Any chance it's the consistent pulling of Gs (which is the common factor with driving on track) that's causing the problem? The fluid isn't staying where it needs to stay to cool the transmission?
I know nothing of auto mechanics, but I see there are plenty of aftermarket coolers out there (like Mishimoto, etc.). People keep saying "just add coolers." Is it really that easy? Why exactly would it be easy (or difficult) to install one on our transmissions?
Theoretically, adding the cooler...
What are you going to do if you need a tow off track? Does the R come with tow hook points?
Oh, and the Owner's Supplement that you'll be getting contains a pamphlet from Ford on how they recommend you set up the car for track use.
I know nothing about car audio, but I'm dying to fix the crappy audio in my Tech Pkg. -- for as low cost as possible. Would this thing from JL Audio help improve the sound? Would it maybe be the only thing we need?

Add one more Tech that actually experienced limp mod
Tech Pkg
Buttonwillow Raceway
Ambient temp: 65 - 70 deg.
1st session - just reconnaissance laps - 1st time at track. No issues.
2nd session: limp mode after 15mins - as my speed and times got faster
3rd session: limp mode...
Zombie, one site I saw about contacting Ford about a problem said to take all the steps you did, and if you still didn't get a satisfactory response you should find out who's on the Board of Directors and one of them a letter detailing your (our) problem and your efforts to get a resolution and...
I think the sound is truly terrible and I'm looking to fix this for very little money.
I have to say, though, the sound when my iPhone was plugged in the USB port was noticeably better than the sound from any other source, including Bluetooth. I have no idea why this is the case.
And I'm...
First of all, thank you 84Venom for creating this poll;and it should be a Sticky.
I would like to respectfully suggest that you change the title of the poll to something like:
"DID YOUR GT350 GO INTO "LIMP MODE" ON TRACK?" POLL"
It will be much clearer to any newcomers who are looking into...
I'm with you. I searched around and couldn't find any. The pad mfrs sites don't positively state that the pads they suggest actually fit the GT350, just for the current Mustang.
I'm taking my car on track Sunday. I'm currently looking to buy a cheap but decent GoPro-like action cam to record my sessions. Anyone have any suggestions for a cheapish cam and mount to buy for a track day?

I'm not sure what publication this page comes from, it's an "RE&T 2016 Source Book" dated June 2015. Does anyone know if the 8-second Overrev cut-off was involved in any of the reported track limp mode events?
Anyone run at over 6250 rpm for more than 8 seconds on track? Anyone experience...
Many car clubs and track day companies strongly recommend that front and/or rear tow hooks be put on for fast towing before you can go on track.
Our GT350s don't have any tow hook receivers or attachment points. The Manual states that the only safe way to tow is using the J hooks and the...
FWIW - I have one of these on my 350 and it works perfectly. Even made it through a small car wash. Thanks Craig for designing an elegant solution for a common problem.
