Double clutching isn't required at all in a Mustang MT. Or any car really. You can ham hand a modern synchromesh into almost any position. But don't you want to be as smooth as you can? Why are we even shifting our cars at all if not to do it the best we can. It's just another way we can enjoy...

Double clutching is necessary for a smooth two-to-one downshift at anything faster than a dead stop. It's only just for fun otherwise. Truckers still need it and it is a nice skill when driving older cars. You can also develop a better mechanical intuition as a result. Rev matched downshifts...

I've been pulled over in cars both louder and quieter for noise than my stock GT. But not actually in the GT. It would be nice to have an sound off switch when cops are near. A lot of cars with the same size (and horsepower) motors are very quiet. The big engine luxury cars are quiet. Too...

Revving costs money? Dude if you were worried about a few pennies why did you go and void your warrany? That said, sounds like something is wrong so hit up the dealer, since you're lost. You're going to have to pay someone to fix it. Forum guesses are all over the place from plug gap to flywheel...

Thanks for the upload. I plan to print the relevant pages and put them in the glove box. I'm sure the 2015 tie down instructions also apply to a 2018, no?

Stick or automatic? The hesitation is odd. Try keeping launch RPM up over 2,000. Mine chokes on hard launches at low RPM. Anyway, you've have described typical vacuum behavior. Manifold vacuum is related to the throttle plate opening. Given a constant load, more throttle equals less vacuum...

It's wouldn't be hard to install an actual vacuum sending unit. You need load, RPM, throttle position to do the inference, no? Seems like that's the hard way. I know the oil temp is just a calculated value but why would this be the case for vacuum?

Long story short, my 18 GT needed an O2 sensor after a CEL light, and the dealer asked specifically if I ever did a tune after fumbling around under the hood for 2 weeks. Well, no, I didn't the car's only a few months old. So I'm glad I didn't tune, and didn't give Ford any excuse to deny my...

CD is a good mag with good writing. They have been good documenting pony car battles going back to the 60's. I subscribe. https://www.caranddriver.com/flipbook/lookin-for-a-fight-the-complete-history-of-our-camaro-vs-mustang-comparison-tests#1 My favorite...

I had already cancelled the extended contract and was refunded the balance (was way overcharged at purchase) when my Mustang had to go in for MIL light after 10 weeks of ownership. They gave me an Escape loaner without my even asking, and they ended up keeping the Mustang for about 2 weeks. Was...

I finally took at stab at the install. Got the brand new Kobalt vise grip three pack off Amazon, including a needle nose. Got a flashlight, a pad for my back, and a free hour. No go! The damn coils are facing such a way that I can't get vise grips on the stock spring! No room for a clamp or...

Slow down. Work on the problems, don't make things worse by getting all dramatic. Service tire warning can be changed in the cluster. Bass rattle? Sounds like it was a couple of loose screws that you fixed. Ticking stopped with a fill up so what's the problem? Piston slap doesn't fix itself...

So I've searched, and can't seem to figure out WHY there are these threaded holes in the undercarriage in the first place! Ford took the time and effort to put them there and install nice strong bolts as well. They are just perfect for the rails. Any ideas? In fact, I like the factory bolts...

The whining was about the MT-82. The GT350 does not have it. And you can't just go by the transmission numbers. The internals vary by application. Nothing about the 3160 is light duty. Plus it's beefed up for the hp/tq/rpm of the Voodoo. There's articles about this. The 6070 in a Stingray is...

Who says you have to "load up" anyway? I paid $33k for my GT and got two rear seats. The C7 starts at $55k. So $20k more for the Vette? I don't think the Vette and the Mustang GT are ever cross shopped anyway, even with deals. The GT350 is the same price as the Vette, starting at $55k, and has...

Redesign all you will but if you have to trust one tiny bolt it is a no-go. Possible that Steeda will create a kit to incorporate both bolts or something. But damn I have had other cars with extremely beefy hood hardware going back forty years. Some with extremely large hoods and beefy spring...

Reminds me of Jeep and the Wrangler/Grand Cherokee. In some minds the Wrangler is synonymous with Jeep, and possesses less than stellar build quality and roughness accepted by fans. But cheap thrills in base configuration. Granted off-road thrills but nevertheless. The Grand Cherokee is the F150...

You do have a few things to learn. You don't, and neither does anybody in here, know why Ford made the recommendations that they did with regard to weight. And therefore any variation from that spec is a likely to be as detrimental as beneficial. It's all speculation. And I've heard everything...

I was asking around to all the steel wheel sites, detroitsteelwheel.com, etc. wheelvintiques.com responded with a form to print out to help measure my brake and suspension clearances. After I do that I'll post if they have anything that'll fit. mobsteel.com sent this reply: "The wheels you are...

High school was long ago. I see what's happening here. You are trolling. You know what you are saying inflames, then try to take the high ground or something. Please. I do see some of you were saying isn't without some merit. But even then you picked the wrong place. Coming in and slinging...
