I'm just starting research on repairing/rebuilding my t-45. *I have a 2000 mustang gt with a vortech V1 at 9 psi. *360whp, 380tq.

I have 2 t-45s
1st one Shifts, not smooth, very hard to go into reverse, pops out. *(currently In car)
2nd one Hard to shift 2-3-4... Pops out of 3-4. * Got stuck in 4th.

I wanting info on parts for a rebuild, with some goodies to make my T45 shift smooth, and handle additional power later down the road. *I have plans to intercool, change pulley, and add power pipe... Goal 450whp...

I have a trans builder?? But he's not a speciality t45 builder??I'm going with a 26 spline input shaft


So I have decided to ship mine off for repair/rebuild. Now where to ship??

I like keisler because they actualy made a blowproof bellhousing for there built t45s.

Errr,,been shopping the 26 spline input shaft upgrade.......back to saving more 💰💰💰
Got quotes from Keisler, and the T45 source..leaning toward THE SOURCE. Stilll waiting to hear from PROMOTION, HANLON. So far the t45 S/S with 26 spline...

From what I can tell the Kessler is just a remanufactered T45 with their bearing plate, and bolt on bell housing. I do like the $300/credit for my t45s..shipping 2 gearboxes is going to suck..

You won't hear from hanlon, I sent them two emails and nada.

I hav3 a spare 3650 that im wanting to beef up. One of you guys plz inform me and share the quotes for the upgrades and all that. Im going to upgrade to the 26 spline but idk who to go to or what to replace on my tranny.

Haven't really looked at beefing up a 3650. The 26 spline input is approx $400, rebuild kit upgrade internals $1000-????? I'm looking at approx $2000 done..

Hell for that money look at a TKO500! I don't know about fitment, it's worth a look.

timritchieblue

TKO 500/600 cost $2400 +, and their very notchy..not smooth by any means. Plus you get to buy new clutch, driveshaft, bellhousing.

I think if I upgrade the forks, and shaft, I should be fine..

Seabee1993

Well, if that's what you have your heart set on for that amount of money. So be it, the Source quote I got for mine was no where near 2k, unless you're including shipping as well.
I would change the clutch anyway if I went to all the trouble of pulling the trans out. That way I would have the piece of mind that everything was new when I stabbed the trans back in.
