synchros need replacing...

[zxmarekxz]

does it make sense to replace the synchroes or should I just get a used trans? not sure wha tthe labor difference would be....

I'd rebuild. You could end up with issues from the used transmission. You would know what you have when its all said and done.

its a dd but i have a backup, so i can live with the down time. this crossed my mind too, never know what you're getting used. Would a loca trans shop be sufficient or would I be an idiot to go anywhere other than libert or patriot or whatever theyre called?

Do you have a local speed shop, one that deals in mostly mustangs? When i had my fox id have them rebuild my transmission. If there is someone that people trust to rebuild then go there. I would ask alot of questions and find out what kind of warranty, brand of parts they use.

I just picked up a 3650 with less than 3k miles on it. If you can find a good used low mileage unit it's cheaper than a rebuild.

If you want true piece of mind, get yours rebuilt. I talked to this guy in Atlanta and he seems very knowledgable about the 3650 and seems reasonable.

Wow, $1100 is steep. You can find them used with <30k for $350-$500 depending on mileage.

An 09 trans would bolt right up to the hydraulics/shifter assembly in a 05 right?

Have you priced the rebuild parts for a 3650?
