TAnnY PRobleMS
I bought my mustang about 2 years ago it was used and ever since i have been strugglin with the tranny. At first the problem would only show up whenever i would dowshift from 3rd to 2nd but now i also have this problem from 1st to 2nd. It's this nasty grinding sound......... what would be an economical way to fix it

mind didn't need replacing till i got the car at over 100k. you take care of them: good fluid, proper changes, they will last a long time. don't beat the **** out of it either
you are lookin at at least $1000 to have it done. I did 90% of the job myself, cost me a lil under 500

mine as well get a new one. A new replacement tranny for your car, the t-45 will cost about 1100-1200. If your planning on having the car a loong time, maybe getting a better tranny would be in your interest.

yeah mine's got 1300 on the rebuild and it grinds reverse sometimes. it's the nature of the gear.
Here is a trick.. waita bout 5 seconds while holding clutch down then shift into reverse. I betchu it won't grind.
Honestly if I had the money I'd have gotten a TKO or a beefier trans, but doing most of the rebuild myself cost me drastically less. Now keep in mind I am studying to be a master tech so I WANTED to get my hands dirty and WANTED a mess of parts haha

yeah i do the same thing with the 5 or so seconds, gives time for the gears to stop spinning. But when theres people behind you or in a hurry or something or on uneven ground, itll pretty much grind a little everytime.
