I was thinking little more about it and I can't really see why it would cause any issues. It's only going to be seeing less power than intended if the kickdown is maxed out but I'm off throttle. It...

The 3.8 mustang is a tail shaft mount shifter. The 2005^ 4.0 are the next gen remote mount. The 99-04 is essentially identical to the 95 5.0 V8 trans with an electric speedo drive. 3400 isn't bad.
