Check out the profile comparison of Keisler T45RS v. Muncie:
- Notice the Muncie is actually taller than T45RS at the case/extension joint
- Originally designed and made in Muncie, IN. The Muncie (est. 1929) and Warner gear (est. 1919) plants were just 3 miles apart!
- Fully synchronized including reverse, Muncie has no reverse synchronization.
- Same weight as Tremec TKO
- Low profile main case design fits many cars as well as Muncie, IN THAT AREA. Fits better than TKO IN THAT AREA ONLY.
- Not as broad as TKO due to single rail shift design but still broader than the Muncie.
- Much larger gears than the T5 equalling much greater strength. DO NOT CONFUSE T45RS WITH T5, THEY ARE GREATLY DIFFERENT.
- T45RS shares the same synchro parts as its big brother T56 6 speed for superior shift quality.
The Keisler T45RS has proven to be a robust and reliable 5 speed overdrive transmission. It is an excellent lower cost option to the TKO for those who do not require the TKOs strength or are working on a lower budget.
