    Is the Mercon V really what Ford recommends? I was replacing the bushings on my control arms and steering rack and found that the only way to move the steering rack out enough to get it off the pegs was to disconnect the lines, as the oil cooler was in the way. I reasoned to myself that...

    96 cobra T-45 service manual

    I'm in the same boat. I suspect the 2nd gear synchro ring on my 97 cobra T45 transmission may be toast. So far, the most informative stuff I've found is these notes Chris Neighbors wrote back in 2002 (attached). All paths I've found to acquire the official Tremec T45 rebuild guide have been...
