I got a 2008 GT. I have been PLAGUED with clunking noise but finally figured all out. After installing Ford Racing lowering P springs and jounce bumper stops, Billstein HD shock and struts, SR double adj panhard bar, GT500 strut mounts, Moog inner tie rod and sway bar end links, and OPR outer...

I got a 2008 GT. 131K, road course tracked somewhat regularly, still going strong. Only regular maintenance. Lots of upgraded parts though: tuned, Steeda CAI, Ford Racing P Springs, Bilstein HD shocks and struts, GT500 front control arms and strut mounts, BMR rear upper, lower arms, mount...

Thx for response guys. So i got a response from BMR. Since I dont have LCA mounts, BMR was thinking position 2 or 3. Based on what i am reading above, and my desire for stronger launches, I am leaning towards leaving it in position two (middle hole). Maybe my mechanic surmised this...idk. I...

RocketcarX: i wonder if that stock position is still best if car is lowered, even just one inch? So what do you think about that #2 position my mechanic stuck that bolt in?

Clean looking car! Love them 197s!

My 2008 GT was suffering a clunking noise in the rear. Only heard it when going slow but it seriously felt and sounded like rear end was falling apart. Replaced rear UCA and LCA, UCA mount and the differential bushing. All BMR from AM. The clanking went away. Only noise back there now is...

Thx Red09GT. The car feels ok now. But haven't tracked her since the mod. I think it should be fine tho since Im kind of a beginner anyway and not too sure I will feel much difference at my skill level. Just glad it won't add any premature wear tear. Again appreciate feedback.

Hello. Thx for response. Yes. 1,2,3. If u look at the attached photo which I pulled off the internet (only difference is my upper control arm is NOT adjustable as the one in the photo), the hole the bolt is running through would be the correct hole to use...lets call it position "1" of 3...

Hello. 2008 Ford Mustang GT. I just bought BMR non-adjustable rear, upper and lower control arms, BMR rear upper control arm frame mount, and a BMR rear upper control arm differential bushing (the bushing attaching the rear upper control arm to the differential). The car is lowered only...

Update: just changed my tran oil with Ford Motorcraft Mercon V. Guys...I think I got lucky. The Stang switches much smoother again! Feels about as good as it did before my little incident at the track. Goes into reverse about as good as it did before. At least I am not noticing any...

Hi guys. Sorry for late reply...had to work. Wow man... I was not anticipating rebuilding the tranny myself. I guess I'm pretty mechanically inclined although I'm somewhat lazy to do things. LOL. I will definitely look into all suggestions mention. I'm going to start with the easy one and...

Slackinoff and 46addict: I like them suggestions. Its kind of weird, I just got back from testing out the car. Oddly, it now shifts (not quite butterly smooth as b4 incident but a little bit better than after) and goes into reverse with little difficulty, but also not smooth. I think i will...

Wow. This is gonna be expensive. Yikes.

Oh man, I was hoping not to hear that word "rebuild." Red09GT: so you would think any "transmission" shop would be OK with our cars? Speedboosted: 6060 trans cost? What would be the advantage of using a 6060?

Slackinoff: i hope thats all it is. Hope hope. Skwerl: if i did trash the synchros, what's the usual fix? Expensive?? Aa always, thx for responses.

I found a somewhat similar post under "transmission issues" but not quite same. Thought I'd ask this. So I just finished a track day. While going at near redline RPM and shifting from 2nd to 3rd, stupid me . . . I grinded the gear . . . twice. Ouch! My bad. They were very loud and I...

Interesting. Thanks for all the input. I decided to trash RP go with Mobile 1 syn ATF. :)

I like that red stripe on white!

Yes...from this forum and others looks like RP is not too good. Wow, its kind of odd as it gets good reviews on certain websites.

Good grief 06 TRed..GT...lighten up. Its just a question. Sorry if it offended you! Lol...kill me im a newbee.

Royal Purple Synchromax Trans oil. Ok. I apologize ahead of time. This issue has come up b4. But I desire definitive answer . . . if there is one. Many say its not good for the 2008 Mustang GT. I read this S197 model is a T-3650 transmission . . . not sure if this is correct. Many...

Update: tracked it a few weeks ago... CAR HELD UP GREAT! Oh man...I am addicted! Will be tracking it again in about a month. It was totally fun. :) Did nearly everything suggested. Thx all!!

Hello. Thx all for your responses. I'm gonna look into all suggestions. Really appreciate it!

ha1234: I had my mechanic stick on the springs. Everything that came with the Ford Racing P springs was installed...I am assuming correctly because when I first got the car back I did not hear that noise. Instead, I heard a dropping clank noise which was fixed by subsequently sticking on the...

Interesting suggestions. I'll look into them. 2526Bullitt: the odd thing about the A arms is the noise was there before I upgraded them from stock, thinking the problem would be solved. But after the new A arms were put in, the noise was still there. Ill check and retighten...
