what kind of transmission does

[650silverfury]

hello everyone what model transmission does a 2003 mustang GT 5spd have. i want to buy a after market shifter but im not sure what kind of transmission i have. thanks in advance.

IT's a Tremec 3650

 

[RedBullitt]

yep, tremec 3650 assuming your car was not changed. check out the mgw shifter if you havent already, top notch

 

[650silverfury]

so you recommend the mgw shifter over the steeda tri-ax shifter? also i hear there are alot of problems with the t-3650 transmission. is this true?

 

[Fubar02GT]

depends on how you drive it...i have 22k on mine, with absolutely 0 problems so far...others weren't so lucky...several have gone through more than one, but i guess it's hit or miss...this was also the first 5spd i've ever owned so they weren't easy miles either

We went through 2 3650's on the 04 GT. Got a new UPR Extreme shifter, took care of most of the issues once I fixed the transmission myself that Ford couldn't fix.

Tri-Ax It won't letcah down

Mgw!! Mgw!! Mgw!! Mgw!!

this will tell you all you need to know about the 3650. if you can live with the notchiness of the 1-2 shift, and dont encounter any big problems down the road, the 3650 is a pretty stout tranny. MGW gets my vote btw

if you're a hard shifter you might want to look into the TSB
damn, it's been a long time

what is the TSB?

 

[timeless2]

what is the TSB?

Stands for "Technical Service Bulletin" delivered by Ford. It is an internal memo referencing a known issue with a motor vehicle. The one mentioned earlier is in reference to the notchy shifting of 1-2 in the Tremec 3650. Hope that helps!

Yeah, there is the Tri-Ax and the new kid on the block, the MGW...but let's not forget the best one - Pro 5.0.

But with a different handle ...

^ Agreed Pro 5.0 is the best IMO. I have NEVER heard anyone coplain about the Pro 5.0 EXCEPT for the crapy handle they provide with it (TOO short),(and ofcourse everyone notices a slight noise increase...steeda is the worst) but when you switch to the steeda handle it is PERFECT. Never heard ANYONE complain about that combo.
