I'd certainly be interested in any recommendations. My fear is if I leave it as is, it will eventually go at some point and there is nothing worse than having all that power and being afraid to use it, seems pointless. I have some uprated driveshafts to fit and the John Eales clutch I fitted for nitrous use [standard couldn't cope] is doing a great job so far.
I want to weigh up costs etc, and obviously the easiest would be to have the T5 worked on as Derek and Nigel have had [can you give me some details Nige?] Then there is the appeal of having a sixth gear, but which box and what adaptations have to be accounted for.

A reworked T5 is not going to defy physics, the gears and shafts are still very small compared to a TKO600, and there is no way around this, each component/tooth is still under lots more load, due to surface area even if it is made of unobtainium.
A Tremec 6 speed will compromise your exhaust size/clearance, personally if i were you its a TKO600 with a 3.08 diff..
Why dont you have a drive of mine and get a feel for the box/ratios?
will be at unit all day tomorrow [Friday] if you're coming to work in it.A Tremec 6 speed will compromise your exhaust size/clearance, personally if i were you its a TKO600 with a 3.08 diff..
