picieslefty said:well to tell you the truth i have no idea if my car has the T-3650 or a T-45, but i have an 01 gt with a 5spd manual. I can't shift into 1st while moving at all and I just burned out my synchro into 3rd gear this last weekend. it now grinds like a son-of-a-****** into 3rd. I guess i'm lucky tho cuzz I have 80k miles on my car now and this is the first major issue i've had. :-/
I have a 2002 GT. You CANNOT shift into first until you are basically at a stop. This is normal! The first gear ratio is SO low geared that if you tried to shift into first at even 10 miles an hour, you would probably eventually foo-bar the transmission! I have to be under 10mph before I even think about shifting into 1st.
