Assembled another T5 for the Malibu. Shortly after installing the used trans I picked up, 4th gear synchro was MIA. This is the only time I have ever bought something used and put it in my car without tearing it apart and inspecting/rebuilding the item and it bit me right in the *ss. I had already been gathering parts, and with some great reference material and guidance from t5montecarlo, I came up with a v8 t5, with a 5th gear ratio of .56 :shock: .
