M46 Ttransmission difference

[Boris Mohar]

Hello,

Are the transmissions for M46 turbo different from non turbo? I realize
that earlier M46 had a cast iron housing which was supposedly stronger but
I would also like to discern if there any other variants.

There are lots of minor detail differences, but nothing major. The
biggest difference occurred in 1990 when the turbos got a transmission
with a "higher" first gear. Also the overdrive originally had higher
operating pressure on the turbos, then a new larger type was substituted
that had a higher torque capacity (also in 1990??).

I am looking for a used one until I solve how to adapt a T5 from a
mustang.

Hey Boris, down below is a cut and paste of an email I got from John a while
back, he made up some adapters for just that project. I was going to do it
and put my name on the "interested" list but decided to stay with a slushbox
instead. You might give him a quick email and see what's involved.

In repsonse to requests made earlier this year we now have adapter plates in
stock to adapt the ' 93 and earlier Ford V8 version of the Borg Warner T5
transmission to replace the M40/41 and M45/46. If you are replacing an
M45/46 we will need to machine your bell housing.

The adapter plates for the M40/41 bell housing are $160. For the M45/46 the
price is $250 including the modification of your bell housing. Photos of the
adapter plates are now on our website in the Products/Conversions section.

We also offer a complete line of performance clutch covers and discs for
these applications. Naturally, these will work both with the stock flywheel
and our aluminum flywheels.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
