Let me just say the 5 speed swap is by far the best mod for any TGP.   Adam (flybynite) hit the nail on the head, the tune is awsome.  Im probably putting the car away for the winter in a couple days,  plan on installing a stage 3 clutch, fixing EGR pipe and installing a new gas tank.  Might install EGT gauge i have layin around and a HKS bov.  Heres a couple short vids... enjoy

No..I still have wiring issues to sort out....Although I think it's the ignition switch/turnsignal switch.  I'll be testing a known good steering column tonight to see if it'll run/have power!

I hope it is, because if it's not, I have NO CLUE what is wrong.  FUN FUN I do have all winter to figure it out tho!...But glad to see someone is enjoying their 5spd TGP!!!

I'm probably mistaken, but I thought there were some aftermarket ones available through one of the parts chains.

Its a stock reman i got locally.  I removed both pieces last night, its strange, it looks like the joint itself just came out but i dont see anythign actually broken. im thinkin i hit a little pothole while the tires were spinning in  2nd... didnt really notice any wheel hop but that what it was.  I did get a tip to a local place that could make hardened axles.
