I converted my 5 speed to an auto. I absolutely hated it, and switched back. There is just something about a Fox with a T5.

Yeah that's what I keep thinking will happen... It's just that the automatics hold more power and I eventually want to have this be a track car. Also I'm a bit paranoid about the T5Z, even though I've read a ton of threads and seen that lots of people have them and they work great on cars that have way more power than mine.

Astro Transmission. I have the 650hp rated version and have had no troubles. They are a little loud, but otherwise shift and work like a stock t5. Maybe a little harder to shift when cold.

I was thinking about going with an A5 but thats easily a grand over the T5Z. I'm anxious and want the car back on the road asap. We will see if I end up saving for the A5 lol. I'm sure the A5 would shift better all the time than the T5 I had. It was screwed up even when I bought it. Super notchy and whined horribly.
