Soooo when I bought my Mach 1 I asked all the precursory questions:
Any leaks
Motor noises
Issues with suspension
CLUTCH WORKING ?

Well, after driving it for a week or so I feel a slight slippage in the clutch. Mostly at high rpm. Then came the smell of a burnt clutch. So I order a new clutch a few months ago. New MM cable kit. New throw out bearing and pilot bearing. It's hot on Az these days but I figure I could take a little heat. I've never taken out a 3650 but figure it's a mustang. It's all good.... I soon find out the bell housing and trans come out as one and there are no less than two bolts holding the block plate to the transmission..


Good times. I had to order a new rear main seal and transmission mount. I did find out the 4.6 has a rear engine block cover where the rear main seal sits. Makes changing it out soooo nice.

Unfortunately not. I ordered the rear main seal from American muscle and it won't be here until this week. I'm going to degrease the trans and under the car the best I can while I'm waiting for it to get in. I also needed a new trans mount which will be here this week too.
