People may tell you theirs is "better", but the bearings all have the same part #s on them...

www.gearzone.net has them, seems to be decent pricing.

I got mine from www.hanlonmotorsports.com They are EXTREMELY knowledgable, and the video is excellent as well.

Very complete kit, and even when I found an additional part that I needed in a hurry, they expedited it out to me.

Very satisfied.

hmmm, t5's are inherently weak...they are prone to gear spread at high shaft speeds, and the case is prone to flex under load which also spreads the gears.....the world class t5 is a bit tougher(but not really) the damn things just basically suck, i had 2 cars with them both trannies were junk. if your gonna make any kind of power, do what i did and go with the tremec 3550 or TKO. i have the TKO which is tougher but even pricier. However, as with most things you get what you pay for.

I have to put in another vote for hanlon. I used their kit and video. Their kit is a few bucks more, but when I had a question I got an answer on Saturday when I called. So it was worth the few extra dollars to get the hanlon kit. The video is outstanding by the way.
