Wade,

You are right. Thanks pointing it oiut. It is in fact a T45.

Here is an overview description: The transmission is the Borg-Warner T45. The gears are taller and wider than the T5 and incorporate revised gear tooth geometry, all of which provide a stronger gearset and reduce gear whine. First and second gears have large double-cone synchros to smooth engagement and increase durability. The reverse gear is removed from the movement of the geartrain when forward gears are engaged, further reducing noise and wear. The T5's extensive use of needle and roller bearings is continued in the T45, ensuring quiet and smooth operation. The clutch housing is integrated into the transmission assembly, providing a stiffer engine/transmission package and reducing powertrain noise and vibration.
