A manual transmission gets up to 250F?Well the trans is what is causing the limp mode. On the tech and base that temp is at 250f.

Closer to 280F, but who's counting.Well the trans is what is causing the limp mode. On the tech and base that temp is at 250f.
When entering a discussion, it is best to know about the topic at hand regarding the specific power-train. If not, you come of as seriously uninformed.A manual transmission gets up to 250F?
I agree whole heartily! But for some people it is not enough. As to why you would want to disrupt a sublime balance in performance in such a glorious car is beside me.It's supposed to be a NA track car. No way I'd put any kind of FI on one, you'd be running entirely counter to the design philosophy of the car.
Enjoy it for what it is. If you want FI and big power, buy an RS3, or put a TVS or Whipple on a GT, or wait for the rumored S550 GT500.
It's not specific. I never thought a manual would get that hot. Auto's don't even get that hot.When entering a discussion, it is best to know about the topic at hand regarding the specific power-train. If not, you come of as seriously uninformed.
My '13 Boss was built for the track, but the reason I bought it was for the strong engine--not the track. And when I put a supercharger on it, along with other items, with 731hp it became one of the baddest cars around. And it was really fun to drive--almost scary! And that's what its all about.It's supposed to be a NA track car. No way I'd put any kind of FI on one, you'd be running entirely counter to the design philosophy of the car.

Not me really. I ordered a track package.Closer to 280F, but who's counting.
First key difference between and automatic and manual transmission is it's size. 2nd, the Tremec XMSN on the GT350 are even smaller (weight savings) than the standard gearbox on the GT. So without coolers and larger housing the heat build faster with no way of dissipating. I am pretty certain that is the main reason the 17's all come standard with the coolers.It's not specific.

I can't believe Ford didn't test it out before they start selling them. If they are smart enough, they would issue a TSB to have the cooler installed on all of them.First key difference between and automatic and manual transmission is it's size. 2nd, the Tremec XMSN on the GT350 are even smaller (weight savings) than the standard gearbox on the GT.

The car isn't enough for some of us. As for it being a glorious car, that can be viewed as an exaggeration. I see the GT350 as a potential platform to build upon (clearly, an opinion). As it sits right now, it doesn't provide me the experience I've been looking for. This platform has obvious issues, but time will sort that all out.I agree whole heartily!

Then it steam rolls into other things. Clutch, rings, etc.Procharger and Paxton are making kits for them, should be ready in a few months from what they told me, I also want blower on a gt350, sorry 526HP isn't enough for me in 3600-3700lb car
Obvious issues? what are they? I have none, however I own a TP. I get the experience I was looking for and then some. I can say that my opinion of the car is echoed through many on this forum and the automobile world. I would post links of the various raving reviews for this car but it would take all day.As I said, the current performance level of this car for some is not enough. Makes you wonder, why did you get the car in the first place? Many reviews of the capabilities of this car were available months before ordering banks opened.The car isn't enough for some of us.
