I heard that no spring is bad for the clutch and blah blah. Maybe it is? I removed it about 30,000 miles ago and so far it's good.
What's your experience been?
Got it installed by a shop. Really nice feeling shifter. I didn't realize how much slop the stock one had until I got this. But it's TIGHT. Like when I would casually put it in first before, I have to very deliberately put it into first and into second. I had some rocky first to second gear...
'16 GT with the Ford Racing Power Pack 2 and Performance Pack.
Getting the MGW X-spec flat stick. Excited! I don't really slam gears too much, but I dislike the crunchy feeling with the stock shifter.
I'm getting a shop to install the shifter, but while I'm there, anything else that's...
Are there any modern longer shifters for the 15-17 MT82 similar to the old Hurst competition? Doesn't have to be curved towards the driver but I do like a long handle shifter.
I see Barton's Hybrid 3 may be a candidate though I am not sure how much taller it is than stock.
I'm not sure if...
Car only has about 30k miles.
When I took it for service, all good. I have the performance pack 1 installed. I hadn't driven it in 3 weeks due to the snowfall. So I serviced it, drove home and then parked it until now. As soon as I serviced it and drove home from work that night, I noticed...
16 GT PP with the PP2 tune. All stock otherwise.
When I drive normally there is that THUD when I clutch in or shift gears that I can feel from the rear end. But when I am driving under a bit more of a load or let it rev up to a higher RPM and I clutch in, it feels like a much bigger THUD...
Got it installed at a Ford dealership. Took it to a shop to get dyno'd today to see what kind of power she's making. They said they heard audible knock between about 3500 RPM in third and to dyno in 5th wouldn't be safe for the car. It's running on Shell 91.
The Ford dealer assured me it was...
I'm sure the dyno operator will know this but in the off chance they don't..
'16 GT premium manual trans PP car.
Will running it in normal mode on the rollers cause T/C or stability to kick in and cut power?
If so, how do I completely disable the appropriate nannies?
My one mod is the Power...
I know it's a canned tune. I just want a tune to be able to give some more throttle response and some lower and mid range power.
The PP2 seems to do this. But would I be missing out for not going for Lund, Bama, etc?
I'm in Canada so finding performance shops can be a little more scarce...
I like the look of the old school muscle car long handle shifters like the Hurst. Do they make something like that for the mt82...not as long but a few inches longer than stock. Like the flat stick look. I know Hurst makes something similar but it looks cheap and I've read of some snapping.
Not speed, but reliability. Which one do you think will hold up the best over time?
I know Ford has its share of issues but I think Chevy and Ford hold up better than Dodge. In the early 00's I much preferred Camaros to the 4.6 Ford (LS1 much more potent engine) but it seemed aside from the...
'16 GT premium with memory mirrors. Sometimes when I unlock the car, the mirrors start moving on their own inward and then when they can't move any more I hear "click click click click" as if they're stuck. Pressing the memory button will fix this. This happens maybe once every 5th time I get...
Moved from the city to the suburbs and drive my Toyota to work and the Mustang on the weekends, but in late October the original factory battery started getting sluggish and failed completely in November.
I'm of the belief that modern cars don't really like to sit without being run for very...
Completely stock '16 GT PP 3.73. I don't want to go with any shorter gears as they're short enough already!!!!
Anyways, one of my biggest gripes is around 2000 RPM around town in 4th gear i want some more go when I ascend slight grades without downshifting. I know this isn't an LS or a Hemi...
I think the "normal" mode is lazy as far as throttle is concerned so I would always switch to sport plus. I need to get a tune to help with the bottom end, but anyways....
When the car is cold, the first few shifts feel jerky in sport plus, as if the rev hang is atrocious or something and it...
On the highway today going about 65 mph in 6th gear (3.73 gears 6 MT). Suddenly the car in front of me gets on the highway and decides to go 40 mph...so I am slowed down to 40 mph and dropped it into 4th and punched it into the passing lane, and heard the car accelerate but the rumble was much...
When car gets to be 1/3 to 1/4 left, especially when the gas light comes on, the car feels noticeably slower. Like I lost 100 horsepower. Feels fine when it's filled back up.
Funny, because I thought weight would weigh it down.
'16 GT PP stock.
Placebo effect? Perhaps, but it's MUCH...
I took it to Ford on my last oil change a few thou K ago to ask them to look at it. They said they couldn't replicate the issue...
Now with 20,000 KM (about 12.5 thousand freedom units) when I stop with gently brake in traffic, they squeal like a pig at a slaughterhouse on the passenger side...
I knew the Mustang's resale value was bad but when checking out used 392 challengers (love them lately esp low end torque and gearbox) i turned to the internet to see what my GT's worth.
Not much. But the Camaro and Challengers seem to hold their price better.
Oh well...keeping the...
And what's likely to break/need major replacement along the way?
"How many angels can dance on the head of a pin" ?
I know, I know.
But I was reading a Subaru WRX STi forum and guys were bragging about making it to 100k on their engines.
Call me optimistic, but with the 4.6 making it...
