is t5 swap worth doing
my 700r4 is junk, would swapping a t5 from hawks worth 750 be better? i like driving the stick which i have in my truck so figured it may be fun in the z also.
Thanks Jeff

i personnaly like standard trannys for street cars. if u prefer a standard go for it. there is an upgrade kit out now for the T5 to make it hella strong plus theyre extremely easy to maintain and swap in.
I did the swap this spring and it is the single best modification I have done. I don't know how much it improved performance because I also went from 993 smog heads to Pro Lightnings and from an RV cam to a Comp XE274 all at the same time. Sure makes the car more fun to drive plus I think it really changed how the car handles now. Doesn't always feel like the front end is plowing.
