Default Re: T5 Valley Machining Kit

The T5 is a wonderful transmission. The previous owner installed it; I purchased the car almost four years ago and have had no problems. According to the transmission code it is a world class transmission from a Camaro, Firebird, or Chevy S-10 (late 80's/early 90's). My Model A has a 3.78 rear and on local roads I usually am in fourth gear. On open roads in fifth gear I go 55 MPH with an RPM of 2100. Gas mileage on local roads is 16-17 MPG; on trips it is 20-21. I have read some negative reviews on the T5 which I truly do not understand; mine has been perfect; shifts easily with no grinding of gears...a pleasure! Perhaps some of the negativity is a result of poor installation. GD
