Cobra/GT T45 info?

I can use a 98 Cobra T45 in my 96 GT, correct? What all do I need to change, if anything?

Im using a 98 gt t-45 in my 96 cobra if that helps at all

You will have to replace the speedo ring in the tranny in order for it work right I believe. SVOPaul and Boosted23L did my swap and know the details.

Isn't the cross member different?

Scothew · 05-05-2005, 12:19 PM

Its different but I believe it will still bolt up.

yeah i have heard the crossmembers are different as well. Believe the one in the cobra sets back an inch farther.

The crossmembers are different, hence the different sets of subframe connectors from the GT to the Cobra. But I think thats because of the tailhousings being longer in the Cobra.

I am trying to figure out why the tail housings would be different

I am sure that Darren could swap the tail housings if that is the case.
