    09-10 cmcv removal

    I'm curious what your results were. I lost 2 MPG in city an gained 2 tenth on my rolling start test strip (got similar results to a BMW 335i R6 bi-turbo)

    New to the S197 Community What’s Your Favorite Mod?

    Comfort: the noise insulation of the roof, quarter panels, trunk and doors. Nobody needs air and tire noise. I wish I would have done this in week one. Handling: Swaybars from the 2014 and LCA from J&M with the PU heim joints. Aerodynamic: Flat front under tray, less lift and noise on/off the...

    Tick identification please

    You hear normal engine noises more pronounced through the open breather?

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    I see. I can drive in the same way, but have to release the pedal fully a tenth of a second before pressing the clutch.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Well, the stock "tune" configuration has the same and the newer stock S550 also. My guess Ford focused on automatic transmission cars much more than on manual with driving. In automatic cars there is no need to release the pedal before shifting. And in automatic cars there is no sudden drop of...

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    That is what I don't understand. If I release the pedal, the TB should close and the engine should not rev up. None of my other cars, who have all electronic TBs, have this.

    Hanging idle in between shifts

    Is the car new to you? It has a strange way of changing gears. If you're used to drive other manual transmission cars you usually get off the pedal and press the clutch simultaneously but not with this car. The car revs up if you do it this way, I release the pedal first completely and press the...

    Electrical issues with my 2006 mustang GT

    They are from WAI Global China Is it true that the automatic cars do not have a clutch pulley?

    Should I get a tune?

    I try to conclude: If I change the ignition timing to lower values, I get a higher cylinder pressure but also shift the pressure maximum closer to TDC and do not have a benefit of it. But, if I can close the intake valve later and therefore have a higher cylinder filling, I also have a higher...

    Manual Trans drain refill 2012 v6

    Throw your statins away ;) Worst manual I ever had was/is a Mercedes manual transmission. No way to fast shift, when it is freezing impossible to get into 2nd, the grease on the splines gets pushed away when hot and the pedal feel is like squeezing a rubber boat and from 1st to 2nd it feels...

    What have you done to your mustang today?

    Off topic: MDs like to diagnose carpal tunnel syndrome, because they can generate lots of money with a hand surgery. Often it is a thoracic outlet syndrome which can be treated by physiotherapy and simple shoulder workout instead. Ask me how I know ;)

    Parking brake cable... different ??

    Take a look at https://www.bowdenzug24.com. I would measure the cable size and DIY. I just did similar for my vintage Fichtenmoped ;) (German slang for two stroke chain saw, spruce scooter)

    Driveshaft - transmission - u-joint angle ?

    On page one, the picture with the red circles. The left has a deeper U shaped form. On the flat type I could push the shaft 5 mm up without any resistance from the rubber. My guess is that this was a wrong production?
