Rebuild a T5 to make it stronger... can it be done?
I have a NWC T5 and it needs to be rebuilt anyway do to losing the first through third gears, and I was just wondering what could be done to make it stronger. I do not want to buy a T56. Thank you much!

Not much. See the G-Force upgrades, but they cost almost as much as a T56.

G-force is about the only choice out there really.
