Little high pitch noise happens when I change into 3rd and tires do not bark anymore from 2-3 shift.

Anyone else had this happen

7000 miles
2003 gt

 

slipping at 7000 miles? you better take it to ford.

 

Third is the first gear to go out on the 3650. Espically if yo have been barking them in third a lot. LOL

 

id goto ford quick dont let it get any worse cause if it looks like drag racing damage they might not fix it.

 

Been powershifting that 5 speed alot eh? Congradulations, if they won't fix it for you you just bought about a 1400 dollar transmission.
The 5 speeds (both the 3550 and the t45) HATE powershifting. Dont do it unless you can afford to replace the trans often. I learned the hard way

 

Same applies to the 3650.

 

say no to power shifting. lol well if its done right its not bad but its still not good for the tran

 

I got replies to a post last week that you COULD powershift our trannies and I started last friday nite, shaved a tenth off the quarter and ran 2 mph faster- hope I dont need a new tranny this winter or before- whats the real story?

 

I think you can do it as long as you dont hit the shift gates all the time. I have the pro 5.0 also and shifts are easy for me and I have yet to experience any trouble.

 

if its done right you should be ok. but if you mess up a few times dont be thinking the tranny is going to forgive u.
