I have a 89 lx with a aod trans.I am thinking about switching it over to a t5 i am woundering if this would be a go move or should i stay with the aod trans?  

I would say AOD bc you can shift faster than an auto tranny even though 5 speeds are fun to drive  

HEY I WAS GOING TO DO THE SAME THING I WAS GOING TO BUY A VIPER SPEC T-56 AND THE CONVERSION KIT FRUM AMP PERFORMANCE IN ARIZONA BUT INSTEAD I LOOK TO PA PERFORMANCE FOR MY AOD NEED AND LET ME TELL YOU IM GLAD I DID I BOUGHT THERE STREET STRIP AOD WITH A HIGH STALL CONVERTER WELL WORTH THE MONEY YEA SHIFTING IS FUN AND I DONT CARE WHAT ANY 1 SAYS U GET OPITIMUM PERFORMANCE FROM IT BEING STICK NO LIE BUT STICK CAN B A HASSEL LIKE IF UR IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC ESPICALLY IF UR GOING UP A HILL EXPAMPLE ........E BRAKE ON PUT IT IN GEAR SLOWELY TAKE E BRAKE OFF ...... SO U DONT ROLL BACK AND HIT THE AZZ....

OYEA IF U LIVE IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA AND U NEED PERFORMANCE PARTS U NEED TO CHECK OUT WWW.BROTHERSPERFORMANCE.COM I BOUGHT MY PA PERFORMANCE AUTO TRANS FROM THEM I STARTED OFF WITH THEM THEY STOCK 98% OF WHAT THEY ADVERTISE FROM TRANSMISSIONS TO AFR HEADS TO COWL HOODS THEY GOT IT ALL ........................AOD ALL THE WAY!!!!!I TAKE GREAT PRIDE IN SAYING I BEAT U WITH A AUTOMATIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stick with the AOD. There might me a lot people saying that they are slow, but to me, it ain't. I have an AOD 1993 GT convertible with stock 3.27 gears and its pretty quick.
