That really sucks, look for a junkyard tranny if you cant afford a rebuild

if it's just one syncro it shouldn't be too bad, even through the stealership

Yes they do,Pwertrain performance sells them,I think,And besides dont you have the t45 in the 2000 stang,My t45 in my old gt only cost me $400 for a rebuild,all synchros,bearings,seals, and shift forks,of course I pulled the tranny myself and dropped it off at the shop.

OOps,I saw his name...I didnt even look at the sig,Well powertrain performance still has the best deals that I have seen.3650 go for 1250 rebuilt and that includes the tsb upgrades or at least thats what they told me when I called them...stupid ford dealer told me my 01 gt had a 3650

My gt was just the opposite,if I reved over 3k it would grind bad but normal shifting....smooth as could be.

Something may be out of adjustment, may not be the trans is shot.

Do you have an aftermarket firewall adjuster or quadrant?

ok so today i have realized, that even sitting at a red light idling, if i go to put it in second at idle, it will grind... not even when the car is moving. ( to me that sounds like a clutch adjustment problem? ) also its getting hard to push into first, but no grind going into first

you should do the thing where you adjust the clutch by pulling up on it w/ your foot...

there's an exact process written up on here somewhere, but from what I remember you put it in 1st w/ the car off and put your foot under the clutch and lift up til it stops. then turn the car on and go.

Your car is 5 years old so the adjustment may work. Depress the pedal then release. Lift on the back of the pedal with your toe. You should hear a click. This will take some of the slack out of the cable since it stretches over time.
