you'll be fine with driving like that. Your gas mileage will suffer greatly from it but if thats what it takes then go for it. But 2500 for a rebuilt tranny is outrageous. You can get a new promotion t45 good for 750+hp for 1500 and a tranny swap is not hard at all. So the labor is outrageous too. So I would look elsewhere other than that shop...

The mid 01-04 transmissions need an 11" clutch versus the pre-01's need a 10.5" clutch. But the tranny out of a 96-98 car will work cus its the same tranny.

Check this link out. T-45s are Borg Warners, but the 96-98 Cobra T-45 has an 8 tooth speedo gear and the 96-98 GT has a 7 tooth gear. Plus the tranny mount point is different. Hope this helps you out.
well it all depends on what gear ratio the 96-98 rears had. Some had 2.73's and some had 3.27's. So thats probably the reason for the different toothed speedo gears.
