You can use some kind of mini- starter, not sure which one or anything, but I know a guy that put a T45 in a 88 coupe that was an auto.

it might be a great deal, but from what i've gathered the t45 is just as much crap as the t5.

for all the trouble it would take to make that tranny fit your motor, you might as well have bought a 3550 or swapped the 4.6 into your car

(there's k-members out there for just that swap in case you're interested)
