Once again, sorry if this one has already been posted. It is a week old. From the same Ford tech on another board.
TSB
05-8-8 GROWL/GRINDING NOISE IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR DURING DECELERATION - TR3650 MANUAL TRANSMISSION - VEHICLES BUILT BEFORE 1/15/2005
Publication Date: April 18, 2005
FORD: 2005 Mustang
ISSUE:
Some 2005 Mustang vehicles equipped with 4.6L engine and the TR3650 manual transmission built before 1/15/2005, may exhibit an intermittent raspy grinding noise while driving in 2nd and/or 3rd gear during deceleration. The noise may sound like a bearing growl, screech or scraping noise. Noise intensity may be light to medium, and is more likely to occur during the first few minutes of warm-up.
ACTION:
Order a synchronizer kit and a snap ring kit. Replace the reverse gear and synchronizer on the main shaft, and the associated snap rings. Refer to Workshop Manual Section 308-03B.
NOTE: DURING DISASSEMBLY, IF METAL SHAVINGS ARE FOUND ON THE TRANSMISSION MAGNET WHEN REMOVING THE EXTENSION HOUSING DO NOT CONTINUE WITH THIS TSB. THE TRANSMISSION MUST BE REPLACED

Does anybody know how to figure out the build date from the VIN? I used this link https://www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/vin_tools/ and it doesn't show a build date. Said my GT had 6 cylinders too????
my service department is in denial that there are tsb's on this stuff now i have proof!!
