I think in general the 3650 is a good trans. At the Ford dealer where I work we recently saw the first problem with a 3650, so for the trans being out for 4 years that is not too bad. The Tech at our shop had a very difficult time repairing the trans, it had a bad synchro, it would always grind going into second. When he reassembled it and tested it never left the shop because of a bad bearing whine. So we ended up calling Ford and they authorized a new trans. My suggestion would be sit down and have a polite conversation with the Service Manager and persuade him to try to authorize a new trans for your car.Good luck I hope all goes well!
