Check this out !!!!
 

Well, today I was told by the dealer to pick my car up and take it to the one I had the trans replaced the first time. My car was there from thursday to tuesday and all they did was fix a recall on the parking brake. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/mad.gif I will never step foot in that dealer again. I am such a die hard Ford fan. Butit hurts the way I was treated. This is the fourth trans in this cars life. Whats up with that. And my Cobra only has 23,000 miles on the clock.

Dude... they fixed mine while replacing a fog light bulb. Left it there for 2-3hrs top.

Your dealer sucks!!!!

Seriously you guys, I am going to start a petition to ford about the lame T-45. My synchros were pretty much toast at 19,000 miles and my car is bone stock. If it cant handle stock horsepower then there is a serious problem. Strait out I will not pay to get it fixed so that it will break again. Snake I feel you man, I have two dealerships within an hour of me, one I will never go back to, and the other I go purely out of necessity.

Another thing I was told is that the T-45 is the same trans thats in the Saleen's. Is that true? Also since the trans is going to out I bought a Motorsport HD clutch for them to put in. Is that a good clutch or what? Later http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

Yes the SALEENS come with stock transmissions....In your case it is a Borg Warner T-45. Ford changed to a Tremec built T-45 in 98 but it's still a T-45....I shift my s281 @ 6400 and the T-45 doesn't like those high rpm's (no powershifting, that's almost impossible). If you're going to keep the car I recommend a Tremec 3550 or TKO....

Sign me up, I am having trouble with my transmission in my 96 gt. I think I'm going with the tremec, but I could use some help with installing it. Have you seen any info on the conversion?
