T3650 grinding

boss 302 · Jun 16, 2005

Just this week My tranny started grinding if I tried to put it into first when the vehicle is still moving slowly. It's been hot (90) here, could the fluid be too thin for summer? Never noticed this problem before.

Check out the Tremec 3650 Issues thread up top. You're not alone.

does the 3650 have a stop that prevents you from shifting into first at anything more than like 10mph? I could be wrong..

UndeadRogue · Jun 16, 2005

yeah its between 10 and 15.... I was told this problem was caused by a bad synco...which is not cheap to fix

BTW..I know nothing and would like to put this out there...IM STUPID AND HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT...

but i have heard this from reliable people

Yes. Either leave it in 1st gear with the clutch in if you want to stay in gear while rolling or it'll give you a GRIND trying to stick it in first while rolling. You'd have to throw it in 2nd most of the time.

then if you have a beaten up t45 like me from the previous owner when you gear down it will pop out of 2nd gear 80-90% of the time

If you rev first then put it in first it works....a little rough, but it works lol. I hate it cause it's such a hastle when someone wants to race from a 10 or 15 mph roll, it feels like it's not gonna go in, but just rev and it will make this funny whistling sound while goin in god i love tremecs!!!!!!

I have noticed in mine that I can shift into 1st easy if I apply the brakes for some reason. For example, traveling at 30 mph (or another speed) I push the clutch and apply the brakes. As I'm slowing down I shift into first at about 10 mph. Slides in easy everytime. I hope that is easy to understand.

Hey, we just had an earthquake. Not too big, but our building shook pretty good. Everybody is awake now!

CaliLifeStyle · Jun 16, 2005

Yeah I felt it about 10 mins ago. 5.7 in San Bernerdino.

Delacruz1776 · Jun 16, 2005

Kind of felt like a bad shift change! Ha Ha. (or it could have just been your girl in the blue running up there!)

How much millage ? When was the last time you changed out the fluid ?

From my experience using gears to slow down, using 1st gear is a BAD idea. My guess is you've made a habbit of this. My car has low millage and I tried it out today on the way home from work and it allows me to go into first going slowly.

I'd try changing out the fluid first before anything else.

Happens to me sometimes, other times it doesn't

Delacruz1776 · Jun 16, 2005

Down shifting is when you go from 5 to 4, 4 to 3, and even 3 to 2, but there is no reason to down shift into 1. For one it's equivalent to slamming your beaks on, and for two, if you need to go into 1st you should be going slow enough anyway to just use the break. Down shifting is for slowing down from a fast speed. It really helps.

From a roll though it's kind of tricking going back into 1st once you're out. You just get a feel for it.

The car is an 01 with 18000 miles. I only try to shift into first below 5 mph

Properly rev-matching is the key.

Delacruz1776 · Jun 17, 2005

Well put, my man. The art of up and down shifting. Wouldn't have it any other way.
