    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Acutally, I never let them go out on test drives alone. I have been in the car twice with Ford and twice with tranny specialists...you're right, other than the stang, Ford makes a bunch of junk...and they do love test driving GT's Doesn't really matter, I won't be in this car much longer...

    Tremec 3650 Fluid

    I've had TSB done on my Stang and I found out that intelligent tranny shop actually filled fluid level back to the top. I dropped fluid and put in synthetic merkron ATF (at the correct level), should I have used regular merkron ATF and not synthetic? I noticed an earlier post said that pre...

    Please Read!!!!! Well, I have an update with TSB. I had Ford install TSB about 1K miles ago and I was very unhappy. I felt the trans shifted differently but still had grind/clunk. When I got the car back, I put it on a lift and checked to see if tranny was really cracked open. I could tell...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Sounds like you just picked up your 03? All I can say is that my tranny shifted pretty good until the weather hit about 40 degrees. Did you drive your mustang on that 17 degree morning we had two weeks ago in Mass? My tranny shifted like crap!!!! I would have guessed I was running cool-aid...

    funny how my $2,000 1992 toyota pickup with 150,000 miles shifts like butter! You'd be bitching too if your stang had a standard instead of an automatic :lol:

    TSB Junk Got my ride back from Ford 2 weeks ago after they did TSB. Ford used outside tranny shop and took a solid week. 1st to 2nd seemed to feel ok but now I notice some notchyness from 2nd to 3rd and from 3rd down to 2nd. In my opinion TSB does not work. Cold weather still effects...

    I had some dealer push back as well. Stress the fact that yes, this was normal at one time, however over the past 2 years Ford and Tremec have been working together to fix this problem and just recently (July?) a TSB was issue to address this problem. Someone in a previous post had also...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Hey 02redstang, Did Ford install kit or did they outsource to tranny shop? Did you notice a huge different for the first 2000 miles or so? Did you request to see the old parts? Did you check to see if "they" installed the placard on the side of tranny which states the revised fluid level...
