tr3650 issues

I have 127k miles on my TR3650 and it's still going strong. Take care of your stuff and it should last.

I think he posted to see if the car he is interested in was showing any of the 3650 issues and if it may be damaged goods. Can't take care of what you don't own and the guy before you may have screwed up



Should be fine, like Mustang5L5 said check with Ford and make sure the TSB 04-15-06 was performed. Here's you a link so you know what should be done.

The TR3650 behind my supercharged 2V is fine (although it is a very mild stock-internal 2V, it's still making boatloads more torque than stock...)

The issue with the 3650 involved notchy, grindy shifts, especially 1-2 and 2-3. If the car you've seen doesn't have the problem cold, then as 5L5 sez, you're probably good to go. The car is 8 years old now: It's likely the problem was fixed a while ago.

Regarding the long-crank: Look on the passenger-door for a sticker that'll read something like "MDE2". This is the code for the factory tune in the PCM. If yours says MDE2, consider finding a shop that can change the tune to an MDE3. Mine had long-crank issues with MDE2. When a shop did a new tune with MDE3 the problem vanished. When I went back to an MDE2-base for the blower tune, I noticed the long crank re-appears every once in a while. It may not be the problem but it was an observation I made...
