I have one more month left of the factory warranty. Im taking the car into to Ford tommorow to get everything checked out and replace what they can under the warranty if needed.
what else should I check out? so I can have it replaced for free

my car has 30,000KMS

if your dealership is at all like a normal dealership, they will use your mods to void your warranty.

actually my dealership is really good, the service manager knows of my mods and if they arent the cause of defects he will replace them.
I have a King Cobra Clutch and he replaced the T.O.B under warranty.

i envy you then
i'd have them check everything out if i were you. my mom had a nissan altima and the visit she did right before the warranty ran out came up with no big problems, and as soon as the warranty ran out she needed new brakes and all sorts of other crap. i took her car to a friend's shop and they did all the work for a good price. needless to say she bought her next car at another dealership

Go ahead and break the transmission, so you can start off with a new one.

I dunno I think its kinda hard breaking the T3650.

When I was still learning stick, some BMW was revving at me at a light, so ofcourse I go.

Now instead of shifting from 4th to 5th, I rammed it from 4th to 3rd (AT THE TOP OF 4TH: 5,400RPMS!!)...My transmission made a huge 'ERRRR' noise, and my car went sideways HARD, I had difficulty keeping it on the road, but managed it. I put it in nuetral, and just rolled over onto the shoulder. I just keep saying kiss me, kiss me, kiss me. I shut off the car for like 5 minutes because I was afraid to turn it back on, and try to drive it.

Well, 5 minutes later I turned the car on, and everything was perfect with the transmission? To this day, everything is still perfectly fine with the transmission and clutch, and engine.

I have a little over 30 days left on the warranty. Here is my idea, let me know what you think. I was thinking of taking the stang to one dealership and paying them for the full inspection that they do. Then taking it to my regular dealership for service based on the inspection results.

It would be great if you guys could chime in on specific components I should definitely have checked out. My dealership does not care much about voiding warranty. Even after seeing the flamethrower and my homemade intake and other small stuff. They appreciate the work since they get paid for it from ford. They replaced the little things I complained about. Any input will be greatly appreciated.
