Grind
I notice in the morning or when the car has cooled down, and i start driving. When I put it into second at around 3g-3.5 a get a bit or a grind. I have put the clutch all the way in and it still does it. Am i doing something wrong?
or should i get it check out? Also when I put it into 3rd it feels like a bit of cracking.. I was told that was normal to feel some cracking...

RE: Grind
This is a common problem with the 3650 tranny. It tends to happen in cold weather. I talked to tremec and they said that the original spec for tranny fluid was too high. It started at 4 quarts of fluid, but it has been lowered multiple times. I think the spec is 3.17 or 3.07 quarts now. I am not positive because I have it written down at home and I am away on vacation.
Just swap the tranny fluid and use the lower amount and the problem should be fixed.
