I've broken at least a dozen T5's in my 406 third gen camaro and it's usually always 3rd gear that fails. I love dumping the clutch in 3rd gear and doing 1/8 mile burnouts, T5's do not.

Seeing you take that transmission apart reminded me of a time when my father had an old 3 speed transmission apart. A friend came over and thought he was going to pull a fat one on my father by putting a gear he had in his car in with my father's parts. He probably gave a little away by asking my father where the gear he had stuck in went. After only a minute or two my father said it doesn't go with this transmission. My father was pretty adept. I remember him bringing old milk dispenser machines back in the 60's and working on them and getting them working properly. Thanks for sharing.

My father was rebuilding a 5 speed from a Subaru that I bought off my friends parents...he came over and asked "How can you put that back together, without a manual?" He answered "Easy, it resembles a VW transmission (he was a Porsche tech for 25 years) and honestly it easy...each gear is different size, hard to mix up reverse from 5th, 1st, etc!" We were amazed. $400 car ran forever afterward 🙂

Watching Tommy rebuild that T5 made me cringe. So many things wrong. Smashing the tail stock off like that with a mallet distorts the front shifter bolt holes (seen it 100 times). He did not replace the 1st/2nd shift hub which I could seen by the wear on it is going to cause it to sooner than later pop out of 2nd gear. ($30 part) He did not replace the worn out bearing retainer with a new steel one ($30 part that is what makes that clutch chirping sound at idle till you touch the the clutch pedal and causes you throw out bearing to hang up on release) and my favorite rubbing the sealer over the top cover holes which forces the sealer down into the holes and causes cracks in the case. So put in a $1000 2.95z gear set without replacing two $30 parts that are going to cause you problems down the road.

3rd is by far the most common broken. Being in the center of the main shaft gear cluster it has the least amount of support from the bearings. As the load increases the main and cluster shafts push apart from each other and when the already small amount of tooth contact diminishes, ka-boom. Especially if the cluster shaft isn't held in place with the proper preload. With a billet steel cluster shaft retainer and proper preload you have a slightly better chance for longer life.

Only 2 or 3 new cars/trucks out of almost 100 per day could pass, even then... Most all would fail the test and fights were breaking out at the inspection stations. People took it as an offense when they were told they couldn't drive their new truck/car to work and to not drive it until it was fixed. Conundrum for sure with a sticker that was to not be removed by anyone other than the station who inspected it. Less than two months in and the state pulled it all out. No one could pass because cars and trucks not sold on California were built to different standards and the all of equipment was calibrated for *"CALIFORNIA'S EMISSIONS TEST!"* The "friend" state has been saving lives ever since!

Why would anyone want to rebuild a box of shit? Back in ‘99 when I had my ‘84 Z/28, the first thing I did was yank the “H.O.” 305 and that pathetic box of junk T5 and sold them to the scrap man. I dropped in a mildly built 350 with a Tremec 5 speed. Never had a problem no matter how hard I launched it. The Tremec did require some custom mounts and I had to engineer an offset to locate the shifter in the proper position, but it worked out perfectly.
