RE: why
Ah, yes. I'm forgetting all the common Mustang issues already. 
The TR3650 transmission has a lot of problems with 2nd and 3rd gear grinding. There was actually a TSB from Ford about it. Within certain mileage, you can get it fixed at a dealer for warranty replacement. The issue has to do with the 2nd and 3rd synchros and forks, if I remember right. As far as reverse goes, I remember mine was rather difficult on a regular basis as well. I found that if I went up to first gear, then down to reverse it worked perfectly 90% of the time. But straight into reverse was a bitch most times.
And like the other guys said, yeah...six speed and fairly tough.
....what year mustang do you have?

RE: why
im running the tko500 pro750... its a very strong built tranny, no problems so far with some track runs in with sticky D/R's and some street abuse too.
