Go with the T5, no experience with the Mitchell but the T5 shifts smooth as butter, put a V8 in front of it and a Ford 9 inch rear out back and you got a winning combo that will give no trouble and keep up with traffic at low rpm's and give good gas mileage to. Hard to beat.

I've played the model A engine and model B engine with a 39 transmission game and in the end I wish I had went with the combo I wound up with. Would have saved lots of time, headaches and money along the way.
