advice/help
I had a tranny swap on my car to a T5, and now I pretty much don't accelerat after 3000rpms in 1st, 2nd and 3ed gear. Someone said it might be that my rear-end gears are wrong size. Could that be or is it the tranny??

The clutch and flywheel were replaced, I don't know about the pressure plate. Though I would assume so, everything between the tranny and engine was replaced.

Re: advice/help
Its like something isn't connecting to the engine/tranny after 3000rpms, because the engine gets louder and the rpms go up, but the car is cruising, or barely accelerating.
