what the previous owner of your car tells you. The A-525 was supposed to have been rebuilt a little before the A-555 was installed. Even in the low light, you can see the "issue" with 5th.

Funny how all the 86 and 87 S cars end up with that "mod"......
I thought the gravel in a bucket sound was normal.....

Sometimes a "rebuild" to a Shelby Dodge owner is adding some thicker oil to quiet the puppy down 
Stick with the A-555 you'll be much happier.

It is kind of funny when they sound like GM M-22 4 speed.
Steve, I am staying with the 555.
I decided to pull the 525 apart to see if it really had been rebuilt. 
Thankfully the magnet grabbed almost everything. Also found the 1-2 shift fork had a broken ear on it. Otherwise, the rest of it looks pretty good. Bryan

After shattering 3 525s with a log engine I never even tried to drive my GLHS with a 525. Took it to the store up the street, got some fresh gas, and put it in my shop. So I almost drove 1 mile before going to the 555.
Today I think the best mod for a GLHS is the 523. You can run the stock GLHS shift knob and use the SRT-4 short throw MP shifter. The early trans has a week 3rd gear retainer plate too. I am a fan of the Spirit R/T clutch, OBX posi, booger bushings, SRT-4 short shifter, Momo shift knob, and 91-92 3.77 geared A523. Looks stock, shifts much better. Posi LMAO and a clutch that holds a modest 215 WHP. Less than $1,000 total as well.
