i've been searching the boards and have read a lot about our t45 tranny being really weak. if my tranny ever does go out or i ended up supercharging my cobra, what tranny would you recommend for replacing it?

thanks,

You can turn your signature on and off automatically in the User Cp area. Otherwise you may have to check the box everytime you post.

Edit: Forgot that after your first post in the thread your signature is automatically turned off to save bandwidth.

I'm not sure about the cheapest place on line, but mine was about $1500. You'll have to get a new bell housing, a different clutch disk (the input shaft splines are different), and oblong the holes in your cross member. You might also need a different slip yoke for the rear driveshaft, I can't remember if the tailshaft splines are different on the 4.6 cars I know they were on my 5.0.

Also your shifter from the t-45 will not fit on the tremec, your's is a 4 bolt and the tremec's are a six bolt.

When I upgrade out of want or need I will get the T56.
I wish someone would make replacement internals that were pretty much "bulletproof" such as Jerico,D&D,Liberty or whoever...

The trans and the bellhousing were $1500. Plus you have to get a clutch, I recommend a SPEC stageII.

It sounds more painful than it really is, but it's worth it. :beer:
