    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I got the car back. It definately shifts better. There isn't the notchiness like there was before. I find the shifting is a little stiffer, but this is not a concern. I'd bet the slight stiffness will eventually go away after I put some miles on the rebuilt transmission. To me it shifts a little...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    My service advisor called me today, and after about 1 1/2 days, the transmission in my car has been fixed. When I took the car in to have the transmission fixed, I also complained about the rear suspension sqeaking. They are still looking into that. They said they couldn't duplicate it. I...

    Mine finally went in today. They gave me a 2005 Ford Escape for a loaner.

    I would ask them to check it for wear and if it would be recommended to change it. I doubt if it would be covered under warranty though.

    Mine is going in on Monday the 16th. I hope I have the same results as you. I'll be glad when it's finally fixed. We sure waited a long time.

    I just got a call from my dealer that the TSB is out!!! :banana: It's about time! I'm glad my warranty is still good! The dealer is going to order the parts and will call me when they are ready for me to bring in the car. I will post again with the results of the fix.

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I got the same info from my service rep today. I told him that either I need to know there IS a TSB coming out soon or they will fix it with the parts that are currently out and that I would take my chances on doing it that way. He said that there is a preliminary package right now and the TSB...

    If they aren't Ford parts, why is it that I can look up those parts at fordparts.com? I told my service manager about them and they were able to look up the parts in their system. Your dealer is full of it.

    Finally figured out how to shift

    Double clutching is when you shift from 1st to 2nd, you use the clutch twice to go into the next gear, like this: push in clutch and pull the shifter from 1st to neutral, release clutch, then push clutch in and shift to 2nd and release clutch. I've heard the old old cars had to be shifted that...

    jrc_03_gt, I would take the car back and tell them that it still shifts bad. I would. If I wasn't sastisfied, I'd take it right back and ask that they fix it again. It sounds like to me, they didn't do something right or install all of the newer parts that are out. My service manager said...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    <p>How do you KNOW this? Maybe you didn't get all the parts that would have fixed it. Did you compare the parts &quot;motley&quot; had replaced to what you had replaced? I've seen a few people lately that are very happy with their transmission after it's been repaired. Quit being so...

    02 Gt Fog Light??

    I just installed the fog lights, and they are so much whiter and brighter! Super White High-intensity Xenon White X-bulbs should be installed from the factory to begin with! They are very cool looking and put the factory bulbs to shame. Instead of getting the Sylvania Silverstars, I am buying...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    If it was me, I would take the car to the dealer NOW, tell them about the problem and that there is parts out to fix it. I would tell them that this car will sit here until it's fixed and to give me a loaner. That's what I'd do... My service manager said that once the warranty expires, it...

    02 Gt Fog Light??

    Mine just went out too on my 2002 GT on the passenger side. You would think they would last longer than that. I'm buying these as a replacement. :) http://www.jcwhitney.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10101&storeId=10101&langId=-1&productId=286300&mediaCode=ZX&appId=566879...

    That's why I'm waiting. Did you ask them if the TSB was out yet?

    No Oil Pressure On Cold Start???? Knock Knock Knock Knock!! Help

    So replacing the filter fixes it for a while and then it does it again? How many miles in between oil/filter changes?

    No Oil Pressure On Cold Start???? Knock Knock Knock Knock!! Help

    If it knocks, it isn't getting oil. It wouldn't be the oil pressure sending unit. From what I've read here, it's acting normal! No oil pressure = no reading on the gauge = no oil getting to vital parts in the engine = you will eventually ruin this engine if you keep driving it. Take it in to a...

    Didn't you tell them about the new parts? If I was you, I wouldn't have accepted a transmission change because all that is, is changing one faulty product for another. Tell them about the new parts. Give them the part numbers. Print off some of the posts here. My service manager didn't even...
