Did anyone notice that owners manual for the GT 350 attention page 25, and the two cards they sent for track settings, where they talk about the coolers were both printed by them July 2015? So they knew then and still built the base and tech without them and without a plug and play solution. Curious if those who ordered the car had gotten a call or letter and said we can add them, how many would have said no?
Thanks gents. I am looking to attend at least 1-2 track days or auto x events this year. I am not hardcore on the track yet, which is why I chose this package, but want the car to be ready for whatever, whenever.
The deflector needs to be ordered separately, but Mike R at Autonation knows the drill and has the part number ready.
To be honest I have access to a lift and a full shop with all the tools. I am not an ASE tech and have no formal training other than being a gear head. Outside of wanting to be able to take my time and work on the car at home, I also wanted to illustrate that doing the swap at home without all the luxuries is easily doable. I could of had a few local guys stop by also but I had to do the swap late in the evenings so I didn't miss time with my family. Hopefully everyone else is encouraged to take on the swap. Even if are just doing the cooler and an external pump that will Be a total cake walk.
I got a quote from Dallas Mustang parts for the tranny and cooler pack of $440 to $660 each. So roughly $1500 for both'ish.Since I am not skilled enough to do the transmission swap, dealer is quoting full list retail, and no clue what the install will cost!
The deflector replaces that piece all together. Unscrew it and toss it in the trash. But keep the 3 screws you had taken out and reuse them.Thanks 50 Deep,
Does the deflector replace the piece that blocks off the grill or does that grill section need to be replace also?
Yes, find another dealer. Those clueless bastards :rant:Just fyi. I'm in Chicago area and have 0 issues with trans overheating on track or under extreme driving conditions however I agree that coolers should allow the trans and diff last longer and perform better. But here is the problem, not only won't my dealer I purchased the car at as well as 5 notable Chicago area Ford dealerships do the coolers, trans swap and any other related work to these cars. I was told not only was this considered work outside of normal scope but if performed will automatically VOID the warranty on the car. I also asked these dealers about the oil cooler line recall and ALL said there is no recall on the gt350 on this. I showed them the Google search and all they said what they had was a serial number range of recall on motor oil pump issues and my car was clean? They said it was incorrectly processed by Ford but recall number was right. Am I missing something?
Maybe you have a unicorn! Ran my car at Road America last Summer and hit Limp every time.Just fyi. I'm in Chicago area and have 0 issues with trans overheating on track or under extreme driving conditions
