Re: t5 transmission
look up the size and spline count you need, i dont remember for sure what it was (10.5 diameter ?). i do remember that mine is a zoom kevlar set for some kind of ford. i dont think the make it says its for matters, just the size and spline count.

Re: t5 transmission
I'd second what JamesC said. Summit is usually my first stop for browsing at least.
*Personally*, I'd stay away from Brute Power and SPEC.
I *love* my McLeod full ceramic in my race car (not a 3rdgen), but I'm not sure I'd like it on the street. I personally recommend Luk or Sachs, and they often have a performance version. If you're making stupid torque, I'd definitely go McLeod. I'd also stay away from Centerforce if you make big torque at low RPM.
I wish I knew exactly whats was in my car right now, but I got it from the previous owner and he wasn't even sure. I *think* it's an ACT or RAM, and it seems to be holding very well and not showing much wear. Then again, I don't pound gears or launch hard (I'm actually very easy on clutches according to many of the guys I race with), and I'm only probably making 350 ft.lb. or so...

Re: t5 transmission
i do like my kevlar clutch kit but it seems to be sliiping at high rpm shifts. i would blame that on myself not breaking it in properly. it cleary states it needs a 200 mile break in and i only gave it about 75. so whatever you get make sure you dont do what i did
