Every transmission guy I talked to said No. The 5th gear is grossly undersized and when it goes it typically takes the rest of the transmission with it..An expensive proposition w/ the 722.5's.

My advise, use a .3 and a gear vendors overdrive. It's not cheap, will require a custom adapter plate but you can make it all Bullet proof.
