How to blow up a T-5 trany September 16, 2008, 02:07:00 AM I knew it was only a matter of time before this happened. I was going about 35 MPH about to get the tires loose as I hit second. EXPLOSION! The bearing retainer on the front of the case was ripped from its threads which destroyed the input shaft, counter shaft and the case. So I bought me a TKO-600 today :D hope it can take some twin turbo abuse Quote Selected
