99 cobra tranny into my 97 GT?

[BABstangV6]

Well can you guys first tell me what tranny I have in my car. Sorry new at the whole V8 thing.

Second thing tell me if the tranny out of a 99 cobra will fit into my car. And if it can how much work involved (and any custom fitting).

is the tranny same out of the 99+ GT's that were in the 99-02 cobras?

Thanks a lot peeps.

Some help anyone?

you have a t45, the 99 cobras have a t45, therefore you are putting in an identical transmission. 01 cobras and 01 bullits have a t3650, and the GT's started getting them sometime in 01, forget when.

I heard the cobra has an electrical digital speedo sensor and the 1996-1998 GT transmissions have a gear driven speedo sensor. Is that true. If it is what has to be changed to get it to work?

 

[BABstangV6]

Also how much is a new 99 tranny worth?

 

[Jr2fast]

you are correct on the electronic speedo, and it depends on what someone wants to pay for it. I bought mine brand new for 550 with 0 miles from SHM. However I have only put about 3k on it total and 100 mile since the total rebuild and i am selling it for 300 due to I jammed it in reverse. It really depends on the tranny, condition, mileage etc..ect....

 

[BABstangV6]

is there a kit to hook it up then, since there are different connections?

What about crossmember problems?

 

[mustang70]

Why do you want to swap a T-45 for a T-45? If you want to upgrade your tranny maybe you should look in a Tremec TKO.

Money is a huge issue with me right now working at chickfila and going to highschool. I found a cobra tranny for 400 bucks and I was wondering the diffculties of hooking it up. If you guys know where they sell cheap trannys for 96-98 GT's show me the sites or help me to find a conversion kit for this cobra tranny... PLEASE!

Is your tranny going out? If not, you might want to look up the torque ratings of the two trannies. I really can't see two different T-45's having different torque ratings. Although I am new to the SN95's so I don't know a whole lot. But if your tranny is fine and the trannies are the same then you don't have to worry about swapping them out.

Yeah my tranny = teh suxorz.

This can be changed by swapping the tailshaft housing and gear from the old to the new T-45.

That sound right? I have been doing a lot of searching and that is all about I can find for this swap.

 

[mustang70]

That's what I was thinking you could do. Although you might have to change the output shaft as well. Since the Cobra tranny won't have the drive gear.

You know anything about cross-member fitment issues?

 

[mustang70]

There shouldn't be any. The case of the tranny is the same for both models.

The tranny is supposebly new, so for 500 bucks total should I grab this up?

the case is the same about what about the tranny mounts?

I doubt it's new, maybe rebuilt. If it is new, 500 is a steal! Oh it should fit fine, just worry about the electronic speedo..
