I just replaced my T5 this afternoon and am on #3. The first had some horrible noise in 4th and 5th. The second was not as bad so thought it might be bearings and ordered a rebuild kit. Not as noisy but still prominent in 5th. This morning I managed to find #3 on Craigs out of a GMC S15 for a $100 and now that I am an expert in re and re of T5`s, had it finished in under 2 hours. The noise is not as bad as the first 2 and I think that the problem with these used T5`s are 5th gear wear.
I think I will research and source gears now that I have a spare T5 to play with.
