I put 3 years & 300+ 1/4-mile passes on my stock 3650/clutch/ppressure-plate before finally losing my 3rd gear synchro (tranny still worked, but it was grinding going into 3rd).
200+ of these passes were launching @ 6800 - 7000 rpm on slicks.
The 3650 transmission is a tough transmission IF the clutch cable is properly adjusted & KEPT that way. I feel that I'd still be using my original 3650 today if I'd adjusted the cable before the track visit that cost me the 3rd gear synchro.
An aftermarket firewall adjuster & quadrant are a MUST for any pre-'05 Mustang IMHO, and regular adjustments will go a long way to lengthening the life of the 3650...
