Most of you know I've got a cobra with the T-45. Trans is fine and doesn't have any issues. Now i have the ability to pick up (for free) a Tranzilla Tr3650 from Rockler gear. Has upgraded 2nd gear and a better synchro package. Sort of an OEM+ type build. Trans was in a vehicle for a few months until the input shaft snapped. So regardless of what choice is made, its going to need a new input shaft. I would most likely have to pay for parts and labor on the trans, unfortunately no favors owed at this time lol.  I came by the trans because my in laws own a transmission shop. A kid brought the car in for a new clutch and trans. A few months later snapped the input shaft on a brand new trans. they kept the trans incase an investigation was needed etc. Well 10 years later its sitting on the shelf still. So I've got a couple options on what to do.1. leave it and throw it away.2. Replace the input shaft and swap into the cobra. This would require a clutch, shifter and some way to rig the speedo since they are manual vs electronic, a different way of mounting since the mounts on a GT and cobra are different. 3. Replace the input shaft and trade/sell it for a profit. spend the money on something else. a 4th but not really an option at this time, take it apart. replace with carbon synchros, have all the gears and shafts cryo treated, install a 26 spline input shaft and have a 600 to 700hp capable trans. this most likely is not in the budget. I'm leaning towards selling it as it is the simplest option.</blockquote>
