    The car dies when the Transmission shifts into 2nd, and it takes 10-15 seconds before it can actually shift into Reverse.

    Hello all, I am hoping someone might give advice here. I have an automatic transmission. My car dies when I use 2nd gear, and it takes about 10-15 seconds before it can actually shift into Reverse. I've read other forums, and they say it may be a bad shift solenoid or dirty filter. I am...

    Mustang shifting issues, very heavy clutch pedal and very hard to shift

    Hey guys, I have a 2002 mustang gt that has become increasingly hard to shift. The clutch is annoyingly heavy (to the point where it is challenging to feather it) and shifting the gears takes a ton of effort. I installed a new adjustable clutch cable kit a couple of months ago, which made the...

    Holding AOD in gear - responsibly

    I’ve searched about this and most people seem to want to drag race shifting an AOD manually. I simply enjoy holding it in 2nd on country roads to be in that 2-3k rmp range instead of 1k. If I ever downshift its at the right speed to feel smooth, and only one gear at a time, not on the throttle...

    Drivetrain Shifting issues

    So I’m rounding 3rd on my 10 year overhaul and rebuild of my 1997 4.6 Mustang GT and having shifting issues. Everything in front of the firewall is brand new. The transmission is the original but worked great before pulling it. It sat for 10 years without fluid, but the openings were...

    C4 Transmission has very delayed shifts

    Hi guys, I have a 1970 mustang with a 302 and a c4 select shift transmission. Recently the transmission has been delaying its shifts more frequently as time passes. I adjusted the vacuum modulator screw to reduce the delay and it has not worked (3 full turns counterclockwise). As of right now...

    Drivetrain Convert Paddleshifters To Shift Knob Shifters

    I recently got a 2016 EB Mustang Premium and love it, except for one thing - the paddle shifters. I have always preferred the manual mode in the automatic, but the paddleshifts are very awkward while making turns and in some other situations. Is it possible to install a stick shift with the...

    Noob Question

    So I just bought an 07 v6 mustang coupe that was obviously well taken care of as there isn't a scuff anywhere on it. I'm pretty sure it's all stock yet. I havnt driven stick in about 8 years so I'm just wondering roughly where people usually shift at. My last stick was a little Chevy Aveo POS...

    Best Shift Point??

    So I've been debating what the best place to shift at is when doing a hard pull. Normally i shift slightly above redline right about 6000-6100. I know the max hp is at 5250 rpm so that is about 800 rpm above peak hp. But with my stock 3.27 rear end, when i shift i drop down to 3900-4000 rpm...

    Rotational Torque And Weight Transfer = Manual Transmission Shift Issues

    This may be a bit long, so bear with me. I have a 2016 Ford Mustang GT with 6-speed manual, non-PP. I have noticed on several other forums and even Edmonds.com and Road and Track (I believe) had articles dealing with complaints of Manual Transmission on the S550 ('15+) and even the prior...
