Hey Guys,
For the past 2 weeks, I have been experiencing a High idle and hard shifting on my 99 GT 5 speed.
here's what happens....
I start up the car (sat over night) and no problems. Once the car warms to operating temp, the idle goes up to 3000 rpms and stays there when sitting at a light. If I push in the clutch and slowly let it out (but not all the way out), the idle starts dropping to norm (700) but I have to hold the clutch in this position at all times while stopped to keep the rpm's from going back up. If I turn off the car and back on the problem goes a way but returns after a few minutes.
It also becomes very hard to shift gears and almost impossible to get it into reverse.
A year ago I had a new clutch put in at the ford service center. no problems til now.
I took the car to a mech who said the tranny (I changed the fluid within the past year) was on its way out and would be $1500.00 + to rebuild it. the car has 93,000 + miles on it.
Do you gus think this mech is on target as I have also learned that the problem may be the pilot bearing instead?
what do you guys think?
my mods = accufab 75mm TB, 75 mm C&L plenum, 1/2" intake spacer, Mustang CAI
Thanks,
