t5 < - > t45

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 10:18 AM

Hi,
I've a almost new T5 and I want to rebuilt it to be more stronger.
Right now, I'm using a T45 in my 98GT but both tranny are almost the same except for the "tail" or the shifter part. I want to know if I can swap this part of the tranny on both of them.
I want to use my T45 shifter part or "tail" and install it on the rebuilded T5

Thanks

Why would want a T5 over a T45? I don't see where you are benefiting yourself.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 10:24 AM

If I can rebuilt my T5 with some harder part it shoulb last longer than my used t45... ?
Or I can rebuilt a stronger t45 ?

T45 > any T5...rebuilt or not.

Bingo!

Whay do you think the 5.0 guys are always searching for other trannies to put behind their pushrod powerplants when they start making HP.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 11:07 AM

Alright,
then what I should buy to have a stronger t45 ? To handle around 450 hp ?

acmillr · March 20th, 2009, 11:10 AM

Exactly what are you trying to do? A T45 might last a little while on a blown 450 HP car, but it would probably shit the bed one first run on a nitrous car.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 11:47 AM

I've a 5.4 4v with some mod and all forged internals, the engine have around 400 hp.
I want to use my zex wet for maybe 100-125 hp of nitrous.

T-45 will last a while.

If not...give ProMotion a call. They can hook you up with some power handling T-45s.

SWEET2KSTANG · March 20th, 2009, 01:34 PM

you can make a t5 stronger than any t45 and last. the tails arent changeable, you have to get a ket to make the t5 work. you can have the t45 built, i have one and love the hell out of it!

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 01:59 PM

Sweet2kstang: what's inside your t45 ?
What is your suggestion if I want a strong t45 ?

Thanks

SWEET2KSTANG · March 20th, 2009, 02:07 PM

i have treated forks, upgraded sync's, treated input, shift keys 1-4, 3rd gear spacer, and shifts better than any other manual car i have ever delt with. i will go to a 26 spline input later in the year as well. a built t45 will do 700rwhp which is more than most people will ever push.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 02:45 PM

And where did you buy all these parts ?

SWEET2KSTANG · March 20th, 2009, 02:52 PM

i just had promotion build the trans and send it to me.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 02:54 PM

Good, i'll with them ! Who much for parts and labor ?
Thanks !

SWEET2KSTANG · March 20th, 2009, 03:02 PM

you can have your trans set up however you want. prices have changed since they did mine, i dont know how much their new prices are.

97GT4.6 · March 20th, 2009, 03:39 PM

Damn, it really really makes me want my t45 to get built now.

SWEET2KSTANG · March 20th, 2009, 03:40 PM

i wish there was a way for people to drive my car to see a difference. well, i would pull off the nitrous and set a 3500 rev limiter on it first.

A Mild 5.4 with a 100-125 kit will be damn near if not at 500 FT/Lbs
And will eat trannys like you wont belive.

phoenix99 · March 20th, 2009, 07:19 PM

you think a 5.4 with cams/header/exhaust/ported intake is a mild one ?
