    I know what you mean. I pushed mine down and watched it rise too. It should've made me miss a gear too.

    I have had ZERO problems from the tranny. No vibes as previously stated. I am not sure, but I think the tranny are different from early to late 01, same for Gt's. The later cars have tremec 3650's which is much stronger than the t45.

    Only real issue I have is with wheelhop. I have 450rwhp and have snapped a axle due to wheelhop on street tires on the street. Other than that I love it.

    Now, it is still a Ford, so expect the typical fit and finish and some rattles. I work for Honda so I the rattles annoy me. But thats why you put loud exhaust on a stang.

    All 2001 Cobra were built with TR3650s. Only the 2001 GT has either a T45 or a TR3650.
