My trans is now grinding going into second. It does it while you're moving and sometimes while stopped. It shifts fine going into all the other gears.

So what do I need to rebuild in this trans and where should I get it?

Sounds like you just need a second gear syncro.

Google it and you should find a few different places.

Im going to the dealership tomorrow and seeing if my car has ever had the recall done to it. If they cant do anything then its time for a t-56

They only had a tsb, not an actual recall. So if you don't have an ext warranty I highly doubt they will warranty it as your car is 7 years old....

(a tsb is only there to HELP a tech, not an actual recall.)

tremec 3650 2nd gear

i had a 03 gt mustang with the tremec 3650 only 6k on it dead stock!!! second gear grinded.. took to ford they did the tsb bulleton to replace second gear syncro.. after repair was done veh was great for 2 weeks then acted up again that was back in 04... now i have a 03 mustang gt mods are 373 gears i put in also mac cold air intake and mac off road h pipe super 44 flowmasters turn downs .. lowered 2 inches steeda springs.. my second gear doesnt grind but is hesitant ... to fix the problem you need a shifter preffer pro 5.0 any aftermarket shifter will do.. because the stock shifter doesnt have a catch on it therefore may cause a shift fork to fail do to over extending the shifter when agressive shifting happens from racing over and over.. i changed my shifter and my trans fluid back to mercon 5 syn and a bottle of slick 50 no problems now ... i do thing the t45 is a better trans not many problems out of them? the solution to the tremec 3650 is to put a good shifetr in it when trans is new.. or swap for a t45...
