strotter Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 Well, after much sweating and cursing in the rain and the cold and the cat poop, I finally got a *third* WC-T5 installed in my '72, one I picked it up in Hayward in November. Yes, more than the 60-day return policy kind of November. Drove it down to the alignment shop Saturday (after rack & pinion rebuild), smooth and nice in 1st & 2nd, crunch crunch crunch in 3rd, 4th and 5th. Synchros are shot. Did I say this was the third transmission? Hmm? Did I? Lets take a walk down memory lane, shall we? - the first had no synchros at all, bummer. Second one *exploded* on me while easing down the freeway, much excitement. Now this one. I'm 3 for 3. I seem to be working on some kind of curse here. I'm thinking I should opt for a 700-R4, but then I think "Sports cars have manuals"; but then I also think, "Sports cars roll over the ground under their own power". Hmm Hmm Hmm.

JKDGabe Posted January 4, 2004 Share Posted January 4, 2004 It's clearly a sign that you should use a t-56! At least you've got a motor... I don't even have that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strotter Posted January 4, 2004 Author Share Posted January 4, 2004 Well, just on a whim I went over to Ebay, just to see what's there, some guy had a T-56 with bellhousing for $850 "buy it now". So I bought it now. I actually hear the credit card groan. Seriously, a little "Ohhhhh" as I pressed the button. Well, at least I don't have to worry about more tunnel clearance...
