The new gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$ predicted by the strong top dynamical symmetry breaking models has significant contributions to the lepton flavor changing process $\mu\longrightarrow 3e $. We consider the bound on the mass of the new gauge boson $Z^{\prime}$ from the experimental value of the branching ratio $Br(\mu\longrightarrow 3e)$ in the framework of topcolor assisted technicolor models. We find that the precision experimental value of $Br(\mu\longrightarrow 3e)$ gives a severe bound on the $Z^{\prime}$ mass $M_{Z^{\prime}}$. For $k_1 \leq 1$, $M_{Z^{\prime}}$ must be larger than 1.64 $TeV$.
