SO PISSEDDDDD!!!

[00GTpony]

So i just took my car for a short drive, i shifted at 4500 into second and GRINDDDDDDDDD ..... Now my car doesnt go into second at all without a huge nasty scary sounding grind. I have no money for a new tranny and dont no what im going to do now!

That really sucks, look for a junkyard tranny if you cant afford a rebuild

 

[myponyrocks]

if it's just one syncro it shouldn't be too bad, even through the stealership

 

[00GTpony]

ya my friend owns a junk yard i hear t45s are real cheap like 250 from them...


hahah the stealership.... whats not to bad?

 

[Roos85]

I would just upgrade it some since ur there already

 

[04fullitgt]

burn the car and collect insurance

 

[00GTpony]

they dont have upgrade kits, or rebuild kits for the 3650

 

[rabidscoobie]

Yes they do,Pwertrain performance sells them,I think,And besides dont you have the t45 in the 2000 stang,My t45 in my old gt only cost me $400 for a rebuild,all synchros,bearings,seals, and shift forks,of course I pulled the tranny myself and dropped it off at the shop.

When I was buying alot of parts for the gt i could get them cheaper at the dealer than the auto parts...not alot but cheaper.

at least you can just skip 2nd so you wont be out of a ride if its your dd

andd to the t-45 in the 2000 (rip) comment, hes rockin the 3650 in the '03

OOps,I saw his name...I didnt even look at the sig,Well powertrain performance still has the best deals that I have seen.3650 go for 1250 rebuilt and that includes the tsb upgrades or at least thats what they told me when I called them...stupid ford dealer told me my 01 gt had a 3650

On my way to class today i was like ehhh the trannys broke anyway lets see if i can power shift this bit*h into second without it exploding, so i did and it was like shifting into butter...... i dont get it grinds horribly when i do it the right way, but powershifitng it was fine

My gt was just the opposite,if I reved over 3k it would grind bad but normal shifting....smooth as could be.

Something may be out of adjustment, may not be the trans is shot.

Do you have an aftermarket firewall adjuster or quadrant?

 

[rugster]

check the stop bolts on the shifter

 

[00GTpony]

ok so today i have realized, that even sitting at a red light idling, if i go to put it in second at idle, it will grind... not even when the car is moving. ( to me that sounds like a clutch adjustment problem? ) also its getting hard to push into first, but no grind going into first

 

[snidehockey]

you should do the thing where you adjust the clutch by pulling up on it w/ your foot...

there's an exact process written up on here somewhere, but from what I remember you put it in 1st w/ the car off and put your foot under the clutch and lift up til it stops. then turn the car on and go.

Your car is 5 years old so the adjustment may work. Depress the pedal then release. Lift on the back of the pedal with your toe. You should hear a click. This will take some of the slack out of the cable since it stretches over time.
