I think the TR3650 has a .67 OD gear as well as the T45. I know my car has factory gears and the math works out for my RPM to be a .67 OD Gear. Unless somehow my 01 Cobra has a T45 in it.

I'd stay with the 3650. It is somewhat stronger, and has a .62 OD vs the .67 in the T45 (hence the gas mileage question).

Good luck.

t45 and the 3650 in the '01 cobra's both have identical gear ratios(.67 5th). the 3650 in the 03/04 mach 1's have the .62 5th.

does anyone have the specs out of a Mach 1 Trans. If it is exact or similar to a 01 Cobras ratios but with a .62OD that would be amazing. .62 OD would drop cruising RPMs about 225 RPM which i'll take (4.30s) but i hope for a similar size first gear for a fast take off.

Ok - didn't realize that. I was simply going by Tremec's website numbers.

The .62 is the only thing that really makes the 3650 worth more than the T45, IMHO. It does have a higher torque rating, but that comes at the price of more weight.

it's cool. i just didn't want anyone to be confused in later threads about gear/rpm/speed....a .62 5th would be a tad nicer though!
