Probably, but it might be difficult. I'm not sure if the aftermarket bellhousings that will bolt up the Tremec 3550 series transmissions will allow the T-5 to bolt up. If your only motivation for the swap is ease of finding one, or having one available, keep in mind that us 5.0 guys try to get rid of them, as they're the weak link in the drivetrain.
The 98 does, in fact use a T-45, but with aftermarket bellhousings available for the 4.6 cars, which would allow a TR-3550 series (TKO 500/600, etc) transmission to bolt up, you may also be able to bolt up a T-5. I haven't done any research to know for sure. Sorry for any confusion, as I wasn't totally clear, in my original response. The T-5 was used from 83 1/2 to 95. The T-45 succeeded it from 96-00, and the TR-3650 afterward. I wouldn't say it's any stronger, or weaker than the T-45. Probably a lot more of them available though.doesnt the 98 use a t-45?
i thought the t-5 was a stronger version of the t-45
And 99-00.yeah, so does 96&97.......
installing a T-5 in a sn95 body? is it alot of trouble or it's a direct replacement ?
doesnt the 98 use a t-45?
i thought the t-5 was a stronger version of the t-45
The only interchangable part is the shifter. Other than that they are two completely different transmissions
The t-45 is stronger rated at 330 ft-lbs.
The t-3650 is rated at 360 ft-lbs
