will the 3650 fit

[williamswill5]

would a tremec 3650 fit in our mustangs, a guy is selling one locally for 50 bucks but it has a bad third gear, i wanted to buy it and rebuild it, but i wanted to know if it would fit and if these transmissions were any stronger than our t45

I saw that on craigslist as well.
I have a 3650 in mine that I got for a steal and figured I'd do that instead of the T45. What I saved in buying the 3650 I made up for in parts/labor to make it work.
As far as being stronger, maybe a smidgen, but nothing substantial.

I have one in my car, and yes it will fit, but it is NOT a direct swap. My t45 mount didn't work so I had to modify it, then I had to modify the cross member. It would be pretty easy if you have a mount that will work, even with mine modified it rubs on the transmission case and causes some pretty bad drivetrain vibrations at certain speeds. It's coming out next weekend if I have all my parts for my new trans.

good to know thanks for the help

FYI, the 3650 is not any stronger than your T45 believe it or not.

i can believe it, i was planning on rebuilding it with stronger internals

Well for $50 it not a bad deal at all...

Pro Motion Powertrain has some upgrades such as 26 spline input shaft and upgraded internals...supposedly good to 750HP...

Does anyone have any pictures of there mount.

I have to modify my mount someone before me put in a 3650 in my 96 and they took the mount and moved the mount back. and the whole drivetrain is angled down.

put some "shims" between the trans and trans mount, or between the crossmember and trans mount to get the proper driveshaft angle..

Shiming it would work but i am going to move the mount back to where it goes and modify the mount. What mount do others use when they do this? 96-98 or 99-04 mount?
