What tranny?

Recommended Posts

I need a tranny that will fit a 5.0L 302 I'm putting in an 83 280zx. I've seen where several of you mentioned the Borg Warner T5...then I talked to a a buddy of mine who was a mechanic, and he basically said that they sucked.

What tranny should I get...I have an automatic off of a 302 5.0, but...I GOTTA have manual. smile.gif

Anyone know which I should go with?

I'll just see if I can find someone who will swap me the auto for the standard.

Hehehe, just have to make light of the comment you attribute to your mechanic - I hear the same thing too - T5s suck.

 

I like mine, it's not behind a V8, but it seems to be a good transmission.

 

Lots of folks say they suck, but that's what is used in 90% of the applications out there. Easy to say it sucks, but why does everyone run it?
