Has anyone ever rebuilt a 5 speed manual here(EA one mainly), and if so how hard was it and how long did it take. Also where can you get good quality rebuild kits for them?

He was lying about the $20 above his cost.donuts2003 said:Yeah I went into Repco today and got a price on a rebuild kit for the T5 manual for the EA Falcon... $615!!! F%ck me dead! And he only added $20 on the cost price as well I think!
No he wasn't... I saw him mark the price up on the computer.He was lying about the $20 above his cost.
My price on a T5 rebuild kit for an XF, which I think is the same as an EA is just under $250, If you need 1 ,let me know and I'll work out a price for you.
They may never give the same price twice, but I can promise you that they are maintaining their profit margin, All Repco employees can override the price that the computer tells you, sometimes I go right down to the bare minimum, other times, depending on your attitude, I may give a marginal discount or tell you that it's the lowest I can go.donuts2003 said:Pfft... Been to repco here lots of times, and they always make up the price when your there(they never give the same price twice) I can usually score discounts on the first price they give me by asking for a discount.
Maybe your managers are stingey down there :nerner:
There are no adjustments in a T5 to vary backlash. There are in fact only two adjustments in a T5, cluster preload,(to an end float spec) and input shaft preload, (to an end float spec).katilich said:and set your bearing prelodas in acrodance with the amount of back lash you want to obtain, a small amount is essential too allow for expansion as the g-box heats up, veary the backlash by shiming one gear rail in too mesh with the countershaft, the deeper in mesh, the less clearence there is between the teeth
Get details. $150 will be major bearings and seals, $325 will be this plus a small parts kit, including keys, needle rollers, etc. Synchros will be extra.fordboy1996 said:dudes! I just rang Bursons today and they quoted me $150 for a basic rebuild kit and $325 for the full rebuild kit....that's pretty good....but it's a matter of fitting....someone must do a change over deal...
