I'm looking at an '01 gt right now to replace my 88 lx and I was wondering how to tell if it has the t-45 or the tremec 3650. Do I look at the tranny from below or should I just check the build date on the VIN? If so, what month did they change over to the tremec? Thanks.

Oh man I don't know the codes, but if your car has:

-Hood scoop
-Tinted headlights

its probally a late 2001 meaning it has the T3650

If it wont go into gear and grinds any time you shift its a 3650...


Do you know the build date of the car?

Check your driver's door for a sticker and look under "TR" for a "K". If you have a "K" then you have the 3650 Transmission.

Got that from MGW's website.

Just did some research and found out that when you look at the VIN tag on the driver's side door jamb look for the TR (transmission) section. A 5 in the slot means t-45, a K means 3650. I bought the car and it's lots of fun. :SNSign:

It should have come with the tinted versions.


Are you the original owner??


Could have been an assembly line screw-up and a set of the '00 lights got mixed in with the 01+ smoked versions.


All 2001's received the same headlights that first appeared on the '00 Cobra R
