T5 - TK0 ???
My 91 has a WC T5 (Borg Warner)...
I picked up a Summit Catalog, says Tremec Transmissions, the very first couple of transmissions are T5's ... Then later you get to the TKO 500 and 600...
Are Borg Warner & Tremec related???
Also, why would you spend almost $2k on rebuilding a t5 with parts from a company that may only guarantee them for 6 months when the I saw some TKO 600's on Ebay for under $2k, shipping included & LIFETIME SERVICE WARRANTY???
I want to keep my some 5 speed, but will someday upgrade the motor / rear end / trans... gotta have something to handle the D1SC

Re: T5 - TK0 ???
The tko's are beefy transmissions, just make sure you get one for a 3rd gen with the adapter plate. I think they have a longer input shaft.
Fortespartsconnection is the place to go.
