Just for the sake of this conversation, I went out and tested it. If you slow-shift into first, no thud. If you slam it into first right after pushing the clutch in, slight thud. If you grab reverse too fast, more noticeable thud (actually quite a thud). If you slowly shift into reverse, no...

Yeah, I can. Cause I've done that. If you've developed the habit of having the clutch pedal in at a stop light, NBD. I've been driving a 1978 MGB with a carbon (graphite) throw-out bearing (not a roller bearing); the normal procedure is to leave it in neutral until light changes, then push...

$6k is a lot to loose over a color and auto trans. I'd keep the comp orange, but I'm biased.

Yup. Every time I grab 1st quickly after pressing the clutch in (like half second after pedal hits the floor), it thuds. The clutch disk will carry quite a bit of rotational inertia, so the input shaft is still spinning at engine speed or slightly slower until the synchro cones slow it down or...

It's a bit of a thump you can hear/feel. It's so subtle, I probably couldn't pick it up on video. You can hear it and kinda feel it in the car body, usually at the exact moment the shifter engages the gear and the synchro is driven all the way home. You don't feel anything special/different...

Guys, I found the fix for this thud issue.

It's just barely loud enough for everyone to make a huge deal out of it.

Same way you confirm that the cylinder head bolts are torqued down. :headbonk: BTW, I posted the motocraft transmission fluid chart in another thread. It specifies XL18 additive for the MT82. Here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=374307&postcount=48 If you're really up for...

Maybe they'll do year specific colors. CO for 2015 only, Grabber Blue for 2016, GHIG for 2017, or whatever order, etc... That would be kinda neat. If they did grabber blue, I might have gotten that. I love the gaudy colors on this body, they really look great with the new body. I can...

I guess people need something to complain about... :rolleyes: I like my radio to have reception so no, it's not an issue for me.

Yes, there are multiple threads about this in the Transmission/Drivetrain section. I experienced this from day one and knew exactly what it was, and was never freaked out about it. There is a fair amount of feedback through the shifter for a remote mount shifter. It's just part of the deal...

There have been a number of posts here about this "issue" and frankly I feel like there is a lot of unproductive drama surrounding this, mostly coming from a lack of understanding of how manual transmissions work, and the engineering tradeoff between stiffness/compliance and NVH, and I'd like to...

Well, this is a huge exaggeration. There is no ridiculous amount of play in the shifter, and the range of motion is just fine Gears don't work that way, especially helical cut gears. In fact, helical cut gears want to separate themselves along their axis of revolution. When you shift, you...

Done: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2y8xN1c3KGvbHB5eGJMNWx2SEk/view?usp=sharing Yeah, I'm on the fence right now. Auto-X is done for the season, with events starting back up in march, so I will probably wait till then (and do exhaust in the meantime) to really evaluate the track...

Congrats! You're going to love it. I know I love mine! I would maybe try 3.55, but the real issue is the spread in the transmission. I'm not totally convinced it's worth the trouble. I really should go drive a 3.55 equipped GT (non-PP) to get a real feel for it. Swapping in the lower...

Here is the motocraft transmission fluid chart. Fluid is Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid XT-11-QDC with 27 mL of XL-18 Additive. So you're going to get the same thing as what is in the trans from the factory. I'm curious. What are the ambient temperatures when you guys are experiencing this...

I've been deliberating switching rear end gears on the mustang. I am making an attempt to quantify the differences for myself between my stock 3.73 rear gears and the other available options. I plan on autocrossing next year when the weather warms up but 90-99% of my car's life is daily...

Yeah, my only gripe about the car is that 70% of the time I drive it as a 4 speed, sometimes a 3 speed, because there isn't enough difference between 3, 4, & 5, so I pick one, then go to 6th. I feel like 1st is a tall enough gear that going to 3.55 rear from 3.73 wouldn't be sacrificing much.

I must be the only person without grinding issues, and who is not freaking out about the NVH while shifting (synchros engaging). See the "thud while shifting" thread for my take on that issue. I've had a few times where it felt like the synchros were having trouble engaging as I shift from 1st...

At idle, there isn't any pressure pushing fluid through the trans, it's a lubrication bath. The clutch may be fully disengaged, but input shaft of the transmission may still spin in neutral until a mechanical resistance is applied (shifting into first) due to aerodynamic forces inside the...
