NOTES, CAUTIONS
WARNINGS&

As you read through the procedures, you will come across NOTES,
CAUTIONS, and WARNINGS. Each one is there for a specific purpose.
NOTES give you added information that will help you to complete a
particular procedure. CAUTIONS are given to prevent you from making
an error that could damage the vehicle. WARNINGS remind you to be
especially careful in those areas where carelessness can cause
personal injury. The following list contains some general WARNING
that you should follow when you work on a vehicle.
Always wear safety glasses for eye protection.
Use safety stands whenever a procedure requires you to be under the
vehicle with the vehicle jacked up.
Be sure that the ignition switch is always in the OFF position, unless
otherwise required by the procedure.
Set the parking brake when working on the vehicle. It should be in
REVERSE (engine OFF) or NEUTRAL (engine ON) unless instructed
otherwise for a specific operation. Place wood blocks (4”X4” or larger)
to the front and rear surfaces of the tires to provide further restraint
from inadvertent vehicle movement.
Operate the engine only in a well-ventilated area to avoid the danger
of carbon monoxide.
Keep yourself and your clothing away from the moving parts, when
the engine is running, especially the fan
and drive belts.
To prevent serious burns, avoid contact with hot metal parts such as
the radiator, exhaust manifold tail pipe, catalytic converter and muffler.
Do not smoke while working on the vehicle.
To avoid injury, always remove rings, watches, loose hanging jewelry,
and loose clothing before beginning to work on a vehicle. Tie long hair
securely behind the head.
Keep hands and other objects clear of the radiator fan blades, Electric
cooling fans can start to operate at any time by an increase in under
hood temperatures, even though the ignition is in the OFF position.
Therefore, care should be taken to ensure that the electric cooling fan
is completely disconnected when working under the hood.
Disconnect the negative battery ground cable before using any electric
welding equipment.
Appropriate service methods
and proper repair procedure are
essential for the safe, reliable
operation of all motor
vehicles as well as the personal
safety of the individual doing
the work.
This Manual provides general
directions for
accomplishing service and
repair work with tested,
effective techniques.
Following them will help assure
reliability.
There are numerous variations
in procedures, techniques,
tools and parts for servicing
vehicles, as well as in the skill
of the individual doing the work.
This Manual cannot possibly
anticipate all such variations
and provide advice or
cautions as to each.
Accordingly, anyone who
departs from the instructions
provided in this Manual must
first establish that he
compromises neither his
personal safety nor the vehicle
integrity by his choice of
methods, tools or
parts.

INTRODUCTION
This manual is designed to provide detailed information
necessary to service and repair the TREMEC 3650
transmission listed on the cover. As outlined in the Table of
Contents, the manual is divided into 4 main sections:
a) Technical Information and reference
b) Disassembly and reassembly of the transmission
c) Troubleshooting guide
d) Tools required
The format of the manual is designed to be followed in its
entirety if complete disassembly and reassembly of the
transmission is necessary. But if only one component of the
transmission needs to be repaired, see the Table of Con-
tents for the page numbers showing that component. For
example, if you need to work on the Shifting Controls, you
will find instructions for removal, disassembly, and reassem-
bly on page into. Service manuals, Illustrated part list,
drivers instructions, and other forms service information for
theses and other TREMEC transmission are available upon
request.
On any repair or parts replacement, always use “original”
TREMEC parts according to the corresponding “Service
part Catalog”.
The use “non original” parts may endanger the operation
and performance of the transmission.

Lengths measured from clutch housing face to cover rear (extension).
Weights include shift bar housing, clutch housing, less shift lever assembly, and
clutch parts. For more information on available application, see the
transmission’s illustrated parts list. All weights are approximate.
Oil capacities are approximate, depending on inclination of engine and transmis-
sion. Always fill transmission, with proper grade and type of lubricant, to level of
filler opening. See LUBRICATION.
SPECIFICATIONS
IMPORTANT
All TREMEC transmissions TR-3650 are identified
by the model and serial number, and date. This
information is stamped on the transmission identifi-
cation tag and affixed to the case.
The transmissions series TR-3650 have five forward speeds and one reverse, of advanced design that offers to you, the
most efficent relation of capacity of partorsion-weight, that any other transmissions of 5 speeds within its rank.

Proper lubrication procedures are the key to a good all
around maintenance program.
If the oil is not doing its job, or if the oil level is ignored, all
the maintenance procedures in the world are not going to
keep the transmission running or assure long transmission
life.
TREMEC Transmissions are designed so that the internal
parts operate in an oil circulating bath by the motion of the
gears and shafts.
CHANGE AND INSPECTION OF THE LUBRICANT
Use oil ET-M99 specification.
Additives and friction modifiers are not recommended for
use in transmission TR-3650.
PROPER OIL LEVEL
Make sure oil is level with the filler opening. Because you
can reach oil with your finger does not mean oil is at proper
level.
DRAINING OIL
Drain transmission while oil is warm. To drain oil remove
the drain plug at case bottom.
Clean the drain plug before re-installing.
OIL CHANGE AND REFILLING
Clean case around filler plug and remove plug from case
side. Fill the transmission to the level of the filler opening.
The exact amount of oil depends on the transmission
inclination and model. Do not over fill this causes oil to be
forced out of the case and cause a deficients lubrication.
when adding oil, types and brands of oil should not be
mixed because of possible incompatibility.
LUBRICATION
Thus, all parts are amply lubricated if these procedures are
closely followed:
Maintain oil level. Inspect regularly.
Change oil regularly.
Use the correct grade and type of oil.
Buy from a reputable dealer.

GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION GENERAL INFORMATION
The TR-3650 transmissions have five forward speeds and
one reverse, and are shifted as you would shift any
synchronized transmission manual, following the simple 5
speed shift pattern.
Follow the simple 5 speed shift pattern:
The transmission must efficiently transfer the engine’s
power, in terms of torque, to the vehicle’s rear wheels.
Knowl-edge of what takes place in the transmission during
torque tranfer is essential when troubleshooting and making
repairs.
Power ( torque ) from the engine is transferred to
the input shaft and drive gear.
Torque is transferred to the countershaft drive gear.
POWER FLOW
Torque is delivered along the countershaft to all
countershaft gear.
Torque is transferred to “engaged” mainshaft gear.
The cross section illustrates 1st speed gear position.
Engaged mainshaft gear internal clutching teeth
transfers torque to mainshaft through synchronizer
assembly.
Mainshaft transfers torque directly to driveshaft t
through rear yoke.

Correct torque application is important to assure long
transmission life. Over or under tightening of fasteners can
result in a loose installation and, in many instances, can
eventually cause demage to the transmission. Use a torque
