T45 or 4r70w???

the real shocker · October 10th, 2007, 07:03 PM

Im in a bind between getting a T45 or a 4r70w to replace my 3650....

Im trying to figure which would be the cheaper route to go:

For the T45 I have been told it will bolt up fine, but I will need either a spacer for my driveshaft, or a driveshaft from a 99-00 car. I will also need a new shifter and clutch? Anything else? The one I have my eye on is coming from a fresh rebuild with new synchros, clutch forks, etc.... The guy selling wants $600 for it

The 4r70w is gonna be a little more tricky. The price isnt but $275, but it has 130K miles on it, but still drives fine. I would want to get the internals rebuilt, what all would that consist of? Also, I realize I would have to have a wiring harness, and a shifter, a new converter... and if i got the auto, I would probably go ahead and get a line lock. What else?

Also, would the auto be okay with my Mac Longtubes? I vaguely remember someone saying some long tubes dont fit with automatics, but cant remember which ones...

For the price differences up front, I just want to know which is going to cost me more in the long run. I would enjoy either... so im not biased toward either

Thanks,
Cody

i figured right now it would cost me just as much to buy synchros and clutch forks as it would this whole rebuilt transmission.... and while this t45 is in i am probably going to build up my 3650

yeah whatever you want to do man...let me know...but autos are more consistent at the track and racing...standards are fun for roads and stuff like that..
