Where to rebuild a T5?

[m_owing]

I have an 88GT manual.
It goes in gear solid, no slop, but takes a lot of effort. Grinds between 1st and 2nd when it’s cold. And grinds or doesn’t go at all into Reverse. I’m thinking it’s the synchros. Clutch and clutch cable are new.

I’m not sure if it needs a complete rebuild (or even what that includes) or just new synchros.

Where is recommended to do this and what kind of cost am I looking at?

Call John Goodman at TDS and you'll be more than fine.

Believe it or not Mr Transmission from my experience does great work for decent price. I use the one on highway 7 and pine valley in Woodbridge.

I think John has been doing T5’s since J&P day’s when he was in Scarborough, I think Technique was the shop .

thanks for all the responses.

Widowr - was it a T5? You mind telling me what it cost?

No it was a Tremec 3550 and it was upgraded with a lot of new parts to strengthen it.

Spoke to tds, very nice conversation. However, to do 2nd and 3rd synchros and bearings is apparently around $900. The parts have jumped in price a lot they said. Not sure I want to invest that much into only those parts in an old transmission. Back to the drawing board.
