Death of a T5

[martin0660]

Fragged a 4 cylinder T5 in my Capri at the track yesterday. Let out the clutch after the 2-3 shift and boom. This is the first one I have really broke in the last ~8 years of racing thme pretty hard. I have lost a few to syncros, but this one really broke.

Turn up the sound.........

other than the sound of shattering steel, the car sounds really good. i wasnt expecting a 4 banger. ;)

Sounds good, too bad it broke.

sounds pretty wicked, that trans never had a chance!

Thanks everyone, it runs okay ;)

that trans never had a chance!

That pass for sure, but I usually get something like 100+ passes out of the 4 cylinder boxes, then it's usually syncros that go. This is the first one I actually really broke. It's all good, I have a V8 input shaft at the machine shop being ground to 2.3 pilot diamater, and Astro parts on the way :D
