I have have had no problems with the stock t-5 except putting new syncros in a year ago. I was wrong about the t-45 fitting 302's. Sorry about that, i was not thinking about what i was saying. I will now leave the correct info. Borg Warner T-45 transmissions are found in 1996 and later 4.6L V-8 single and dual over head cam Mustangs. The design is very much like the T-5 and T-56 transmissions. It has single rail gear selector and carbon lined steel synchro rings. The gears are stronger then a T-5. The bell housing is built into the main case so it can not bolt to other earlier bell housings found on Windsor blocks. T-45 from 96-98 GT are different than the Cobra Mustangs. The transmission mount point is moved further back on a Cobra T-45. In 1999 all T-45's were changed to the Cobra specs. T-45 shifters are the same as the T-5 shifter, therefore, any aftermarket shifter will work on both transmissions. Borg Warner T-5/T-45/T-56 all use ATF oil or Synthetic ATF. No other oil should be used. Redline MTL should not been used. Redline ATF is fine. My recommendation is to use Amsoil ATF as I have used it at the track with great results.
