3rd gear

[02_2VStang]

anyone have trouble getting in to 3rd when racing w/ pro 5.0 shifter? how can this be fixed?

i only had that problem with the stock shifter...afterward i bought a steeda tri-ax short shifter...i haven't missed since....could possibly be when you are racing, you're not totally engaging the clutch?

Are you saying you cant find it or its doing something else like grinding?

 

[02_2VStang]

no the clutch is all the way in. just real hard to get in when im at high speed, nothing grinds. but i didnt have a problem w/ the stock shifter

 

[02_2VStang]

could be something i have to get use to w/ the shorter shifter? i just didnt know if it was maybe a known problem

could also be part of our famous "tremec transmission" issue..

I've never had trouble getting into 3rd, with stock or Pro 5.0

Dittos here on my 02 GT with a Tremec...no problems at all. It's stiff when it's cold, but before I even leave the garage, I row thru the gears once or twice, then I am on my way without any issues (except trying to remember to turn the traction control OFF!!!)

T 3650 common problem

It's the crappy tremec 3650. My car won't go into 3rd if I try to shift above 5k RPM's. If i shift it slowly ... it will go in, but shifting slowly causes the engine to drop below the 5,000 RPM range. A lot of people have this problem. Check out Tremec 3650 issue ... threads. I had this problem with stock shifter, and Steeda Tri-ax. We should count our blessings, cuz this is what the better T 3650 trannys do!

yeah, shifting slowly there is no problem, just when at high rpms, but thanks for the input anyways. tremec 3650 definatly blows
