there shouldnt be an issue in doing the torque limiting brace without the mounts... unless you think its still going to flex so much that it destroys the bushings in the limiter. But you are right that it would be the best.

you can try a CHE torque limiting brace too. Alot of people blame the shifter, but the real daemon here is the twisting of the drive train on the remote mounted shifter. The torque braces are relatively cheap, cheaper then shifters in fact, and smooth out many issues people have. Just keep in mind what I said before about the TSB on this, you don't want your coverage expiring while you try to work it yourself.

Tranny fluid isnt a fix all. I switched to royal purple like 3 weeks ago and it still grinds third gear on the first shift when the tranny is cold. I also have the CHE torque limiters, which by the way have no affect on the synchros malfunctioning when the tranny is cold. One other member had his car into the dealer and had his synchros replaced, but then had to get the whole trans replaced b/c the synchros screwed up again after a couple of months. Stupid 3650. You would think this would be something ford would catch, since they are manufactured up north.
