Many improvements over a S-10 T5, no need to start in 2nd. Only problem is you need to install a S-10 tail housing to move the gear shift forward. Nice to cruise at 60mph at 1800 rpm and thats with 4:11 gears.

"Not all T5s are created equal". That was a huge part of my point. The very early V8 Mustang T5s had the identical gearset as the 2.95 close-ratio V8 Camaro set. The gears will swap all day long. If folks will RESEARCH these things before jumping, one can end-up with the best of transmission choices.
