Modular V8 Manual transmissions. . . - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

Howdy everyone. What transmissions will bolt up to a modular V8? My AODE in my 92 Crown Vic is about to crap out, I want something a little more heavy duty than a T45 (like the mustangs have), but I still want it to be a stock ford transmission that I can get parts for at my dealer.

And before you guys start trying to tell me a 92 has a 5.0, let me assure you it is a 4.6. If you don't belive me I have pics to prove it

The t-45 isnt that bad of a transmission. You can go aftermarket with a tremec, they sell their own bells to fit modulars, or the 03-04 cobra T-56. The T-45 in 305hp 99-01 cobras and 260hp GTs not enough?

It's not the horsepower I am woried about, I don't think a T45 would stand up in a car that weighs as much as a Crown Vic (remember the Crown Vic is still build on a conventional frame). I just want something a little beefier.

Perhaps I was a little obtuse in my question, it is rather simple, please allow me to rephrase:

What are the model names of the Manual transmissions that come behind a Triton V8.

mazda m50dr2 and the zf 650 is rated to 26000#.

put a stang tranny in. that vic aint is heavy as you think.

Did you want an auto or manual? The Mustangs use a T45 and a 4R70W auto. The AODE has its problems so why not upgrade it to the 4R70W out of a newer F-150?

As I understand it the computer won't allow interchanging the Autos. That is just somthing I have read, don't know weather it is true or not.

But slush boxes suck, I need a stick
