I have never heard such a thing. W58's are great, and you will never really use 5th (especially being an over-drive gear). I could hardly use it on the highway with 3.9's unless i was doing over 130.
I was reading in a build log that some people feel that 5th is weak on a w58.
I'm planning on swapping to a w58 b/c the T-50 is weak. How bad is the w58? I don't ever see myself sliding in 5th gear...

you'll be alright mate
dose
with a 4a, youll be fine
you think a 4a cant break a w58 dave! exactly, you wont be thrashing the thing in 5th gear and will barely have ne load on it in 5th too
and why is that exactly? what revs would it sit on?
I wouldn't worry about a weak fifth gear unless your clutch kicking at 230km/h

With Super Thanks to AJPS for all your AE86 and BBQ needs.
w50 and t50 have the weaker 5th
Shit all. 2000-something, it would labour unless you were driving slightly down a hill (even in a 110 zone).
