How much checkout do you do on a transmission after rebuild?
We make sure it shifts good, there is no movement in the shafts, and there is no noises. All parts are inspected before going into the tranny.

If I'm converting from a C-4, what else would I need besides one of your packages?
A clutch pedal (an option in the package) and drive shaft. We now stock new pedals for vintage Mustangs with a unique two piece design to simplify installation. We stock new drive shafts or you can shorten and re-balance the one you have.

I have a 289 in a '67 Mustang. It may get stronger but never go over 300hp but might get to 300lbs/ft. What is the best package?
For a little extra money the 325HP package contains a 10.5" King Cobra style clutch, but a 300HP package would also work just fine (10" stock organic clutch).

My transmission is hard shifting into gear?
In most cases the problem is the syncro's will not slow the gear down to allow the shift to occur. If this is allowed to continue the slide ring and gear will also need to be replaced.

My transmission makes a lot of gear noise in all gears but fourth, what could be the problem?
Most likely the input shaft and lower cluster have badly worn gears and should be replaced. The reason it does not make lots of noise in fourth, is the input and output shafts are locked together with no power applied to the gears.

My transmission makes a weird sound when I shift. Do I need to have it rebuilt?
It is very hard to diagnose a transmission without seeing it, so it is best to take the car to a local mechanic and have it checked out. If it is determined that the transmission is bad, you can either remove it yourself, or have a mechanic remove it and then have us rebuild it. If you remove the transmission yourself, plan on about two to three hours to remove. You should also drain the transmission fluid before you remove it, and be prepared because the transmission will leak a little from the output shaft when you remove the drive shaft (even after you drained it).

-
Is there a break-in period for a rebuilt transmission?
We recommend that you avoid aggressive driving for the first 500 miles on a new gearset to allow the gears to polish each other adding years to the service life.

How much oil do I have to put into my transmission, and do I ever have to change it?
A WC T5 takes about 2.75Qts of ATF, where as NWC T5 use 2.75 Qts of 70 weight gear oil. Tremec 3550/TKO takes 3Qts of GM syncromesh only. We recommend that you change the oil in the transmission once every two years for street driving and once a year for severe driving.
