t-5 worth rebuilding?

How much would it cost to get a t-5 rebuilt, or should I just buy another camaro 86 Z28 305 5 speed with about 160,xxx on it. Interior is really nice and exterior just got some new parts put on just needs sanded down and primered and painted for about $700 - $800. Even though its multi colored still a very nice car. About 120% better shape then mine is right now.

You might simply consider replacement. If so, go with the 88+ V8 T-5, which is the world class version.

A WC t5 is the way to go... I finally purchased one after destroying my non world class a few times...

Re: t-5 worth rebuilding?

I am only rebuilding my WC T-5 for a later use on my vega race car and replacing the T-5 with a T-56. If your keeping it stock then why not, its a good transmission and I have been driving on a bad 2nd servo for a year and I beat the hell out of it and it keeps coming for more.
