I have an 18 PP.
1. I have been told by some technicians that the wirring noise on high RPM shifts is normal and will begin to lessen as miles are added to the car. My car is actually getting better as I add more miles, but some other people are having serious work done to remedy the issue. My...
I had the same problem when new. As its progressing the noise is lessening. I took my car in for an oil change and asked the dealer to look at it. They test drove it and couldn't replicate the problem. They also said they didn't want to tear into the transmission because there is no obvious...
I've noticed the same thing, except mine happens in first and second. If I am cruising and then hit the gas with some severity it will lag a second and then build RPM like it is supposed to.
I was assuming it was part of the tune to keep people from doing crazy shit at low RPMs.
I just wanted to add that my 18 is experiencing the same issue - grinding when shifting at RPMs at or above 5,000 as well as a slight problem idling upon startup every once in a while.
I am right at 3,000 miles and don't find the problem getting better by wearing in.
I will have the dealer...
Would it be possible to get a side view of the spoiler on the car?
I have the performance package wing and am going back and forth on how much I like it. Would the Outlaw wing be a direct replacement or would there be holes that need to filled?
Thanks
I just test drove an 18 with the performance pack and the best compliment I can pay it is that I completely forgot about the clutch.
I actually got rid of my 15 GT performance pack because I hated the engagement point , non-linearity, and lurches between first and second gear. I was ALWAYS...
Can you give an update on how the new clutch feels? I always had a problem with the smoothness of shifting into first and then the first to second shift. The car would lurch basically no matter what I did.
My local dealer had an 18 in Orange Fury on the lot today as a rep from Ford was doing a demonstration of the new features for the salesman. The car looks much better in person than in pictures, just as the 15 did.
I could never tell if Orange Fury was more yellow or orange. Turns out its...
After I test drive the new manual I will make my decision to order. I hated the clutch in my 13 and 15. If they smoothed it out and made it more linear I will gladly order another.
I did my with my 15, but it really wasn't the cars fault. My mom was killed in a traffic accident about the same time I bought the car and every time I got in the car it reminded me of the drive I had to make to the airport to fly home.
After reading the other threads on this it seems this is the case. I guess back to the dealership.
Thanks for the information.
One last thing, I have been noticing a smell like old leather coming from my vents when I turn on the ac for the first time in the morning and then it ceases after a...
I noticed that my air conditioning was not blowing very cold. I grabbed my infrared thermometer and went out to see just how not cold it was. Of the four vents in the front dash three of them are blowing air in the 85 to 90 degree range and then the last vent is blowing at around 68 to 70.
The...
After installing the Steeda clutch spring I can say it seems to be the best of both worlds now. I still can feel the linearity I liked with no spring and can now modulate the pressure on the pedal a bit better as it is not so stiff.
One of the better things I have done to my car and it was...
