scott sharp Posted May 15, 2009 Author Share Posted May 15, 2009 I finally got some time to work on my car again. I spent the day building a stand to fire my motor on and hope to start it up this weekend. I will get some pics. and possibly some vid. and post it next week. The motor is looking awsome.

JMortensen Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Have you gotten your transmission yet? I emailed Keisler Automotive and they gave me a quote for everything, trans, bell housing, clutch, pp, flywheel, hydraulics the whole thing, and it ended up just over $3K. Curious to see how yours comes out and if it all bolts up like they say. I did some research and wasn't able to find anyone else using the t45. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places...

cockerstar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 t45? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 It's a 5 speed with T56 parts, comes from late model Mustangs. I had never heard of it until I PM'd Scott. Keisler Automotive upgrades the boxes and makes custom bellhousings. http://www.keislerauto.com/index.php?/mopar/mopar-bare-transmissions/5-speed-manual.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cockerstar Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Definitely learned something new today! Any advantages over a t56? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott sharp Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 no I don't know anyone else selling these transmissions. You can use the old muncie belhousing as long as it is the big one. they can also be retrofitted for a hydrolics. I think if you look around you can save some money on a clutch and pplate. I think there are some choices for a flywheel to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott sharp Posted May 19, 2009 Author Share Posted May 19, 2009 NOOK&TRANNY have the flywheel then all you need is a ford disk(31 spline) and I think any chev pressure plate for a four speed will work. should be able to nget a good pplate and disk for $200.00 The fly wheel is about $400.00 Belhousing if you can't find one is $300.00 tranney is $1700.00 if you go with the big one and hydrolics are $100.00 or better. so about 2700.00 I guess that if you can get it all from kisler for under 3000.00 than its probibly the best then if you have any problems than they should be able to help. what did you think of their warranty pretty good aye.

JMortensen Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Yeah, warranty is not bad at all. The only hangup I have is I'm not really happy with the wide gear spacing. I'd prefer 5th to be in the .85 range or so. Still looks like it's a lot stronger than a T5 and it is lighter and smaller than a T56.

scott sharp Posted June 13, 2009 Author Share Posted June 13, 2009 slight change in plans on the tranney. I ordered a used t56 from a 2004 GTO with 23000 km on it it comes with flywheel clutch pressureplate hydrolics shifter and all the boults for 1600.00 so I coulden't pass it up. built an engine cover this week. started by covering the motor with plastic then with masking tape 2" and then fiberglassed the top half of the entire engine and then moulded it in up to the breather. looks pretty cool so now I have an engine cover and a base for a breather. I used a AC cobra style breather because it was the largest i could find. Hope it all fits under the hood but if it don't I guess its time for a custom hood and I love CUSTOM.
