    Installed Hurst Comp Plus Shifter

    Hey dro, No need to take a breather.....I'm not irked and hopefully you're not either... FWIW you have a point...and you could be 100% right; it could be the Hurst shifter or a bad install. I'm just saying that I can say 100% for sure (due to my own personal experience) that it can be...

    Installed Hurst Comp Plus Shifter

    I think that's flawed logic...there are plenty of possible vibration noise sources on any car and just because YOUR e-brake wasn't noisy YET doesn't mean that someone else isn't experiencing the problem or that you might not experience it in the future. If the problem didn't exist MGW...

    ROUSH SHIFTER NOISE ?????HELP

    You might also try squeezing the e-brake handle plastic cover when you hear the rattle. Mine rattled like crazy and I thought it was the knob and/or shifter mechanism for a long time until I isolated it to the e-brake handle. It seems like if the knob is tight and you have a jam nut it'd...

    Installed Hurst Comp Plus Shifter

    MGW? :rlaugh: You ARE the one that said above "It does rattle a bit, but thats part of the fun.", right? Hey, I'm not trying to poke fun at your misfortune or turn this thread into another MGW vs Hurst thread (there's already one of those started) but rattles and difficulty shifting into...

    RP Sychromesh in TR3650

    What's everyone's take on warranty issues if you use the RP? (I know it was briefly discussed in another thread). After reading all the stories of transmission warranties being denied due to aftermarket shifters installed (I briefly had a Hurst and now have a MGW) I'm paranoid about making...

    ROUSH SHIFTER NOISE ?????HELP

    You have the (a) jam nut installed under the Roush knob, right? You might try some teflon tape (like for plumbing) on the threads of the shifter handle to make it more tight.

    Side View of the 2010 Mustang Interior

    I agree. The interior looks fantastic (love the side panels and control knobs, cleaned-up console, seat stitching, etc) other than the vents. They should have kept the cool round vents or gone to ALL rectangular vents. I also hate the integrated radio setups. My last car was a Cadillac...

    Tail Light Bezel - Stainless or Chrome Plastic?

    I've got the chromed plastic and think they actually look nicer than the aluminum since they're domed (not flat) and look more 'retro' in that respect. Also, since most "chrome" on cars is plastic these days I'm not too concerned about it peeling...if it does I guess I'll peel the trim off...

    Shuddering sound

    HOW MANY thousands of miles did it take? Also, is it normal for these transmissions to 'bump' into gear? At times my shifts are smooth but when the car is cold it's difficult to get it into reverse, the noise we're talking about (chatter, throwout bearing, whatever) is present, and often...

    question for ASE mechanics

    I changed mine to synthetic at 1200 miles and always have done it at under 1200 miles whenever I get a new car (regardless of whether synthetic was already in it). I've heard you don't have to with new cars but I guess I'm superstitious.

    Improving Handling W/out Lowering??

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I stopped halfway in to my garage yesterday to see what kind of clearance I had (very steep driveway) and found I have less than an inch between the rocker panel and garage floor :mad:

    2010 Ford Mustang Center Console and Climate Control

    So far this is the ONLY shot that's made me think I should have waited for a 2010. I think the design of the console and climate controls, shifter boot and handle, etc are much improved. I also like the steering wheel and the contrasting seat stitching. Other than the gold color (reminds me...

    Shuddering sound

    I'm still thinking it's throwout bearing related (or at least that's what mine sounds like)...

    I don't even have 3k on mine and I think it's making a similar sound....

    Recaro Seats From Speedware?

    Surprisingly, the seats in my 08' GT are the best "factory" seats I've ever had in any car. It's one of the only things I DON'T have the urge to upgrade!

    Installed Hurst Comp Plus Shifter

    Now that I've got the MGW I wonder how much of the Hurst rattling is caused by the e-brake? My Hurst rattled...then I installed the MGW and it was silent for a day then started rattling worse than the Hurst. After completing the MGW "e-brake rattle fix" with some Dynamat the rattle is...
