5-Speed Manual Transmission

The Zumbrota Drivetrain FM145 manual transmission is a remanufactured unit specifically built for the 1996-1998 Ford Mustang Cobra models equipped with the 4.6L V8 engine and a 5-speed gearbox. This transmission is remanufactured to stringent quality standards, incorporating a comprehensive three-step inspection process. This includes a pre-inspection to identify and address potential core issues like case cracks or excessive wear, a mid-process inspection to verify all component parts meet OEM specifications, and a final post-build inspection to guarantee adherence to Zumbrota's strict standards. Every internal part is meticulously checked, with specific attention paid to gear wear, mainshaft straightness, and synchronizer functionality. Furthermore, each FM145 transmission is subjected to a dyno-test to confirm its performance in various real-life operational scenarios. Technical notes indicate features such as an all-aluminum construction, an integrated bell housing, a side-pointing oil drain plug, a gear-driven speed sensor with a red 7-tooth drive gear, and a cross-member mount located behind the speedometer hole. It is compatible with several Ford tag numbers including F6XR-CC, F6ZR-CC, F7ZR-BA, F8ZZ-BA, and Hollander number 400-02870.
