Re: T5 FAQ - Everything we know about the T5

The 13-52-066-923 number just refers to the part # for the transmission case, that's all. Have no idea what R5 refers to, but yeah, going off the 1352-197 number, you've definitely got a WC T5 trans....

Re: 700R4 Driving Characteristics

Yeah, the TransGo Jr. shift kit is probably a good idea. Make sure to either buy the B&M 3/4 shift valve, or modify your own per the sticky in this forum. Shift valve should eliminate the going back...

Re: WHERE IS MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR 1989 tpi

Yeah, the last year the OP sensor was up near the distributor was either '87 or '88. My '89 has is right above the oil filter. BTW, go to your local parts store and buy the special "GM Oil Pressure...

Re: Wrong cylinder heads?

Re: Mystery Rattle Narrowed Down to axle???

Re: 3.23 gears

I agree as well. What JMD said is pretty much "spot-on". 3.23's will work great, without really much of any negative effects on freeway travel. Then of course, if you want even a little more "oomph",...

Re: 700R4 Driving Characteristics

Yeah, the problem of them "searching" between 3rd and 4th gear when cruising is really common with the 700r4. There's a couple of cures for this. You can buy the B&M 3/4 downshift throttle valve, or...

Re: 350 TBI/Stock 2.73 rearend & 700R4; going to higher gear ratio&posi help traction

Yeah, 2.73 is a crap ratio. That can be argued by some, but I'd say it's more fact than opinion. My 89 RS originally had the 305 TBI/700r4 with a 2.73, peg-leg rear. I put a 3.42 posi rear in it, and...
