I'm mechanically retarded and I own a 2004 Mustang GT. First, can someone tell me what transmission I have. Second, I was told my second gear synchro is bad and it sounds like the third gear is doing the same thing. I was told the kit to fix this costs $1700. Are there any cheaper alternatives or should I fork out the money. Keep in mind I will be paying for all the work to be done. Please help

 

your 2004 GT has a Tremec tr-3650

for more general info on that tranny see this site

same thing happened to my 04 gt...i took it in under extended warranty....there are tsb's from ford about this problem....the ford dealer here did almost 3k$ worth of work...only cost me 100$ tho.

 

I cant remeber the site but there is a place that will rebuild transmissions for under a grand with upgraded components, making them capable of handling some real power. Shipping could be an issue though.

For 1700 you could get a tremec tko500.

 

Yeah 1700 for the TKO500, THen Tax, Then Shippping, Also u need the Bell Housing. it ends up being like 2200 Out the Door, to fit a TKO in our car. (best price i got so far)

 

Thanks for the info. My Ford dealership told me that Ford is aware of the problem but won't fix it because it is not a "Safety Issue." Almost makes a guy wanna go buy something foriegn......But I love my Mustang so I guess I will fork out the money to fix it.

 

Thanks for the help with the website. There is alot of good information there. Hopefully I won't have to spend the Large amount of $$$$ that the dealer wanted me too.
