    Is the Plenum install pretty straight forward?

    I thought C & L recommended a 75mm TB with their plenum. :shrug:

    Is the Plenum install pretty straight forward?

    On my last car, whenever I messed with the TPS I had to reset it (there was an adjustment range.) Is this not the case with the SOHC Modular V8s? I'm assuming there is no adjustment and it simly bolts right on in the same position (the only position possible.) Can you verify this for me? If...

    Driveshaft safety loop. Yes or no?

    I bolted mine in myself. It isn't hard, just time-consuming if you do it slow and methodically like I did. Just make sure you don't make the mistake I made of not pulling back the carpet before drilling! There are 2 wiring harnesses that run under the carpet where the holes are drilled for...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Just FYI, this is a very odd place to post your problem. This is a thread on problems with the tremec 3650 tranny, which you don't have. And your problem is nothing like the problem experienced by the people in this post - now on to your problem: It sounds like you might have a a bad tranny...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Did you read Ford's press release on the new 2005 mustang (located here on Stangnet)? Did you see there comments on how they have improved the shift action on the 3650 for the 2005 cars? Nice. Thanks for helping out the rest of us who bought the "old" mustang with the notchy 3650. We are...

    Guys with 4.10's

    I totally agree. It's not like it whines like a turbocharger as I ramp up the rpms. It's only a slight moaning (very much like road noise) that occurs in "throttle purgatory." :) My installer told me I didn't need to do any special break-in and did not recommend changing the fluid after XXX...

    Guys with 4.10's

    I paid a local installer $300 in labor to put in my FMS 4.10 ing and pinion gear this past May 2003. I hated all the driveline slop my car had with the stock set-up from the factory, so I told the installer to "set the backlash as tight as you can set it without getting gear noise." He set it...

    You're going to have to give us an update on your 3rd new tranny. I am very skeptical that it will shift substantially better than your last two trannies. Hope it does - good luck!

    Just had Redline D4 ATF put in my Tremec

    According to Jon Veith (sp?) at Tremec, they do not recommend using Redline fluid in the 3650. In fact, the recommend approx. 3.5 quarts (3.2 liters?) of Texaco Merconregular dyno ATF or if you have to use a synthetic, Mobil One. For better information, see the 3650 thread located on the...

    How restrictive are stock headers on 01GT?

    scstanger - Please post/pm me a sound clip of your exhaust set-up. It's exactly what I want. In fact, I have a 2001 GT with 2-chmber FM Deltaflows and all I need is the MRT H-pipe w/ cats. How did the install go? Have your check engine lights come on yet for the rear bank O2 sensors...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Please ask them what "Bulletin" they are referring to. My understanding is that the recommendation to lower the tranny fluid level came from TTC/Tremec, not Ford. It's also my understanding that the official word from Ford on the fluid level is 4 quarts (this from the TSB regarding cold gear...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Great stuff!!! Now, we just need to find out if a TSB will also be released at the same time. Can't imagine there won't be a TSB. Guess I'll have to reinstall my old stock shifter over the next few weeks. FYI - these parts numbers don't show up yet on www.fordparts.com yet, but I...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    This is great info . . . thanks for keeping us all posted. I hope all it entails is some fluid change/reduction. That would be an easy fix. I'm curious what these "parts" are . . . . might just be 3.2 liters of new dyno tranny oil! BTW, my manual states the tranny requires 3.8 liters of...

    Thanks mustang225 - please keep us posted on your dealings with the dealer and let us know what this "fix" is once you've had it done.

    Mustang225 - can you let us know what you asked Tremec? What are the parts? Will there be a tsb? This is very interesting. Also, do you think he means wait three weeks, then go to the dealer? Thanks - please fill us in on additional details if you have them!

    Jorge - thanks for the update. However, it's unbelieveable how poorly Ford and Tremec appear to communicate. I have a hard time doing something different than what Ford tells me given warranty concerns.

    Jorge - could you elaborate on the following as much as possible? 1.) Who exactly is Jorge Loeffler? 2.) Was your coorespondence with John on email or did you paraphrase a telephone conversation with him? If the answer to #1 above is "a Tremec engineer or tech", then Im going to give...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    What is the TSB # you are referring to? I've not heard of an official TSB from Ford that advises the techs to lower the trans fluid level and switch to a sythetic. That doesn't even make sense since our trannies come from the factory with a synthetic oil. Please post the TSB # you are...
