Congrats. You shouldn't have any problems from leaking or the trans anymore. T-5's are hard on 2nd gear for the torque multiplication. The advantage here is it's powering a Cobra which is much lighter than a Mustang. Once you approach or exceed 350 Hp/Tq. at the flywheel, the T-5's usefulness is exceeded. You might look at a 3550 if you have any more issues as it has a much higher torque rating.

Glad to hear the fluid was OK, it's a telltale sign of any issues whether in automatic or standard trans.
