Sicne you have a 4.6, you can use either the T45 or the T3650 but guys tend to favor the T45 because they are a little stronger, however to answer your question, 96-04 5 speeds should fit.

thanks for the info , do you think the transmission mounts from a 98 mustang will fit from a 99-04

 

[Michael B]

did you lose all gears or just one gear?

 

[dave773]

All of them mikey , won't come out of a gear and wont go In any , when you let the clutch out just grinds and make a bunch of noise

You need a T-45 from a '96, 97 or 98 GT for your '98 GT. The T-45 from a 96-98 Cobra could be made to fit, but the crossmember mount is farther back to clear different catalytic converters from the factory. Also, the cobra t-45 has a 7 tooth drive gear for the speedometer, the GT trans has an 8 tooth drive gear.

The TR3650 (mid 01-04) doesn't have the gear to drive the speedometer speed sensor. Also, the TR3650 has a 31 spline output shaft. I believe the T-45 has a 28 spline output.

I recommend finding a place that rebuilds them and ships them out. Apparently, the average transmission shop doesn't know much about these/ can't remember. There is a place in Florida that are gods on these but I can't remember the place. I'll work on it.

Also, could just be a shift fork in the transmission itself. Won't know till it's all apart but might only be a $100 fix if you do the work. Wish I did when mine went...

I messed up my t45 a couple years ago, was stuck in first gear, had to drive home doing like 5mph sux.. me and my father rebuilt it got some beefy shift forks cut out from the water jet bulletproof now!!
