I'm in the middle of rebuilding my TR3650 and decided to tackle the job myself because of this thread. I've owned my 06GT since 08 and joined this site shortly thereafter. Lately I've noticed quite a few new members buying up our used GT's and starting doing their own maintenance/upgrades. Do not put that R*y#l Pu^rple stuff in your transmission. It will wear down/eat up the carbon fiber linings on your syncro blocking rings. The carbon fiber lining is there for one purpose, to create friction and stop the free spinning gear your are trying to shift to.
The TR3650 I'm rebuilding now is the original I blew the syncro's on about 3 years ago. It's been sitting ever since. I put that RP stuff in long ago before I new any better. I've got the trans completely disassembled and the blocking rings spin freely when pressed against the gears instead of grabbing on and stopping the gear from spinning when attempting a shift. That's where the grinding comes from when shifting.
Anyway this thread and pics are great if you want to rebuild your TR3650. There are also you tube videos you can search for. Special tools you will need: lock ring pliers (snap ring pliers won't cut it), drift punch, large bearing separator plate, 2 jaw puller, and 2 or 3ft of threaded rod from home depot because the output shaft is about 2/3ft long. A 1 1/4 inch socket to remove the flange. Don't buy an impact socket, it will be too thick to fit into the recess in the flange! Also, these service manuals are a big help too.
Last thing, I got my parts from Stan at pro performance. He will sell you only what your need, instead of an entire rebuild kit that you only need 3/4 or 1/2 of the parts from. http://www.pro-forceperformance.com/
