Yea if the fluid change does not work for you, I would go junkyard 3560, and rebuild your original for fun or resale, ect.

Rocky man you are killing it! Great job on the help.And here are some other PDFs on the 3650.
The money spent to tear into and rebuild a 3650 is most always not worth it. Pick up a 6060 and go forth
Try Royal Purple Syncromesh. It did wonders for my aging tranny.

Yes, 4.10s with a 6060 will feel like 3.55s with a 3650. Saleen304 did a before and after comparison with a 3.73 / 6060 combo versus 4.10 / 6060 and the difference in the 60' was like .05 sec. But he's also making 650 wheel so it depends on your power level and tolerance for a tall gear. Keep in mind the later 6060s (2013+) came with a 2.66 1st gear which will require even more rear gear in our 3v's.I looked loosely into 6060 to trade out my 3650 in my 03 GT 2V. 1st gear in 3650 is like 3.4 and 6060 is little less than 3, won't car be slower off the line in the 6060? Then now you have to change out your rear gears too adding to the cost?
On second thought I was going to suggest this too. If you boiled the clutch/brake fluid on the track it will not properly disengage the clutch in between shifts which would explain the gear grinding. If you rev the engine with the clutch pedal to the floor on level ground and the car begins to move, you know there's an issue with clutch disengagement.What about the clutch? A clutch that isn't disengaging completely can cause issues with shifting. It could have also caused the grinding when you were racing.

I read a bunch that the RP was a no no in our trans? Its the Penzoil synchromesh you want. Did you read anything anout that? Something in the RP tearing up the carbon fiber somethings up inside the trans......idk?!Try Royal Purple Syncromesh. It did wonders for my aging tranny.
DO NOT USE ROYAL PURPLE SYNCROMESH!!!!! It has additives in it that will cause premature wear on the carbon fiber lined snycros. I used it before I heard about this problem and wore my synchro's down to bare metal. When I rebuilt the transmission and tore it down there is a big magnet inside next to the drain plug. It was covered with shreds of carbon fiber.
Stick to what ford recommends, ATF Mercon 5.

Also, my high rpm lockout was solved with a new gt500 master cylinder/slave cylinder ( the one connected to your clutch pedal inside the cabin) mine was sloppy and not allowing the clutch to fully release.....plus is was right off the floor, which was super annoying. Totaly fixed that issue. Best fix I ever did to my mustang to date. It was cheap too. Talk to TASCA for a deal.Rm
I am happy to hear that!!!Update: just changed my tran oil with Ford Motorcraft Mercon V. Guys...I think I got lucky. The Stang switches much smoother again! Feels about as good as it did before my little incident at the track. Goes into reverse about as good as it did before. At least I am not noticing any difference from b4 incident. It's kind of odd that a simple transmission oil change could make it feel that much better. Maybe my mis-shift did not really screw up the transmission? I don't know but I am happy and counting blessing the car seems to be OK...at least for now. Any case, thx for all the great input from everyone.
I think many of peoples problems now that these cars have some miles on them are from the eyelet on the clutch pedal cylinder. They get a little sloppy and it causes the clutch to not fully engage/release - however you want to call it. Basically you loose critical clutch pedal travel.

I agree, the plastic eyelet is garbage.......
I'm 6ft tall, but I still installed the clutch pedal extender pad thingy to get the clutch to engage sooner and I have the braided steel hydraulic clutch line as well. It helps but still isn't ideal.
I am 5ft6in....think about how much of a pain in the ass it was for me!
All of this talk has made me decide to stop procrastinating on the 2013/14 GT500 master cylinder. Going to order one this week and be done with it. My insurance covers towing, but might as well get it done anyway to avoid another breakdown when the plastic one breaks.
