I just bought a used 01 GT 5spd last week. I don't like how sloppy the stock shifter is so i was wanting to get a new one. I looked around and apparently half way through 01 they switched to the 3650's. How do I tell if this or the other transmission is in my car. Then I can order the right one. Thanks to anyone for your help.

if your drain plug is facing directly downwards it's 3650. If it's at a angle it's a T-45. There is also a way to tell by looking at your vin# but don't how to tell...

On the VCL (Vehicle Certification Label) on the driver's doorpost, the "TR" will either have a "K" for the Tremec TR-3650 or a "6" for the T45. Check out this site for full VIN/VCL decoding for late model Mustangs - http://web.tampabay.rr.com/theflock/mustang/doorplate.html
