Hi all,
greetings from Munich, Germany. I imported my 2008 Mustang GT Convertible from NY two years ago and enjoy cruising around the alps. (Yes, gas prices of almost $8/gallon do hurt).
It's a high mileage car (214k miles) and had a tranny swap 80k miles ago, before my ownership.
Last year it started developing transmission noise, which I now want to diagnose and subsequently fix. Since it's a pretty uncommon car here, it's hard to find someone that knows about the car and its issues.
So maybe you have some experience and can help me point in the right direction:
In 1st gear, under light load, the transmission rattles and clutters. Once in 2nd gear and up, as well as in neutral, there's nothing. There are no driveability issues, I even did 120mph on the autobahn last night without any issues.
There's no leakage, no excessive heat, no warning lights on the dash.
Last year I checked transmission fluid and made sure it's on the right level (and found Mercon V to put in!).
So what do you think the issue may be?
