Hi all: Well, I'm actually thinking of putting my 01 Cobra up for sale in the coming weeks. I hardly drive it anymore and I need the garage space. It's a great car, 17K original miles, MINT condition, not a scratch on it, still smells new, it's never seen rain or snow. It is a gem. I will put...

I have an ongoing dispute with a local dealer regarding a problem with my TR-3650 (imagine that, huh?). Anyway, since they are refusing to work with me to resolve the problem, I called Ford's Customer Relations # and after a lot of complaining and pleading, Ford said they will escalate my issue...

For those of you who have MGW shifter, can you tell if there is an increase in noise vs. the stock shifter? Please don't compare with other after-market shifters, only stock.

Woodfield Ford - Schaumburg, IL They did the fix on my transmission with the synchro-kit for the 1-2 clunk problem. This problem was corrected, but since they did the work, there's another problem. It makes a whining (or whirring) sound during hard acceleration in 2nd gear. The...

Since my TR-3650 had the Synchro Kit fix, the 1-2 clunk problem went away but now it makes a whining noise during acceleration in 2nd gear (and 1st). So, I took it back to the Ford dealer who did the work and they acknowledged that there is a whining noise when the transmission is hot. So...

My clutch shudders when I shift from 1-2. Right when I step on the clutch pedal I can hear the shudder. The faster I step on it, the bigger the shudder. It started doing this after my clutch was removed and reinstalled. The clutch was reinstalled with the clutch alignment tool so I don't...

It's been mentioned here that the K-member can be used for lifting the front end. Can someone please explain which is the K-member? Where is it relative to the front suspension lower arm?

O.K. Since nobody replied to my thread titled "Tranny Experts only please", I've decided to invite "Anybody who knows something about trannys" This has to do with assembly of a TR-3650 transmission: 1. How critical is measuring end play on the main shaft and countershaft during reassembly...

For those of you who have assembled a TR-3650... 1. How critical is measuring end play on the main shaft and countershaft during reassembly? 2. Is there anything wrong with just installing the same amount of shims as factory (without measuring end play). 3. What symptoms can be heard or...

Recently had the Ford dealer install the Synchro Kit to fix the problem for 1-2 gear clash. This was in accordance with TSB 04-15-6. The clash is now fixed and the tranny shifts much better but, now has the following symptoms: 1. In 2nd gear, the transmission is noisy during hard...

I'm talking about the replacement Synchro Kit to alleviate the problem of 2nd gear clash. If you've had this done to your tranny, please share with me your results. After doing it to mine, the 2nd gear clash problem was solved; however, I've noticed that when driving in 2nd gear, the...

Has anybody deleted their rear wing? I don't care for mine. I like the look of the 03 Cobra rear wing. What's involved in changing the 01 wing to 03 style? If anyone has done this and has pictures, please post.

I have an 01 Cobra with the stock rear wing and would like to change it to 03 Cobra rear wing. Is it necessary to change the entire trunk lid or can I just swap the wings? Anybody know if the 03 wing can be installed without drilling holes in my trunk lid?

This is just to share with all of you my good news. Thanks to the efforts of my local Ford dealer, Ford has agreed to bear almost all the cost to service my TR3650 tranny with TSB 04-15-6. This is the fix for the "clash and raspy feel" during shifting from 1-2. All I have to pay is a $100...

1. I'd like to know from you guys that are really hard on your clutch how long they last. 2. What specific parts of the clutch typically wear out and need to be replaced? 3. What type of clutch is in an 01 Cobra? Is it the same as a GT?

I'm thinking about putting on stock 03 Cobra wheels on my 01 Cobra. Anybody swappd their 01 wheels for 03's? Any fit-up problems? Does the extra width cause any interference. Does the car drive better, feel better? Please explain.

Anybody out there experience rough shifting with their 01 Cobra with a TR-3650, specifically when shifting from 1st to 2nd? Mine is tough to put into 2nd, especially when the car is cold. There is no grinding - it just "clunks" in, but i gotta fish it in hard. After 10-15 min of driving, the...
