people who had bent shiftfrok on T-45 chim in!

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.

well, yeah that should have been good crew. And when i took off the service ipening cover, crop load of segment of clutch fell out. that should have been second crew...

Huh.. can't you send the tranny back? If not, put it in the classifieds or ebay it!
