    Transmission opinion

    Personally speaking the 3650 is alright...it is one of the most stubborn transmissions I've ever used. In the Texas heat during the summer it shifts pretty good, in the winter like now, it grinds going into second and sometimes third. It has never been to the track either. There is a whole...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I got the same treatment...it was "normal gear clash" and "did not affect the performance or longevity of the vehicle" I agree with the others...sure sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen :shrug:

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I've already gone that route myself, I sent a complaint letter in and received a response from Ford Customer Viewpoint basically stating that they apologize for the inconvience and that there are no known issues or TSBs scheduled to their knowledge. Their only recommendation was to go in for a...

    Does and 03 GT have a clutch cable?

    Its definately a cable clutch, under the car you can see where it goes into the transmission. There is also an access door on the tranny where you can access the other end of the cable. I'm not sure how lifting it is supposed to adjust anything. I have 20,000+ on my GT and the adjustment...

    Has anyone else recevied this letter from Ford? Hey All--- In this weeks mail I received a letter from Ford Customer Viewpoint regarding my well worded letter concerning quality and reliability issues with the TR-3650 tranny. Has anyone else done this or received a response from their...

    Is this normal?

    Not really the wheel hop, I mean the transmission shaking the shifter pretty roughly when I lost traction. I did it on purpose again, same thing....seems like the tranny shakes pretty violently.

    Is this normal?

    Hey All---- Got a question for you, this is the first time I noticed this. On a wet road today I lost traction going around a corner and when I did so the gear shift (5 speed) was moving pretty good (shaking back and forth) when the car was shuddering to gain traction. Is that normal? It...

    Tremec 3650 3-4 shift

    Wow...never had that problem, 3 to 4 and 4 to 5 have always been very smooth for me. I'd much rather have your problem than the clunky 1 to 2 shift everyone else seems to have with the 3650. I'm curious as to what it would be, I doubt it was the shift fork or synchros because if they were it...

    Clutch Slipping at 20,500 miles...WTF?

    Hey All, I need some advice, this morning I was shifting into first to take off and the clutch seemed to slip and catch on its own after about 5-7 seconds while in motion. The engine was warm from previous drives so I don't think cold weather or anything caused it. Should I get this looked...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    ZKiller--- Mine did the same thing shorty after driving it off the lot....it would refuse to go into third. After a double clutch it would, it still occasionally refuses to go into third. With the colder weather here in Texas its back to grinding 1 to 2. Hopefully the TSB info is correct...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I was on my way to the FORD house today to order some floormats and asked the service adviser about it anyways (the part numbers listed above). They told me they could order the parts and install them but without a recall it wouldn't be considered a warranty issue and I would have to pay for...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Hey All--- I'd be a bit weary myself changing the tranny fluid from 3.8 to 3.2 without something in writing to cover my arse. Has anyone received anything in writing on this? I mean should something happen down the road on the tranny and FORD declines the warranty because of low fluid then...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    2003 Mustang GT, has had the problem since day one. It was orginally purchased in November here in TX. In cold weather it was a bear to get it into second with out grinding. Shifting second to third would also produce a grind but much much less. Changing fluids from stock to Redline did...
