what the eff are you talking about, the 45 has a higher torque rating than the 40, the 40 was for the 4 cylinders the 45 was for the v6. meaning the 45 is capable of higher torque.....these trannys cant handle 325 torque stock... i dont know wtf your talking about

the 4T45E has pulse width modulated torque converter locking where the 40's were a solenoid actuated on/off setup.

According to the Hayes SM, the 40 has 200 lb ft of torque and the 45 has 215 lb ft rating

*shrug*

Why Adam Hahn can run 10.58 @ 139MPH with a stock F23 (clutch/flywheel changed, otherwise stock) that also has a torque rating of only around 145 lb-ft is beyond me. Or Acer's 12 second stock 4T40E car.

I'll keep enjoying my 193,000 mile solid shifting tuned 4T40E. Sorry, it just tends to be stronger than the 4T45E, regardless of what Haynes says, more failures and slippage occur with the 4T45E as far as I can tell.

I have 197,369 miles on mine and ive had no problems.My car even towed a small uhall trailer full of furniture from NC to MA two times and its still solid

being an owner of a V6 alero with the 4T45E and having family members and friends who have cars with the 4T40E, i am FAR more impressed with the 4T40E. I hate my transmission. its slipped and done dumb shit from day one. on the other hand, i have a friend with a grand am, nearly 200,000 miles and he beats on it everyday with offroading, jumping ice piles, etc. and he can't kill it. i don't know whats so different but somethings there that makes it feel like a more solid tranny than the supposibly "heavier duty" big brother.

k i guess the 4t40e tranny is the best tranny to walk the earth then. have fun

by no means is it the best tranny.... i'm just saying that as far as whats available for the N-Body platform, its the next best thing to the manual 5 speed. from observation, they drive nicer, shift better, and seem to last longer by seeing real-world odometers with extremely high figures.

[kwhauck]

i choose 5 speed.......
