02 gt 3650 problem
There's a TSB about that problem, here's the fix, or at least it will help it:
drain and refill the transmission with EXACTLY 3.2 quarts of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF or Ford Mercon V. The original fill level was 4 quarts, and contributes to the problem. The easiest way to make sure you've done exactly 3.2 quarts for me was to take the shifter out and pour it in through the top, that fill hole is a bit of a pain to get an exact amount in.

good info man, my car just started doing this exact same thing so i am going to take it to the lube place i guess and get this done, i think they charge like fn 90 bucks though. i cant really get under the car since its so low
hey if i were to get antoher tranny being a DD would i be better off detting a 3650 from like DDperformence or something like this.. http://www.keislerauto.com/index.php...street.html???
yeah this happened to me, but it only happened when the trans was cold. . . i had it rebuilt by ford and it still happens now if i dont shift slow enough they put new shift rails and synchros with less teeth but it didnt last more than a year before doing it again. if it happens all the time i would personally look at t-56's
yeah i have the same problem there's a tsb out on it, this should clear some stuff up

Same thing happens on my car ('03 GT, 44k miles). I just start it in 2nd gear from a stop, problem solved.
It's sometimes annoying, but IMO it's not worth the money someone will charge you to fix it, even if they can fix it. Oh well, cars are stupid
