05 GT Manual, loosing syncros 2sd-3rd ???

My 05 GT with manual tranny is loosing the ability to upshift from 2sd-3rd grear. It just doesn't want to go into gear sometimes. Not doing any speed shifting or racing, just normal street driving. Anyone else with this?

2-3 once, 1-2 quite a few times......

So far so good with me, but I only have 500 miles on her and she is bone stock.

I have never had a problem but I switch to Amsoil in all my fluids, because of the history of the 3650. I only have 3200 miles on my car. Good luck.

My car still has less then 4000 miles on it ;( Still running factory fluids.

The tranny may have a problem. Have the dealer check it out.

Mine occasionally grinds, 1-2 and sometimes won't go into 3rd. Was told by the dealer that it was normal.

Tranny gear grinding and not going into gear with the clutch pedal fully depressed is definitely not normal. Get it checked.

I just turned over 12,000 miles on mine today. No problems other than every once in a while it isn't smooth going 1 - 2, but most of the time it is. Just depends on how I shift.

If I go too slow, it "catches" and isn't smooth, if I go fast it's like butter.

I know there is something wrong with mine. I am taking it to another dealership to be looked at.

Not normal. Look at the 3650 thread. I did this battle with my '02 GT. Finally got it fixed under the long awaited TSB.

The infamous Tremec 3650 1-2nd grind strikes again.

 

[noxious_mustang]

i dont need to know this, i just ordered an 06 with the 3650, my damn mach1 did the same thing....thaught they got that fixed?

 

[jjaguda]

I wouldn't worry about a problem that has not happened yet. And, the previous problem was usually more of a 1-2 problem rather than the 2-3 problem originally posted in this thread.

 

[NVERL8]

In previous cars I have had the Tremec has always been kind of notchy and terrible to downshift. It may just be the way the trans is, of course I really dont know, my 05 is an auto.

I have a fresh one from the factory, built middle of may with about 1500 miles and i have not had one problem. i will keep my fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[05canuck]

Already had my 5th syncro replaced at 300km and I find that my tranny is very notchy untill its warm and then its like a different tranny...lol

sounds like your tranny is acting up. 3rd gears problems are usually indicitive of a tranny problem. It is still under warranty so take it to the dealer and let them deal with it. I only have 3000 miles on mine and no probs. good luck. P.S. Ask the dealer what the most common warranty servicing issues are- that will tell you a lot too.

I am getting a new transmission.

Smart move going to a different dealership.
