Kills so far after the t5 swap
Only 2 but
1. late 90s eclipse non-turbo, usually wont waste time with stuff like this but I just finished my swap and hadnt tore it up yet, plus the car had a fart tip and stupid tail lights. This one was so easy it wasnt funny![Wink](https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
2. on the highway...a late 90s early 00s BMW 740, from about 60 to 80, not so easy but I still won

Nice kills, I bet you're having fun with the good old T5....
I can't wait to get my new tranny (blew up my NWC T5, now I'm getting a WC T5) so I can drive my car again.

when you get the wc in there tell me how it is compared to the nwc since youll have a side by side comparo.

Yes, it makes a huge difference. Not only are the gears more evenly spread, but it's fun to drive. Plus you can "stall" it at whatever rpm you want unlike an auto which has a fixed stall. Manual cars will always be faster (with a good driver) than an auto because of the lower gears and you can shift faster with a manual. It's definitely worth it to swap, you'll be much happier with it.

kfoley, i totally agree, changing mine from an auto made a gigantic difference in speed and gas mileage and of course its way more fun than just stepping on the gas to go

I was refering to shifting faster than stock autos, however race prepped ones you wouldn't have a chance in hell shifting faster....
