Thats why the V8 has the tremec.

I had almost 600nm in my AU XR6 manual, and gave it a fairly hard time too. The box never even made any noise, let alone turn to custard.
Yes, the T5 is an old box, and yes, they have a lower load rating than other boxes, but IMO, the only reason the T5's should be replaced is the crap shift quality. If your blowing up gearboxes in an XR6t, then you need to learn how to drive, or get an auto.
