I have a 2001 GT, when I shift into 4th it is popping out of gear. It has a T-45 in it now. I am looking at buying a used trans either a T-45 or a TR-3650. I saw that the T-45 only stands up to low 300's in torque and the TR-3650 holds up to more.

Which tranny should I go with?

I would get that one, but I can get a 3650 for $300-$500 instead of $1200-$1500.

Do you have an aftermarket shifter? If you do check your stops on the shifter. They come loose and that will cause them to pop out of gear .

Where can you get a used t3650 from? Anybody know? I'm curious too. Thinking of having mine rebuilt 2-3 shift is trash and 1-2 feels like garbage.

Ebay. I do have an aftermarket shifter, but i am not sure it that is the problem, because if i hold it in gear it stays and does not pop out, but if i just shift and let off the shifter it pops out.

save the money, get the t56 out of the cobra. It would be worth the hassle.

Are you sure you want a 3650?
