I haven't had my 00 gt 3 weeks and the tranny already went out. only 54,000 on the clock. I have it in the shop being swapped with a t56 6 speed tranny, new cobra clutch and lightwieght fly wheel and 3.73 gears should be ready by wensday. tranny went out tuesday. it's not gonna be cheap either. glad i got a new job in the oilfiled making $1500 a week after taxes and i only work 2 weeks a month. |

That sucks that your trans went out only 3 weeks after you bought your car.
The T-45 isn't known for their great strength, the 3560 that was put in the mustang midway through 2001 is better. It looks like your getting some pretty nice parts for your car. |

That sucks the tranny went out.........whoever had the car before you didn't take good care of it. I have some problems with mine, minor, but i'm trying to tune it up the best i can and mod it up for better performance with a longer life for the engine. If i had the money i would've done the samething! Sounds like you're going to have a great engine! Goodluck! |

it a lot of manual labor when tripping pipe in or out the hole but when were slow drilling it's pushing a scrub brush and a pressure washer your on your feet in steel toe boots and a hard hat for 12 hour a day 7 days a week and then i have 7 days off to just do anything i want. |

nearly all of the time the tranny goes out due to abuse~ so dont blame ford for it (even though they are known to screw up quite a bit of crap) I like my 6 speed but... it left some to be desired IMO.
