread here along side of the one in the all motor stuff. the trans is iffy. I have had some cars in the 320 whp on motor range in stock T5's power shifting the **** out of them and they didnt break. then theres been trans ive seen just going down the road that have broken. you can get a fresh trans in the atlanta area for around 350 ish . dont ever pay more than that for a trans unless its a world class or theres alot of work done to it.

take everything you read on internet forums with a grain of salt.
