If you need a stronger trans just drop a tko or t56 in it. I sure as hell would not put a C4 in there unless its a pure drag car. No overdrive with 4.10s, get ready for less than 10mpg.
Tkos are pretty much the strongest 5 speed transmission made. There are plenty of people who have them in 10sec and even 9 sec mustangs.
Ok i was just outside messin with my car and its weird. I can put the car into any gear fine, when i actually blew my trans before i couldn;t put it into any gear. Also if its in nuetral and my foot is on the clutch its fine when i take nmy foot off the clutch it starts making this loud clicking noise? Thats what its doin in every gear whenever my foot is not on the clutch... what is this??

Pull the trans and try to identify which gear you just blew. You running on slicks?
T45's are NOT meant to take a lot of abuse. The survival stories about people running them on sticky tires and powershifting at redline are the exception, not the norm.
You've broken the trans 7 times in 4 months and not thought about buying a stronger one?
no i blew the trans 4 times in 7 monthes and am just now thinking of buying another one. It is warrantied so i keep gettin free trannys but no more of this free **** they be givin, besides i pulled it apart and it was just the clutch disc that had pretty much exploded so i have some time now to save for a new tranny. I already ordered a aluminium Flywheel and king cobra clutch....
www.x2cmotorsports.com They have built TKO's and will even build to your liking or specifications. They're reputation is excellent and they use their own transmissions in their drag cars. Don't think they're expensive either.
