    Magnapacks Installed! WOW!

    I read at magnaflow.com that putting on a Magnaflow or a Magnapack can boost your horsepower by an approx. 10% so going from a stock hp of 260, you may now have around 286 hp. What did your coworkers think about them?

    Magnapacks Installed! WOW!

    I've been wanting either Magnaflow's or Magnapack's. You say the Magnapack's are loud as hell? Is it so loud that it's annoying?

    Double clutching is using the clutch twice to shift one gear. For example, when you want to shift from 1st to 2nd, push the clutch in and shift to the neutral position and release clutch. Push the clutch in again and shift to 2nd.

    I feel the same way. If Ford doesn't fix this and soon, I will NEVER buy another new or used Ford vehicle again. They know about it. They just don't want to pay they money it will cost to fix every Mustang with this transmission. I feel that ignoring this, is really a bad business practice. You...

    I sure hope Ford fixes this problem by putting out a TSB. But until then, just be gentle in shifting from 1st to 2nd. Never force it! I've been shifting to 2nd at 10mph or below in cold weather which usually makes a half way smooth shift. Or I've found 3 different things to keep it from...

    03 GT oil change?

    They must have made the pan bigger in the 2002+ GT. If your manual says 5 quarts for a 2001 GT, that's what you should use. My manual for my 2002 GT says 6 quarts. After changing the oil and putting on a new filter, I run the engine for a minute and shut the engine off. I check the oil, and it's...

    Traction Control off

    From the owners manual... Wheel-speed sensors allow excess rear wheel spin to be detected by the Traction Control portion of the ABS computer. Any excessive wheel spin is controlled by automatically applying and releasing the rear brakes in conjunction with engine torque reductions. Engine...

    03 GT oil change?

    I have a question to anyone that changes their own oil in a 99 to 04 GT. How do you take off the filter without getting oil all over the place? The oil filter is in a crappy position and there are things in the way and it makes it hard taking it off without making a mess. This is the only car...

    Traction Control off

    GT's don't have limited slip (maybe the automatics but not the manual transmissions). You know you have limited slip when you spin out the tires and only one tire spins (one black mark). On my car (2002 GT), if I leave a black mark, there is 2 tracks which means to me NO LIMITED SLIP. The next...

    03 GT oil change?

    The V6 uses 5 quarts. The V8 (GT) uses 6 quarts. If you look in your owners manual, it shows you that, or you can go here http://www.brianmefford.com/refill_capacities.jpg I took a screen shot of the page that shows you how much oil to use.

    It seems to me that we have all tried to get this resolved through our dealer without success. Some of us have also contacted Ford's Customer Relationship Center in Dearborn, Michigan without much success. I have found one more place we can contact. Maybe we can try this and get something done...

    03 GT oil change?

    02 GT's hold 6 quarts. Don't know where you got that info...(?) It states that in the owners manual and is what I put in. I use Motorcraft 5W-20. After doing an oil change, I start the car and let it run for a minute. I then shut it off and check the oil. The oil line is right where it should be.

    Traction Control off

    The Traction Control will kick on when it detects wheel spin at all. If I'm going in a straight line on a road with ice or snow and step on the accelerator enough that the wheels spin, the engine immediately slows down. You don't have to be going sideways like some other people mentioned before...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I wish people that are having this transmission problem would call 1-800-392-3673 (FORD) and let them know of this problem. I just called them and they said that the more people call, the more likely this will be fixed through a TSB. Also a dealer won't fix this problem just by telling them...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    I wonder if we all sent a complaint to the address below, or called the 800# if they would finally realize that this is really an issue with this transmission that needs fixed? If they got thousands of letters or calls, maybe they would quit ignoring this. When you spend $25,000.00+ for a car...

    I don't understand why there would have to be a TSB or a Recall. In the warranty book, it states... Your satisfaction is our #1 goal. If you have any questions or concerns with your vehicle, we suggest you follow these steps: 1. Contact your Sales Representative or Service Advisor at your...
