burning smell?

97GT4.6 · February 25th, 2008, 10:42 PM

so my t45 never wants to go into reverse, and today, i was trying to back out, and it popped out like 3 times, it finally went in, and i turned and kinda heard a popping sound, and then this burning smell. I have to rev it to like 3k to get it to move, it smells like clutch but my clutch has like 1500 miles on it.

What's wrong? do you think its my tranny that smells?

thanks in advance.

i know it makes it easier if you put it into first before you put it into reverse... as for the smell, im guessing its your clutch if you were riding it hard... my buddy's spec clutch had a bad burning smell one time when he rode it to hard...

Scott looks like its really time for a new tranny. Ill keep my eyes peeled. WE could put it in, or ur could at school...

97GT4.6 · February 26th, 2008, 12:29 AM

Yea dude, i really really need a new one i think, or maybe just to rebuild the one i got now.

stanglifemike · February 26th, 2008, 12:53 AM

I agree with it being the clutch that your smelling, and that you probably need a new tranny

JStang14 · February 26th, 2008, 12:56 AM

replace the tranny soon, you're going to lose reverse all together, 5th will likely start acting up too

97GT4.6 · February 26th, 2008, 04:29 PM

Could I just rebuild it? Or do I have to get an entirely new tranny? fifth gear is already kinda hard to get it into, i used to be able to slip it into gear, and now i have to easy it in, and it goes in fine if its eased.

What about a kit like this? eBay Motors: Borg Warner T45 Transmission Rebuild Kit T-45 Mustang (item 260214063595 end time Mar-02-08 16:12:44 PST)

MustangMatt96GT · February 26th, 2008, 05:23 PM

iknow shit about trannies. ask ur teacher if he will help you rebuild it...

97GT4.6 · February 26th, 2008, 05:27 PM

yeah , i think this summer, i might pay him to help me rebuild it , ill ask the instructor whose the ford tech.

Rebuilding a tranny is definately a job for a pro. I say scrap it and get a world class t5z.

JStang14 · February 26th, 2008, 09:44 PM

the rebuild you need wouldnt be that hard, its either synchros or shift forks, should cost about 200 if you do it yourself

97GT4.6 · February 26th, 2008, 10:49 PM

alright thanks.. .how much do you think would it cost if i took it to a shop (just curious)?

JStang14 · February 27th, 2008, 02:00 AM

prob at least another 500

98gt760 · February 27th, 2008, 02:08 AM

97GT4.6 · February 27th, 2008, 06:37 PM
