I am purchasing a t3650 to replace the t45 in my '97 cobra. The guy I am getting it off of says the flywheel is a universal pattern and out of a 01 cobra. Do we have the same crank pattern? First he said it was 6 bolt then he said universal. Are they the same thing?? Also Do the 2 trannys mount the same. am I forgetting anything I will need to complete the swap. Or is it pretty much plug and play? Oh yeah it also come with a wiring harness.

i think you may need the transmission crossmember but im not sure.
 
Can somone help me out a little. I am doing the swap in a week or so and I need what I might run into. Also need to know if the mouts are going to need to be modified. And how do I run the tach and/speedo. THANKS
 
:nice: I did that swap in my 98 GT. You can use you 10.5" clutch and your 10.5" flywheel for the swap(I did) it will work, or you can up grade to 11". Also you'll need a dallas mustang speed cal Extended range for the speedo. Do not plug in your speed sensor without it. If I remember correctly everything mounted up ok. Oh you need a drive shaft yoke frome a 2002-2004 GT. I think thats it. Good luck bud
 
I beleive a '97 CObra already has an 11" clutch. You might be able to keep your flywheel and reuse your clutch if it has the same number splines as the 3650. Unsure if it does though.
