Just looking for a little confirmation that my T5 has taken a huge dump. Nothing works but 4th gear. Not even reverse. Was originally hoping it was something like a shift fork but since I don't have reverse.......anyway....

 

yep, you blew it. my friend has an '89 Formula with the TPI 305/T5 and i have an '87 Formula with the same combe and his did the same thing. if you are the adventurous type when you get the tranny out, disassemble it, tell me whatcha see, ok? again, sorry about your misfortune and good luck gettin your Camaro back on the road!

 

wow thats a huge dump

seems like everything failed

the reason 4th works is because thats direct drive

sorry to hear that man

it should be pretty easy to rebuild though

i havent done a T5 yet, but i have done other manual trannies at school..............took me about 3 hours with all the right tools at my disposal

good luck

 

the gear on your counter shaft has exploded, and fourth is direct drive therefore you still have it.

 

Just an update, you were all right. The first gear on the countershaft was spun completely smooth. It even hogged out the case about a 1/4" all around. Nasty stuff. Got a new one from a good friend for a good price.

 

im glad to hear, i can't stand to see a good f-body down!!!!

 

Im guessing I got the same problem, I just ordered the master rebuild kit and video but if mine blew that gear its lookin like the rebuild kit wont help....

its been down since I bought it, the tranny went 40 miles on the way home..
