Hey fellas, long-time lurker, new registree here I've got a trannie question for you all. In about two months or so I will finally be getting a gently used Stang. My main concern is with what transmission I should be looking for.
I've heard all the horror stories abour T3650's so I'm gonna really try to stray from them if I can help it at all. I know the 01+ GTs came with those, did the earlier models (99+) have them too or was it something else?
Secondly, I know the 99 and 01 svt's came with T45s. [EDIT- thought T56s came on 01's as well, doh] A Cobra would be killer, but an 01 svt is near the far end of what I want to spend. Would it be better to shell out the extra cash to get that trannie, and the 4V motor?
So I guess, in conclusion, my question is: Should I stay away from T3650s even it mean buying a 99 or 01 svt to do so? Or am I worrying about nothing and T3650s are indeed okay?
Thanks guys
