need advice

[Trash man]

since i killed the t-5 in my car, i;ve been lookin for a new(used one) and they are all like 500 or more for a used world class my question is i found a "brand new" t-5 on ebay. they want 488$ for it pluus 130$ to ship it, think its worth it? i've got college starting in 2 weeks so i gotta watch my cash flow so i dont wanna get it if theres better deals out there for cheaper

Just a suggestion. A stock T-5 will work fine if you do lift throttle shifts. It's powershifting that kills them.

yea i kno, i always lift, but as soon as the clutch is off, im WOT, and still ends up in chirpin the tires but thats not what killed the tranny
