I have the t-5 in my 89 gta and i've been having some trouble with it. I live in Finland and almost all cars here are manual so i definately know how to use one so that's not the problem the problem is that it "complains" sometimes when "racing" around town. The operation isn't smooth, the gears will not go in easily, atleast not as easily as i feel they should or du on other cars. It's not REAL BAD but It should definately be smoother and/or faster. But worst is reverse... it often makes a bad grinding metal noise, even when first shifting to a forward gear while standing still.

I think this pic is of a ford t-5 model but if at all possible please explain exactly what parts could be the cause of this all. I'm not at all familiar with transmission operation, nor am I with the names of parts, other than the ones i see in the pic so feel free to "fill it in"

So do i need to throw the old one out completely or what?
