Are the 5spd S-dime tranny's weak? I've heard some bad things and some good things? I'm talking about the 98+
Are they weak or not?

·They are pretty up to about 150,000. Thats when that pilot bearing starts to go out but if you drive in 4 in can buy u some time until u have to fix it.

what excatly are you asking ?? weak as in will it last long in a mostly stock truck, should. provided you don t beat the hell out of it, will it stand up to drag racing with nitrous or a blower i seriously doubt it, it will last a little while just all depends how hard you are on it. i know brett is still running the stock 5 speed with a high h.p. motor, but he has also said he hasn t been able to run it at the track like he wants to. i can t speak for everyone but mine lasted about 6 months after i put a supercharger on it, and i wasn t that gentle on it either it all depends on your driving style. but if you want something better for performance go with the auto and have it built, or get a manual and swap in a 6 speed all about what you want. hope this helps ya

·Well was he doing burnouts at everyother stop lights and hard on the clutch. My runs just fine and I don't dog it all the time but every once in a while I got to show what the v-6 will do to all the little ricers around town.97SE-R said:

no complaints, could use a shorter throw shifter think B&M makes em plus one more mpg than the autos.

·There is a switch in there that won't let u do that so u won't blow the motor up but thats only when u going fast but below 5mph there is something wrong. Maybe a sincronizer.mrshaft696 said:
