Hi!
 Using a T5 is not the way to go if you want to
slam gear shifts.

 A T56 not only has better (and more) gear ratios, 
it can be built to take twice as much torque as a
T5 (300 ft/lbs NORMAL driving vs up to 600 ft/lbs)!

But speed costs money - How fast do you want to go?

 The T5 is not just weak, the parts aren't cheap, 
and unless you've already done at least a few manual 
transmission rebuilds, is challenging.

Going this way also requires a final drive gear ratio 
change to take full advantage of the swap.

The Borg Warner/TREMEC T56 6 speed is a better choice,
if money is no problem.

Still, even it will require a custom bell housing,
the usual clutch, shifter, trans mount, drive shaft,
etc., adaptations.

Why not just stay with a good strong 4speed box?

Has anybody every put a 5-spd in their car other than
the 
Keisler? I was wondering if the Dakota trans was any
good. 
I was thinking about converting my 64 Polara, and
maybe 
even my 99 Dakota R/T. Can this trans be slammed
during 
shifts, or is it like the old truck trannys that 
would only shift slow? Can they handle any power?
Anybody know of any other 5-spds that might work? 
Sorry for all the ????'s
