    The "new"? automatic transmission

    The 5R55S 5-speed automatic is used in the Explorer, there is another 5R55? used by the Jaguar/Lincoln LS and Thuderbird. Is Ford making a 6-speed RWD automatic already?

    2 Silver 05's Spotted in LA!!

    That is weird, yesterday around noon here in Bellflower, CA (LA metro area), I saw a car with the black and white spots and the Ford badge on the grid, I can almost swear it was the Ford 500, so my guess is that Ford is doing some testing here in LA area :nice:

If you have an scanner or a PC based OBD II scanner (I have one now) you...

    SICK OF AOD, what 5-SPEED IS BEST?

    Why don't you get a shift kit like TransGo, It really wakes up your transmission, I installed it myself when I had the 4R70W and it really made a difference and my old ride a lot more enjoyable and faster. Research for it and you will probably like it, besides it is a much cheaper alternative...

    The best news we could get beofre the 05 bows

    Probably they average the "big 3" problems and they said they were worst by "6" vs japanese brands, probably if the take only Ford and GM the diference would be a lot closer. I found that VW is the worst european brand and their quality is worst than American brands, almost as bad as Hyundai...

    $3-$4 a Gallon for Premium Gas + 18 mpg Mustang

    Add to that the 04 Cobra 17/24 with 390hp, about the same as the 300hp turbo 4cyl Sti. People doesn't relize that 8cyl delivers good mpg for the hp provided, for example, Mustang GT delivers 18/26mpg, The M3 with a 6 cyl delivers 16/23mpg (worst than the 04 Cobra and less hp than the Cobra)...

    What does Japan think?

    No, actually the Corvette gets better mpg: Corvette Coupe Manual (350Hp): 19-28mpg Corvette Z06 Manual (405Hp): 19-28mpg Mustang Cobra (390Hp): 17-24mpg Subaru WRX Sti (300Hp): 18-24mpg Mitsubishi Lancer Evo (271Hp): 18-26mpg Notice that even though the Cobra produces more power and...

    Is it risky to buy 05 mustang this year?

    We (costumers) want great products with great quality, if Ford cant do it then there are many other brands willing to do it and doing it already. I'm sure you guys at Ford can do it!!!, but first you have to prove it to the world outside, then costumers will come back and market share will...

    Live axel saves $300 on 2005 Stang

    A $300 dollars in materials in the factory does not mean a $300 in the MSRP or a $300 option, the reflected price difference or cost of the option for the customer is usually several times the original cost of the parts.

    spring install from hell

    I followed the instructions from: http://www.mustangworld.com/ourpics/fcar/steedaspring1.htm I just disconnected both rear shocks, lift the car and left the axle hanging, the spring came out easy, I did everything by myself, front and rear, shocks struts and springs.

    The old body had the cons of the handling, but I fixed it with the Mustang Mach 1 suspention for my GT, and the welded subframes connectors killed any possible squeak or rattle, I got them when my GT was only 200 miles :nice: About the 05 GT, the only thing I don't like is that is going to...

    Which Stang are you going for? The V-6 or the V-8?

    I want a 4.6L SOHC 3-Valves VCT forged-internals Supercharged with a 6-speed manual and Solid Rear Axle :nice: , Cobra would be nice but I don't think it will come like that, and I'm not crazy about DOHC and IRS.

    Does your car whistle after Plenum and Throttle Body??

    Usually Accufab makes TB in such way that they don't whistle. My 70mm Accufab TB doesn't whistle.
