    I always thought the "clunk/bang" was a noise from the rear end and not the transmission. I haven't had any notchiness or grinding when shifting from 1st to 2nd since I had mine fixed, but I still hear the clunk noise. I told the service manager about it and they are calling it "normal" and...

    It was about 53 where I live this morning, and mine is shifting like butter. Before the fix, it would have been really "notchy"

    Oh... I thought you was talking about the transmission problem. The problem you are having, I am also having and they won't fix mine either. I believe it is a problem in the rear end. Too much "free play". I can be driving really slow and hear it, especially if I turn a corner with the cutch in...

    Yes, it is BS. Keep after them. Show them the TSB.

    Maybe you could take it to another dealer. I thought that since there is a TSB out, that means that proves there is a problem and if you complain about it, then they have to fix it. They don't see the problem because they don't drive a mustang with this problem everyday like you or me or anyone...

    want brighter lights

    I haven't had any problems. They are the same amps as the stock bulbs. It's just the xenon gas in the bulbs that make them brighter.

    I still have the stock shifter myself. :) Someday I would like to get a Tri-Ax or a Pro-5.0 though.

    Why do you hate shifting to 3rd? All you have to do when you shift from 2nd to 3rd it just push it up without looking for 3rd. It goes right in. As you are upshifting, 5th is the only gear you have to "look for".

    It's too bad they won't fix it anyway. I think they should. It's an obvious defect that they should correct under warranty or not especially if you complained about it before the warranty expired. I got lucky. I had only 6,000 miles left on my warranty.

    Mine was done under warranty. With parts and labor, it costs around $2000.

    Not me anyway. Mine runs like a top now. I'd take your car back in. From your recent posts, it sounds like there is other big problems that need fixed. Hopefully they will just replace the whole transmission for you next time.

    When I pull into a parking lot and I'm in 2nd and push in the clutch as I'm slowing down, there is a clank clank clank sound that I feel isn't normal but it doesn't do that at any other time, so it really don't bother me much. It does bother me, but I know that nothing would be done about it if...

    Go see your Ford service manager and tell him what the problem is and mention that there is a TSB # 04-15-06 to fix this and that the kit # is 3R3Z-7124-AC. They will fix it free for you under warranty. TSB stands for Technical Service Bulletin. This covers 2001 to 2003 Mustang GT's with the...

    Question: What Kind Of Gas Do You Put In Your Pony?... Does It Matter?

    I buy the gas with 10% ethanol. I never buy anything else. I have found that I get better gas mileage with it. It's also better for your engine. Besides, anything to keep from putting money in the Arab's pockets is A-OK with me.

    Ask to speak with the service manager. You will get nowhere in my experience with the service advisors. Tell him about your shifting problem (you probably aready did) and that there is a TSB that fixes this. It's a problem with the 2001 to 2003 transmissions and this is what the TSB covers. Tell...

    After putting about 400 miles on the car after the fix (the TSB states there is a 400 mile break in period), I have noticed that the shifting is even better and I have also noticed that there isn't anymore vibration and vibration noise from the shifter. I am completely satisfied with this fix...
