Cobra shifting like crap!

RE: Cobra shifting like crap!
get the clutch quandrant, firewall adjuster, and adjustable cable.
I have a Centerforce DFX 26 Spline Clutch, Fidanza Aluminum Flywheel, Libert Gear 26 Spline input shaft. Without the above parts, I had hard time getting into 2nd & 3rd over 4500 rpms when trying to speed shift (I like to shift at 6000 rpms). since changing those parts, not no prob. I can run it up to 6000 rpms & grab 2nd & 3rd no prob for the track.
On the street is no prob anyways.

RE: Cobra shifting like crap!
you didn't mention what year your car was. If it's 2001-2003 it likely is a bad synchro. I had mine to Ford twice and they replaced the tranny. No luck. They put out TSB 04-15-6 (Manual Transmission Problem) last year. Mayeb they missed it. This is an old thread below, but I just paid $2000 for a new synchro kit and the car shifts better than when it was new. I am trying to get some money from Ford's "After Warranty Assistance" area since I tried to have it fixed under waranty twice and they failed.

Anybody else see this in 5.0's Jan 2005 issue?
"Does the 3650 five-speed transmission in your '01-'03 Mustang make noise or feel rough?... head for the dealer and have them investigate TSB 04-15-06, which says your tranny needs a synchro kit installed"
I've got a 2001 Cobra with the tremec 3650 ... the shift from first to second has been rough (grinds) from day one. Ford has replaced the tranny twice - still no better. Do you think they will do the work even though my three year warranty is up?
