Excellent write up. im a little confused though. in your original post you say to swap the tailshaft. Are you refering to the actual tailshaft/output shaft or the tailshaft housing? So to recap... if Im putting a tremec t-45 (99-04) into a 97 GT then i would need to remove the tailshaft housings on both trans, swap the metal ring off the tremec for the plastic ring off the borg warner t-45 (96-98), and then put the borg warner (96-98 non-cobra) tailshaft housing on the tremec (99-04)? End result would be tremec trans with the plastic ring from borg warner and tailshaft housing from borg warner. Am I on the right path or am I way off?

By tailshaft, I'm referring to the tailshaft housing. Other then that, seems like you're on the right path...

Ok so if I was to use a t-45 out of a 97 cobra, which has different crossmember mounting hole locations, I would put my tailshaft housing on it and that would fix both problems. Or do you know of other differences between the cobra and GT t-45s?

The only differences I know of the Cobra and GTs (96-98) are the tail shaft housing--due to different hole locations.

If you put on that 97 cobra tranny with your tail shaft housing, that will fix the issue of the hole locations (you'll not need that crossmember of the cobra).

I'm not 100% sure of the reluctor ring though. It may have the plastic ring. To find out, you could tell by the sensor it has on and by the way it is mounted. If its straight on the side, it has the metal reluctor ring. If its on the side slightly in a angle, then it has a plastic ring.

i have been getting conflicting fixes for my car. i have the exact opposite issue with my 98. i just got the car that was originally an automatic that was converted to 5-speed using a tranny out of an 03 gt.

cincy speed shop claims for $375 they can tune the car which has mass tranny codes with no working odometer or speedometer.

is there an easier fix other than swapping my tranny for to correct year and flashing the ecu? any thoughts?
