My car has the T5 conversion .
I originally wanted to put in a Mitchell OD and syncro trans with the different ratio.
The cost to install the Mitchell equipment was exactly double what I spent on the T5 conversion and the wait was 8 or 9 months .
The T5 was a bolt in except for some welding on the arms keep the rear end located.
The T5 conversion is a bit more complicated to install than the Mitchell and if I had a pristine original car I would have done a Mitchell but I don't so the T5 was the best decision for me and the results far exceeded my expectations .
Your milage may vary.
No machining required for the kit that I installed .
