T3650 to T45 Swap
I currently have the Tremec 3650 transmission. I bought a built T45 that is much stronger than the T3650. I would like to install the transmission. The t45 came out of a 2000 Mustang GT.
I have heard the clutch in the 99-01.5 mustangs have 10.5" clutches.... Will my clutch work on this transmission since it is an 11" clutch?
I also heard the only other difference is the backup light plug....
Any input wanted...
Thanks

RE: T3650 to T45 Swap
Well, my t3650 has major synchronizer problems... It needs to be rebuilt, etc. I was offered a beefed up T45 so i purchased it. It was a whole lot better than the t3650 becuase it could handle more torque....and it doesn't have synchronizer problems as the t3650s are known for.

you MAY have a problem because my odometer is mechanical and attaches to the tranny. The newer mustangs have the electrical hookup. I dont know if it would be a problem on yours but you should check that out too.

yeah the t46 sucks BAD......even built i'd be careful with it......i would NEVER intentionally put one in my car.....mine is in the shop even as we speak getting a bunch of work......i was going to try to limp through until this sumer and just put a t-56 in but i don't think it would have mad it.

If you have ANY opertunity to not do this I would take it. you are NOT gonna like the results. What you are doing is kinda like trying to setup a car for drag racing and swapping the cobra IRS in to replace the 8.8
