2015-17 Mustang GT Ford Performance Power Packs

I think I may have that on occasion. Like when I’m in a parking lot and going like 7 mph or so it hangs at 1500 rpm, th car doesn’t move any faster but it’s sitting at a higher rpm then normal. It could be a hang or it could be lower gear, since it’s an auto I couldn’t tell. Once I gas or brake it goes back to normal.

This is sort of like my issue, but I could notice a definite clunk before it switches gear, and the RPM drops to almost nothing. I'll take it in Monday to have it looked at, I suppose.

Do you get this clunk while shifting from park to D/R?

Nope. I'll try and get a video if I go out a bit later but with the clunk comes my RPMs dropping below 1k while it tries to shift, then it sometimes holds a shift at a pretty high RPM before finally shifting.

Other times, the RPMs will drop below 1k at the same time as the clunk, then the car moves to around 1700 RPM and holds steady there. Not sure what the issue could be.

Ok definitely not normal

Someone on another car forum thought the car might just need to relearn shift points, but seems like I'm a minority here lol. It doesn't happen all the time, but probably once every 20-30 minutes. No clue what the issue could even be.

Then it wouldn’t hurt to unplug the negative terminal, try to start the engine to bleed power, then after 30 min plug it back in. This should reset the learning system iirc

Out of curiosity the clink comes from underneath and not the engine bay right?

It's definitely from the engine bay and it's a clunk that I can feel, not just hear.

That’s sounds like a real big issue. It might be knock? Or maybe just the throttle body slamming shut but it sounds like a bigger noise than that. Good luck, hope it’s solved without engine damage.
Maybe a crank relearn?

Thankfully I'm only at 25k miles on my car if anything happens lol. All this warranty talk scares me though. Hopefully a relearn will fix it.

Make sure to register the Ford perf warranty if you havent already. Also, I remember a Ford perf rep responded to an email from someone in this thread and recommended a catch can for knock deterrence.

I'll have to ask my dealer if they have all that warranty stuff. They registered an FRPP account for me, but don't know if they did the warranty.

Thanks for all your help!

Just got my PP2 installed and loving it so far! Thanks to this thread I picked up a 45 deg fitting and avoided notching my cover. Now I’m hoping for some additional wisdom:

My FP oil catch can (pass side) no longer fits well. After just a few miles I was already able to detect wear marks on the plastic catch can lid where it’s been rubbing on the throttle body. I currently disconnected the catch can support bracket to shift the can slightly and buy a little room, but it doesn’t feel like a long term solution. Has anyone come up with a fix for this? I’d rather not buy another separator if I can avoid it.

Unfortunately if you want it to be secure you gotta upgrade to the V.2 FP Oil Separator or do what I did which was go to a whole different unit.

Before: You can see how it doesnt fit.

After: Much more clearance. Easier to empty too.

I was annoyed too...

Do you have a part number for the V.2 FP Oil Separator? The only one I can find is the original M-6766-A50 and that one on the FRPP site says it doesn't work with PP2.
