2005-2009 Mustang GT (TR3650) Sloppy shifter fix. Bracket and linkage bushing replacement.
Просмотров 14 тыс.2 года назад
Eliminate the play in your shifter! This video will apply to 2005-2009 manual mustang GTs and possible others with the TR3650 5 Speed Transmission. Over time the poly bushings in the shifter bracket AND in the linkage connecting your shifter to the transmission wear out causing a lot of play. Here is a chart that shows all transmissions by year and model: lmr.com/products/Mustang-Transmissions-...

    It’s bad ball joints making the upgrade to ford performance lower control arms and that should do the trick. Saw my ball joint pop when we had it on the lift

    I'm having an issue where it shifts fine, but the shifter doesn't "stay". I can hammer 1 2 3 4 5 no issues, but when it's in gear the shifter has way to much play side to side. will these brass bushings correct that as well?

    I just finished this mod. I removed the shift paul on the top of the transmission (6:18). Wow, that was not for the faint of heart, even with my driveshaft removed it was a difficult. Now the rest of the mod was easy. But that part on the trans, they must put some strong thread locker on that. On the tightening of the nuts, (3:43) if you tighten them down too tight the shifter will be too tight. Only takes a smidge of a loosening of the nut to make it perfect. Overall a great mod to do (now that it's done).

      @bpifitness7406 5 месяцев назад

      Did you replace the bushings where it’s held to the frame too? That’s where a lot of the noice come from. Easy way to know is take it for a drive without the sway bar on.

    So these bushings and this procedure won’t work on the V6 T5. I’m trying to figure out how to do it on the T5 but when I look up the bushings it says T5& TR3650 like they are interchangeable.

    • @bpifitness7406

      Not interchangeable. T5 linkage feels way better than these ones though from my experience. Maybe just throw a short shifter in?
