Ford performance T5 Z

[Ramcharger90]

So what are the limitations and perfomance benefits from a T5 Z? I dont know what happened to my T5 it was working great considering the lack of 3rd gear all the time. I think they where not die grinded good enough so it just grinds then goes in. It was a cobbled together turd. But still every other gear was so smooth until I went to shift into fourth at 3k then it slammed into reverse..... then got stuck in fourth after I went back into neutral then back to fourth. It was nice and tight it always returned to the center 3rd and 4th.... So I got it back to first shift to second bang into reverse..... wtf!!! Then it ran fine for 15 miles then down shift to first from second bang!!!! Into reverse It had about 150 miles on it before all that noise.... that T5 was nuttier than a bag of squirrel shit.
