So that is exactly my concern. I’ve read tons on the T5, but I’m really interested in a new piece of equipment that leaves me open for a potential engine swap in the future. All the T5 info I’ve seen looks like it involves cobbling together a tail piece from one transmission and hoping the donor guts from another are still in good shape, unless I have a major misunderstanding … since I’m a marginally qualified driveway mechanic, I wonder if I’m more likely to have success with a TK type of tranny. I like my L6, but those big V8s are seductive. Someone needs to smack some sense into me and remind me that my L6 is super cool and getting more rare because everyone else already LS swapped their trucks. I guess I’m diving back into the T5 threads ha!
