What is the TSB for the shift fork number? Seems I destroyed my second gear syncro and I want them to make sure the shift fork is not one of the bent ones. I tried #388's websight but it is not working for me. I hope to get the tranny fixed soon cuase they still have to fix the oil leak... I think its from the passenger side head.... oh oh
5300 miles on it.... thats sad.

"15175 / 2001 Mustang - T-3650 Transmission shift fork bending"
Some 2001 V-8 Mustangs equipped with TR-3650 transmissions built from Feb-2001 to Aug 2001 may exhibit difficulty engaging 1st or 2nd gear. This may be due to an out-of-spec 1-2 shift fork. A new shift fork has been developed to service this condition (2r3z-7230-aa). Remove transmission and follow service procedures detailed in 308-03c for dissassembly and assembly of replacement 1-2 shift fork. Examine 1-2 syncronizer and blocking rings for any damage. Service as necessary following service procedures in 308-03c."

My site is down due to the guy swapping providers...

Steve, are you using Sinclair? I'm fed up with Sunset and thinking about trying the old Yates dealership (Fusz?).

Any previous good/bad luck with area service departments?

I use sunset normally, I do not really car for Sinclair. I bitch enough that most of my stuff gets done, except for this last time. I took my Bullitt in for the 1-2 shift grind/clunk and they said it was normal... I said no way. So I just let the syncro's destroy themselves. Now thay can not deny the problem!!! I have read other feed up people say they want a T-56 (I believe its the 6 speed) and it actually cost less. That will be my next move if this doesn't solve the problem. Whan I lived in ST. Charles I had really good luck with Pundmann... I have not been to Sinclair in a while for mechanical work but they had to replace my passenger side ground effect (put on a normal GT at the factory) and when the kid brought it around my wife said all's you could smell was clutch!! (I wished I would have picked it up) So I doubt I will be going there.
P.S. Thanks Mid Life I really appreciate it and your site!
