He beat the TURDS out of it. ROFL and it keeps coming back for more. I wonder if only having a 1/2 pint of lube in your T-5 may have led to it's demise. The T-5 I have (world class from a Mustang) holds two quarts. I put synthetic auto trans lube in per Hanlon Motorsports. I can't believe the T-5 in your CJ only holds 2 pints?? There can't be that much difference in capacity between having a tail housing and not. Kind of like condemning all Ramblers because the one you drove for 125,000 miles and never changed the oil finally blew up so it's a turd too. Doesn't make sense to condemn something you didn't take care of properly. I don't recommend beating on any T-5 unless it's one of those highly modified versions that can take the abuse, but then again people do it all the time and they seem to hold up, considering what gets done to them.

They have a really bad rep with the CJ crowd.

I have been running one of those turds for years, it has totally unknown mileage on it and still works perfect between my 4.0L and 3:31 gears. Sure you can break it, but hell you can step on a turd to if you don't pay attention to what you are doing! > > Mark Price > _________________________________________________________________ > Hotmail: Trusted email with powerful SPAM protection. > http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/177141665/direct/01/ > _______________________________________________ > AMC-list mailing list > AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx > http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com > > > -- > Internal Virus Database is out-of-date. > Checked by AVG. > Version: 7.5.560 / Virus Database: 270.12.26/2116 - Release Date: 5/15/09 6:16 AM > > _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com _______________________________________________ AMC-list mailing list AMC-list@xxxxxxxxxxxx http://list.amc-list.com/listinfo.cgi/amc-list-amc-list.com
