    I got a Lawyer for us on the Tremec 3650

    OK, some of the 3650s are just defective. I will admit that. My disagreement is more with the people who say things like, "Ford should put the T56 in every V8 Mustang." That's an ignorant statement, not just b/c of cost, but b/c of the valid performance-based argument I made in my post. I'm...

    Gee, with all those bytes, you could have posted something valuable, like a lesb!an Photoshop of Mary Kate and Ashley. Firestone is a good example. Let me see, people buy a top-heavy, glass-laden econobox that (to me) looks like it ought to tip over in 20mph wind. Then people run the tires at...

    I think you're on to something, in the sense that some of the people who post problems like these are just too sensitive. The vast majority of car owners just go with the flow, but many sports car owners pay more attention to their car and overanalyze its performance. The people who abuse their...

    Re: Warranty Voided due to Triax Niiice... voiding your warranty over that is BS. Can't the shifter companies get their product certified as "direct replacements" or something? I know there is a federal law against voiding warranties over non-OEM parts of equal quality. And I agree about...

    And you live in Connecticut... I know it gets cold there. Actually, I think the 3650 is a damn good race transmission. I've got 90+ passes on mine, powershifted every time, no sign of trouble. Of course, when I raced the car was at operating temperature, which seems to make all the...

    Timeless words-of-wisdom from the '77 Oldsmobile Owner's Manual: "Do not 'speed shift'; allow time between shifts for the transmission synchronizers to coordinate." I realize the T3650 has a tendency to crunch, especially when the car is cold. I crunched it about 1/2 dozen times when...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I wonder if firmer motor/trans. mounts would help this problem. I really feel my '01 GT has the softest mounts of any car I've ever driven. If there is a class action lawsuit about this, I don't want the compensation to consist of Ford techs tearing my car apart and "fixing" the problem. I...

    Uhhh, I feel your pain Dewayne, but I am still going to post. I have powershifted my 3650 down the quarter mile over 90 times, with no problems. Yes, it has grinded on the 1-2 shift a few times on the street. Any synchro transmission has its limits. And I think there were manufacturing...
