I need to know if this sounds like the tremec 3650 problem. First of all when the car is in Nuetral and i push the clutch in and then release there's a lil clunk. Then Puttin in first sounds lil clanky, and first to second is also clanky. I turn my radio up so i dont hear it cause it upsets me lol. If this that problem i'll post in the Sticky as well.

That's why I have the Ford ESP Extended 7 Year/100,000 Mile Warranty. I don't have to worry about a thing if my Mustang GT's transmission or engine breaks down. Many big money items can go wrong with our Mustangs. That's why it's a good thing to have the extended warranty if your regular factory warranty runs out. Yahoo!

Sound like what you might be hearing is a bit of driveline snap because the trans components are still turning due to the clutch not fully releasing. Perhaps...

You'd know if you had the "classic" 3650 problem: the 1-2 shift produces a hard, mechanical moment of "grind", worse when cold. That's about it.

Mustangs have shloppy drivelines. Backing into my garage and feathering the clutch produces all sorts of high-character, dump-truck like noises as the driveshaft is loaded and unloaded. I'm not worried about that as much as I am about the piston slap and 1-2 shift issues the car has
