Well here it is again my 96 Cobra trans is makin fu*ked up noises again. This will be the 4th tranny i am about to drop in it in 7 monthes!!! What is up with this? These T45s just suck ass or what? well im tired of this crap and am lookin for a real tranny that can take me smacking the **** outta gears. Actually I am thinkin of goin auto, A C4 is what i had in mind but what would i need to do to get a C4 in my car. A new bellhousing and such i suppose. Can someone give me a little help here?

If you need a stronger trans just drop a tko or t56 in it. I sure as hell would not put a C4 in there unless its a pure drag car. No overdrive with 4.10s, get ready for less than 10mpg.

Yea i am aware of the no overdrive but that doesn;t matter the car isn't a daily driver to me to begin with. By time i would have the C4 in it It would also have a lot more goodies.......
How do the tkos hold up? Anyone wanna share their thoughts?

Tkos are pretty much the strongest 5 speed transmission made. There are plenty of people who have them in 10sec and even 9 sec mustangs.

That's right, also you can get the TKO in different gear ratios.

Pull the trans and try to identify which gear you just blew. You running on slicks?

T45's are NOT meant to take a lot of abuse. The survival stories about people running them on sticky tires and powershifting at redline are the exception, not the norm.

You've broken the trans 7 times in 4 months and not thought about buying a stronger one?

no i blew the trans 4 times in 7 monthes and am just now thinking of buying another one. It is warrantied so i keep gettin free trannys but no more of this free **** they be givin, besides i pulled it apart and it was just the clutch disc that had pretty much exploded so i have some time now to save for a new tranny. I already ordered a aluminium Flywheel and king cobra clutch....

That ticking noise you hear is not the tranny, it is your trow out bearing. It will only make the noise with your foot off the clutch but not while it is pushed down. Mine does that too, not a big, big deal but should be fixed if you can

www.x2cmotorsports.com They have built TKO's and will even build to your liking or specifications. They're reputation is excellent and they use their own transmissions in their drag cars. Don't think they're expensive either.
