hey I have not broken mine yet!!!! I bought it broke and hope it does not have to go back into the mustang hospital again!!!!

CAN I get some opinions here. Joe says the cobra needs a 6 speed but can anyone know if a 5 speed will work in the cobra? please give me your opinion as to why or why not?

If it's a "terminator" ('03/04) Cobra you need to run the 6-spd.. I'm sure anything could be converted to a 2,3,4 or 5 speed, but I wouldn't do it..

Is the trans that bad? Meaning, they can't rebuild it? If that's the case, I'd hate to see what that thing looks like.. :*bonk(:

You don't "NEED" to run a 6 spd if you dont want to If you get a great deal on a 5 spd, I say go for it.. An 03 04 Mach 1 five speed will bolt right up. If you are interested in keeping it original or as close as you can get then yea a 6 spd but if this is a fun car or race car go with whatever you can afford.
And ya the tranny that was in it had the gear cluster destroyed and taken apart so no rebuilding it.

convert it to an auto and get dirtydog and his buddy to build a tranny that motor simply cannot hurt.

You can use any tr3650 out of any 01.5-04 gt and the mach 1's. You can find them used for a few hundred.

Who ever you bought that car from must have been the worst driver in the entire world. A T56 is supposed to handle 75hp more then a TR3650 and my stock 3650 handles 700hp like a champ.

Well if you know anyone who has these trany what your talking about for a few hundred please let me know because right now I cant really aford to put in the T56 it is about 2 thousand plus frieght and I might have to pay a core charge. so if you know a way for me to get a trany for only a few hundred dollars then please please let me know

your probably not gonna find a tranny thats either strong enough or in good enough condition to handle your car's HP or TQ output at the flywheel for a few hundred bucks

Ive seen many scatter at 400-500 hp range. If they really were that bullet proof Id put a stock one in my car and save about 3 grand. A lot depends on how the power is transfered, side stepping the clutch can really destroy even a hardened trany.

I am the worst driver in the entire world so you say but anyone can make a driver mistake just like all the other people in the sideline club!!

Here is a cheap one. I think I still have a stock driveshaft you can have if you decide to go the 3650 route.

thanks so much I sent the email to Joe at dyno speed.

Honestly.. I'm not trying to be mean at all, but I think you should put a 6-speed back in it. Check around with some salvage yards like MPS Auto salvage or something like that. http://www.mpsautosalvage.com/sunshop/index.php?l=page_view&p=contact_us

The only reason why you shoud change it is to go with something like a 4-spd racing trans. or something of that nature.. Just my honest opinion.

I agree. Why put something in your car that your not sure about. It makes no since to put a 5 speed in a car that came with/ requires a 6 speed

Eric just bought a T56 from a rebuilder on egay for 1700.

I think you guys are missing the point. She doesn't have the cash to drop on a t56 right now. A 3650 will work just fine until she ever has the cash to put a t56 back in. It's just a cobra it's not going to break a 3650. As long as she drives smart and doesn't drop from 5th to 3rd at 70mph she will be fine. I launch my car at 4000rpms and the tranny never flintches.

I aint tring to be a dick but i want to see you launch at 4000rpms and not break something

Not missing the point at all.. Why pay for a Trans. that isn't meant to go in the car, have it installed then turn around and replace it with what should have been put in from the get go? Makes more sense to do it right the first time..

driveshaft!

Yes the drive shaft is also a good point, will you have to buy a different one???

ok guys what I have desided to do is put it on my credit card and make payments. I think I have desided to go on and buy a T56 and then I wont have to worry about anything braken or having to worrry about braken things I just want it up and running

Thats very smart do it right the first time

Yeah good on ya! It sucks being broke and having to wait or amke hard choices but really it's better to do it right the first time.
