Exclamation 1998 Mustang Cobra transmission? T45 or borg warner?

I'm looking at a 1998 Cobra that was built in 12/97. It has 34,500 miles on it. How do I know what transmission does this car have in it? Was anything changed or decontented during this year (1998)? Anything I should look for when I go up there to look at it?

TIA!

And the T-45 is better than the Borg Warner, correct?

Borg warner use to make certain tranny's for them like the T-5 and T-56's but as of 98 Tremec makes the tranny's. Your T-45 is a Tremec.

I believe there were some minor engine parts updated. The biggest change between 98 and the 96-97 was they stopped putting strut tower braces on in the engine compartment.

99 has the same..5 spd Tremec, all Cobras do except Terminator...I feel that 98 is way overpriced at $15,000. a quick scan of Ebay shows many great Terminator Cobras and low milage upgraded cars for vis a vis the same price...I'd personally look for one someone has added upgrades to since as soon as you get a stock car you will spend a small fortune modifying it.
