TR-3650 and the 1-2 notch

Nov 15, 2003 3 Replies

I posted this over at another forum and felt that this would also benefit others here.



I decided to email Tremec directly on the Tr-3650 after I read a post here on someone else contacting them.



Here's the response that I received from them and it looks like Ford/Tremec finally admits there is a problem and they are willing to fix it.

If you go back to the dealer within the next three weeks, they will have three parts available to take care of this problem you have experienced. I know they have issued a Parts Information Letter (PIL) on this in their system.

Is the problem that you are referring to with the newer GT's going from 1st to 2nd before they warm up? I have an 03 and always thought it was the way they all were. I just have to be very careful until the transmission warms up. If this can be fixed do I contact the Ford dealer or do I contact Tremec at the email address above? Thanks in advance for your post and your help.

Yes on the 1-2 shifting. From what I've been reading since 9/02, this is a common problem that Ford has been denying since the beginning.

If you can alot more about the problem on stangnet.

But now it appears that Ford/Tremec has admited there is a problem. Tremec told me wait a few weeks and then call Ford.

experienced.

Thanks very much for your help.
