    Five days ago I rebulid T5 tranny and now I have two problems

    Check to make sure you got a 50oz imbalance flywheel first. I have made this mistake on a stroker motor, it did almost exactly what you discribed. This will destroy the engine if you beat on it for long. If it is a zero balance flywheel or a 20oz imbalance flywheel, you have thrown the...

    Hey, more power to ya, people like you without the ESP, are the ones I make the most money off of. I don't get paid crap warranty times from ford, I get paid out of your pocket. :nice:

    Ron Jeremy is completely correct about the extended warranty. I work at a ford dealer, I would never buy or let anyone I know buy a new car without ESP. When I do a transmission repair, and the total bill is $3000 for parts and labor, I would say a $1500 warranty is worth it. Any of you...

    05 5spd Automatic

    While I would agree with you about the weight being less, which should help durability a little, I doubt many explorers are driven as hard as alot of people are gonna be driving these new stangs. Plus alot of the problems I deal with are not durability related, they have many valvebody...

    05 5spd Automatic

    Same tranny, they are both 5r55 trannys. This tranny is a pos. I am the tech that said so before. This trans was not built for strength. This is basically a redesigned A4LD, which is the same trans they used to put in 4 cyl foxbodies and bronco II's. I get to work on these all the time...

    The Complaint Department

    I could give 2 *****s about IRS. Majority of people could careless about IRS. I would much rather have the solid 8.8 back there. I have driven 99 and 01 cobra's and I have driven tons of other 4.6 and 5.0 powered GT's. IRS mean nothing. You make it obvious yourself because you are b*tching...

    New mustang in car and driver.

    While I really like the new styling of the 2005, aerodynamic it must not be. God I can hear the damn F-body guys now pissing and moaning about how there 3 year old car is so much more aerodynamic and has such a better cd. :nonono:

    4.0 V6 in the base 05 mustang

    There might be a few out there with some of these problems, but compared to the SOHC 4.0 they are a dream. I can only go by what I see here where I work. And we just don't see them in here. The 2.5 came out before the 3.0 so I would guess ford has taken care of it.

    4.0 V6 in the base 05 mustang

    I was just saying that the oil leaks is about the only problem these engines have. Compared to major internal engine problem, I don't consider an oil leak a big deal. Just about any engine ford makes(or anybody else for that matter) has a problem with oil leaks eventually.

    4.0 V6 in the base 05 mustang

    The 4.0 sohc has not been without its problems. Numerous timing chain tensioner problems in the explorers. They tend to make rattling noises from this problem. The 4.0 sohc is a decent powermaker, but durability has not been its strong point. They now have a tsb for replacing all the...

    overweight rumor won't die

    Some of you guys worry way too much. Ford says its gonna weigh around 3400lbs. Why doubt this. Why would ford lie about this. If they say now that it is gonna weigh 3425lbs and when it comes out it weighs 3650lbs they would look really stupid. They were honest about the 03 Cobra weight, why...

    5spd auto

    I kinda agree about the 6spd. It would be nice to have that .80 5th gear. Thing that sucks about any five speed from the T5-3650 is if you put some 3.73's or better in the car, your pretty much redlined at 120mph in 4th. Now you could always shift to 5th, but its such a big drop off going...

    5spd auto

    The 5spd auto would be a good if it was a 5spd auto worth having. The 5R55 line of trannys are junk. They have tons of problems in the 2002+ explorers that I get the joy of working on everyday now. Don't plan on doing many mods to the auto 05 stangs without grenading a few trannys.

    2005 Blower?s

    5th gear in the 5R55 is not that steep. Its about the same as 4th gear in the 4R70W currently in the mustangs. This tranny will not hold with more hp than stock. The gears are spaced really nice in the 5R55 and should allow good performance stock. But overall the trans is junk. While this...

    Hot Rod /Motor Trend Threads In here

    Any of you guys b*tching about the 3650 manual trans really aren't gonna like the 5R55* auto. This tranny is junk. I work on these everyday in the new explorers. This tranny can't even handle the 240hp the 4.6 explorer puts out, let alone 300hp.
