    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    Opinion on automatic shifters I definitely agree with your last statement about the lynch mob. Maybe I should change my location information on here. I have a Predator tuner. I've set my shifts all to their firmest settings. For daily driving, that is silly to me though (for the...

    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    You're one of those people with "fur children" aren't you? Nah, just kidding. I get your point. Don't worry, I think I'll keep it. It's not that I thought it was a lowly car because it has an automatic. I was just wondering what the 5 speed world was like. People always bash "slushboxes"...

    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    Auto tranny mods? :) True. Asset value of the GT will hold a lot better. Nah, I don't rice out. :nono: I think that a better idea is to hold onto the GT, and when the next cool mustang comes out and i can afford it, grab the GT version of it in a 5 (or 6?) speed. Thanks for the...

    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    GT is winning. This seems overwhelming so far. GT is winning hands down. Maybe I should've asked this in the V6 forum! :D

    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    Fun factor? I don't have to drive in traffic much at all. I hardly do any "stop-and-go" driving. Yeah, the 4.10s aren't the greatest gas mileage mod. At the time though, gas wasn't 2.20 a gallon either. I get around 20 mpg now, or around 260 a tank. I feel like with the V6 5 speed...

    GT auto to V6 stick - is this a good or bad idea?

    Hey all. I need some opinions, quick! I'm going to look at a V6 Mustang tomorrow that's a 5 speed. The reason I'm interested in it is because of the 5 speed mainly, and better gas mileage. I'm wondering what you GT guys think. Do you think this is a terrible idea to downgrade 2...

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    I'm thinking I might try out a custom tune. There goes another $120. :( If they can adjust my partial throttle shifts though, that would be worth it to me I think.

    Undercoating for road noise?

    I see they have a spray-on dynamat. I wonder if that is any good?

    Undercoating for road noise?

    Has anyone had their car undercoated for noise reduction? If so, how much did it help, what did you use, did you have a shop do it, and what all is involved? I bought a can of professional undercoat from Advance Auto, but I haven't even sprayed it yet to see what it looks like. It was...

    Automatic shifting weird

    4.10 gears are so much shorter that it will run through 1st quick anyway. The only way to make an auto hang in first longer is to gas it more. :nice: Unless you tune it, of course. WOT shift points can be tuned with a Predator, but I hear that the XCalibrator 2 tunes Partial throttle...

    4.10's In An Auto "Video"!!

    4.10s are fine for going 70. You have to get used to the sound of your car going higher RPMs, but after that you'll love it. Feels really good there, right in the start of the powerband!

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    What makes a transmission shift smoothly? Thanks for the info. I'm not really looking for a monster car. I'm wanting to go more the looks route with it now. The 4.10's torque and the exhaust are pretty much all I am interested in doing do it. It costs enough to maintain the car as it is...

    4.10's In An Auto "Video"!!

    I have 4.10s in mine, and I like them a lot. I think you could get away with 3.73 if you wanted, too. 4.10 is pretty steep, but if you like lots of torque, I think they are worth it. You'll need your chip flashed or a programmer to set your car up for them. Mainly the speedometer I think...

    4.10's In An Auto "Video"!!

    Automatic though? None of those links work anymore, do they? Also, wasn't that in a manual, not an automatic transmission? I could be wrong. :shrug: I think the thread starter was looking for an auto trans vid.

    rear spoiler

    Spoiler actually works? Are you serious? I didn't think our spoiler helped with wind at all. I guess I could be wrong. :shrug:

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    I've heard of Torque Converter "shudder". Could this be the issue? If so, how is this fixed? Would a new torque converter fix the issue, or does the computer need to be adjusted?

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    Speedo reset only? (for auto) Stock stangs are just meant to be manuals. :D I would say the stock auto has a "sporty" shift feel to it. I think I will call my Ford dealer and see what they will charge to reflash my speedo for 4.10, and I'll take my predator tune completely out. Or...

    4.10 and Auto Tranny Shift Smoothness = other GT owners' opinions!

    Dang. Their "c" revision has the bug too. It must have traveled down the entire line of revisions. :mad: So, I can't use Factory HP Tune, even with "C". Guess I'll go install the "Diablo Tune" again. I'm not bothering with going back to "D". I'll just wait until they up the revision...

    Cold Air Intakes, what other things are needed after install if anything?

    I'd get the TrueFlow pipe and keep your stock filter, or use the TrueFlow in conjunction with the K&N drop-in filter. I like that setup, or simply stock best. Right now I have stock and am selling my TrueFlow because I just like the stock tube's fit better than anything I've tried (K&N FIPK...

    True. I would love to keep the 4.10s in. :D They are fuuuun! I'll look into that stuff. Thanks a lot!
