    Step up and get a 3650, they are a lot better or check salvage yards and see if you can find a decent cobra 6-speed. I replaced my t-45 with a 3650 and a 03-04 cobra clutch and so far so good.

    im not going to another t45, becasue i know it will break again. im going to go for a 3650, i would tko the thing but its not in the fundage...

    it just like a t5 in a fox, the people that say they are good, dont ever drive them or shift the things... so im gonna do what ford should have done in the first place and put a stronger trans in...
