Didn't need an upgrade to handle it. Will it blow up? Probably but it has almost a 150k on it so its not like id be dissapointed.

You are a ****ing tool if you are doing 4th gear burnouts. I really hope that your clutch explodes and comes through your bellhousing, into the car and severs your feet.

Oh, and you're a liar btw.

Rip up the burnout box at every Quaker steak and lube cruise meet. But yes I have shifted to 4th gear burnouts you make it sound like its hard to do, now I'm not claiming I do 4th gear burnouts all the time just that I have done them before and I don't care what kind of stock trans it is because I realize it won't hold up long to that kind of abuse. But I have done quite a few 2nd and 3rd gearers. I fail to see why I am a tool. One its a burnout box are a car event and I drive respectable on the road and don't do burnouts/clutch drops/ or even street race. But if doing a large burnout in a box makes me a tool then I guess I'm a 30mm snap on box wrench. All I am trying to say is that I have put a good beating on my t45 and its still limping its way along I'm in no means saying that the tranny is meant to handle this kind of abuse or that its indestructable and when it kicks the bucket I won't be putting another one in so I don't know why you are getting you're underwear in a wad over it.

I agree about the t45. Stock, they are pretty much junk and need serious work to handle good power.

Getting back to tech related. There isn't really much you can do to beef of a t45. Obviously its not the best trans and some people get lucky with it and some don't. But as far as beefing it up there isn't much you can do besides change the input shaft, change the t-45/t-56 interchangeable parts such as the blocks, forks, etc and thats about it. They do not make aftermarket gear sets for them as far as my knowledge goes.

i agree t45s are not the best..i hav a 97 GT as my daily driver and a 96 Blown Cobra for fun and i have problems with both trannys. Am I a bad driver? i dont think so although the GT tranny being shot is my fault. lol stupidy somtimes takes over to impress the ladies. I just ended up driving away with a broken trans haha
