For those who dont know my car. Its a single turbo setup pushing 10-15 psi, making around 550 to the rear wheels with a little over 600 ft pounds of torque. Built motor and running the stock 5 speed with a spec 3+ clutch.So today was such a great day, tires had great traction. So while i was pushing 15psi, I slammed second gear and heard a loud pop followed by alot of vibration and alot of noise.Motor is fine, but i have no second gear now.

Soooo.....heres my options, if anyone can help with these,let me know!!


1) find another 3650 5 speed
2) find a tr6060 gt500 swap
3) find a built 3650 5 speed

i think i already know a place that can rebuild mine, but i dont know how much damage is already done so it may get expensive.

Im in the central florida area if anyone has any transmission hook ups,know where i can get a tranny or where i can get a gt500 swap.

I haven't blown anything up with my stang, but when I did on my Gbody, I always upgraded - FWIW and IMO.................6 speed all the way! Midas well get with the times.....5 speed meh.

Sounds like bad news for you and me around Tampa area lately. You blow your engine and ford remote starts my car and it drives itself into a pond.

When I read this thread, I thought to myself... Input shaft. Cant belive you just blew out 2nd but can still move.... Crazy

I would of thought the input shaft too.

I have a plan for when/if mine goes. Either a rebuilt 3650 with 26 spline shaft or 4r70w. I go back and forth. If it happened right now I'd go with the auto. It would mean no more clutch/slave cylinder/ changes along with flywheel surfacing. That crap is already old and I've only dropped the tranny 3 times. It wouldn't be any harder than swapping out the manual. You can have a trans brake if you want. No more notchy shifts.

Hell, I'm not even on the fence now. Auto all the way. Think I'll start collecting parts.
