Best and Cheapest T-5 parts source please. . .
Hey,
I was wondering if anyone knows the best place to buy or rebuild my transmission. I would really like to find a rebuild kit that includes high quality racing parts, instead of the stock quality parts. Also, I may need to buy some gears, possibly shift forks. Where is the best place for this? I need to rebuild my 92 WC T-5 so if anyone can give me their best choice on where to get all my parts and information. While im on the subject, Ive decieded to go with the dual friction center force clutch system, then use my newer throwout bearing and have my stock flywheel re-surfaced. Does this sound like a setup to last me for a long time, being raced on every once and awhile? Thanks again,
Andy

There are no "racing" rebuild parts. Either they're T-5 parts, or they're not. It's mostly a bunch of single-source stuff.
Yes, that is the correct way to replace a clutch... do every mainteneance thign at once, don't try to half-a$$ it. You'll love the CF DF clutch.
Don't forget to put a new pilot bearing in the back of the crank.... a very critical part, often overlooked, will cause all sorts of strange unpleasant malfunctions.

I've only dealt with the first one, but the other gets alot of high compliments from people who use it.

Hanlon motorsports or d&d performance are considerations. It wouldn't hurt you to look around locally either.
