I dont personally like this tranny much. it shifts like a friggen dump truck. but I'm now left with two options. which is better?
I'm about to do a 2.3T swap from a turbocoupe which has a t5 according to this website that tranny is rated for ~240 lb/ft. but I know they shift smoother and are more popular.
My truck now is a n/a 2.3 with the m5od. clutch = very unhappy. makes a growling noise when depressed. sometimes. lol.
I have a second 2.3t thats being rebuilt and my goal is a 350-400hp beast. Which tranny in the long run will be the better option? and what can be done to smooth the shifts and strengthen the m5od? I'd like it to feel like a sportier tranny. anybody whos shifted a t5 compared to the m5 knows what I mean.
So basically once my motor is done it will be stronger than either of these tranny's are rated for but since I will have both. which is the better option, to rebuild, and strengthen, especially when it comes to longevity
