Aight. so my tranny blew, and i got my new trans ready to go. But i got sneaking suspition that it might not have been tranny all along...

So i took blown T-45 out, and after i got it out and messing with it, i realize that it shift through gears like way it should. 1st ~ 5th, and reverse with no issue.

It didn't do that when it was on the car. Now if i have bent fork, even if its not in the car, it shouldn't do that isn't it?

Sorry man, that sucks. Lesson learned, break it down before you buy the parts.

Lesson learned. StangNet buddies CAN help ya!

My suspicion was not your tranny after you said you could still row through gears when the car was turned off.
