I pulled the transmission and discoverd it is not the 3550 but rather the
world class T-5 tag 1352-249. My mistake. I bought the set up as a crate
build and when I went back and checked my billing it was a T-5. It is fun
getting older! Long story short version - casing is bad, reverse gear is bad,
etc. and the estimate is $1,200 for a rebuild. Haven't found anything yet.
Checked ebay, one seller had one with the same tag # at $900, add shipping
and I'm back to $1,200. I'm trying to stay with the same so I don't have to start changing other stuff - clutch, pressure plate, drive shaft, etc. anyone
know of a similar tranny available or if something else would be an easy switch. I have a little over 400 hp & torque but don't slam it. The other lasted almost 18k miles and I think it may have been tired when I got it.
I have never had clutch or tranny problems in anything before so I don't
think it was me.

Thanks for your help.
