tremec t45fitment

[4vRedone]

Will the tremec t45 fit fine in my 98 without any modification or what do I gotta do to make it work

 

[encasedmetal]

a t45 is what you should have had from the factory. so you'll be fine

Cobra t45's have different rear mount position compared to gt ones. The tail housing is different.

Ok so what do i need to do to change it over? I just want to know if there is a difference from the bog warner t45 and the tremec ones.

? Help

I know the T45 and Tremec 3550 and TKO have different tail shafts housings.

But I thought the B&W T45 and Tremec T45 were the same.

Tremec bought B&W somewhere around 98 IIRC but I thought that other than the name the T45 remained the same.

When I replaced my transmission I ended up getting one from a gt. All that was need was to swap my old housing to the new one. Just a few bolts and some silicone, be careful when pulling it apart/putting together, there is a small spring and ball in the shifter assembly That was my biggest PITA during the entire trans swap.

Ok so the last part of the trans need to be swapped? Otherthen that everything is the same

tremec owns bog warner so its the same trans if its from a cobra

 

[4vRedone]

Ok same goea for the gt to?

 

[4vRedone]

Cause mine is from a gt so it'll only fit other gts?

the borg warner T45 is roughly 2" to 3" shorter than the Tremec version. gt, cobra or not. (vice versa) none the less you will have to move your mount and redrill into the subframe location.

just swap tailshaft housings. easy peasy. i pulled a borg warner tranny out of my car and installed a tremec. exact fit after the TS housing swap. same exact dimensions.

GT T45

cobra T45

pin that needs to be removed

google it, there is a how to with pictures that shows you exactly what to do. it should take less than an hr with several beer/pee breaks.

I got a gt trans also. Worked fine but be careful with all the shifter pieces they can be super tedious and hard to figure out at first

This helped me along the way
96-98 T-45 tailshaft swap

And another thing when you get to the ball/spring under the shifter I put it all on with a cut up soda can under it so I just slid it out like paper when I had it all together. Thinking of the idea took longer than actually doing it and if you're confused about this you'll know what I'm talking about when the time comes

If the tranny is out of a new edge gt (99-01) itll have a different speedo gear setup and you'll need a Speedcal for the speedo to work.

 

[4vRedone]

I cant just swap tje speedo gear out

 

[Wynn]

You have to swap the gear inside the tranny, not the plastic one you remove with the harness. If you have the tailhousing off anyway i dont think its a big deal. Again, thats only to put a new edge tranny in a 96/97/98 car.

Ok thanks for the help ill be doing this swap soon seems easy enough hopefully i dont run into any problems.
Does the tremec trans have any advantages over the borg warner trans?
