Found some stuff while hunting for a good source for t-5 hard parts...
http://www.5speeds.com/t5.htm
Interesting little piece, although it seems to be aimed at folks who like to go fast as hell in 5th gear...not us drag racers. Price is $59.95. One thing I found interesting was how they check for cluster "endplay." Rather than using the traditional .000"-.002" endplay spec they actually add some preload on the cluster ...They say 2 in/lbs there, but if you read the RC assembly page below, they shoot for 4 in/lbs.

Neat T-5 identification chart and tag identifier.

Top part of the page is a neat race-only T-5, but the bottom describes a new close-ratio gearset (2.45 first gear). The neat part about the RC gearset is the modular cluster gear. This would allow you to replace ONLY the part of the cluster that you blew up rather than the whole damn thing.... Pretty good idea..

And, last but not least, a ordering page with some decent prices on hard parts...
Chris...you ever seen this site before? I wonder if the parts are of decent quality? Hanlon's price on a new 2nd gear is $110, but this place has em for $65..
