I've been looking into late 90s cobras... I know they come with the T-45 tranny and Ive heard bad things about it. Is it something I need to look into as a factor to not buy one? Anything else I should be looking for in that style of mustang that will bring some concerns?

Thanks

 

1996-1997 had Borg-warner T-45 98's had Tremec T-45 tremec i guess is s'posed to be better and the 98 is missing the clock on the dash but has the sweet wheel stock

 

in the t-45's just watch 3rd gear for some reason 3rd seems to be the problem gear, if its hard to get into 3rd then its a good chance the transmissions due for a rebuild soon

 

Heard short throw shifters fix the problem.

 

I only have problems with rev and sometimes first.

 

t-45 is ****, that would be the first thing i would upgrade on those cars. atleast go to a T-5/ 3650

 

My 98 grinds a little on a high rpm shift from 1-2 and pops out of 4th some. I would definitely buy a 96-97 over a 98. the 96-97 has full leather rear seats, stock strut tower brace, clock pod on dash, better carpet, and a few other things. I think they have different fuel systems too, but not sure. The PAT's system is different but that doesn't make any difference. the 98 do have cooler wheels, but most of the 96-98 cobras i've seen have the different than stock wheels anyway. I wish i had the stock 98 wheels.

 

Just but a 03/04 Cobra and you'll have a T-56 6 speed! + a little more power!

 

Yea and it will cost an extra 10 grand lol.

 

It will be the BEST 10k you ever spent! ...you can find the 03/04's under 20k if you around!
