    Eibach pro-kit lowering springs installation advice

    Upper strut mounts are a good upgrade to do while you are in there. I didn't upgrade mine when I first lowered my 06 GT and after some time, one failed and starting having a clunk/pop noise. I replaced mine with MM caster camber plates but you can get GT500 upper mounts as an upgrade as well.

    ET and MPH Issues

    Looking at the datalog, the TCC Desired Slip is showing 1020 all the way through the pass until 4th gear at 5246 RPM when Des Slip goes to 0 correlating with Actual Slip dropping almost to 0 which is also where the RPM drops by about 300.

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    We're you on a road race track or 1/4 Mile drag strip? My transmission isn't getting close to overheating by the end of the drag strip.

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    The only thing I can think is it was left low when the converter was installed but not sure I only recently experienced issues. The car hasn't been driven much the last few years so maybe I just didn't drive it enough to notice symptoms. I'll check it again after driving it some more. I have...

    ET and MPH Issues

    I agree with you, car feels sluggish in the second half of the track. The RPM drop in 4th gear when the TC locked up is also concerning. I need to find someone to look at the transmission - have a bad feeling it's hurt.

    ET and MPH Issues

    Here are some of my historical passes. First one was in 2012. Didn't race for 7 years. Next 3 were on a hot night in September (90 degree air). Last 2 were Friday night in perfect air.

    ET and MPH Issues

    As an update here, there is definitely something up with the car. The transmission started slipping into neutral randomly when I would come to a stop at times. Giving throttle would get back into 1st gear. Found out the transmission was 2 quarts low on oil. Fluid wasn't burnt looking or...

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    Thank you for the details here. After reviewing how much fluid I cycled out versus how much I added (checking level while trans temp in proper range and car running), the trans was actually 2 quarts low. I have never seen a leak under my car or oil left behind anywhere. No evidence of leak under...

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    I hope it's nothing major for you! Yes, please keep me posted. As an update for me, I bought a fill adapter for $13 and with car at operating temp, it did take about 2/3 of a quart to be full. I let it cool off, drained some oil, it is not burnt and looks normal for used oil. I cycled in about...

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    Thanks for all the replies. Let some oil out to check it and it looks in need of changing but not burnt so that is good. No metal bits in what I saw. Filled it back up (was about 2/3 qrt low) then cycled a few more quarts in. If it still misbehaves, going to take it in.

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    What is the best way to leave 3-4 dl over the full level with the way it's pumped in through the bottom of the plug? Wouldn't it continue to drip out until at the full line or do you just add extra and then quickly screw in the torx bolt?

    5R55S slipping into Neutral at stop

    Hi everyone, I tried searching and couldn't find much out there. I have an 06 auto with a Circle D stalled 5R55S and at times when I come to a somewhat quick stop, it seems the transmission drops into neutral. If I give it some gas, it will engage back into 1st and drive normally again without...

    Parts Transfer 2006 to 2011/2012 GT

    Yeah, but to me, it's more attractive to just buy an 11-13 GT than take on the work effort and cost to swap in a Coyote motor and 6R80.

    Parts Transfer 2006 to 2011/2012 GT

    The falling costs of the gen1 5.0s is what has led me to my decision point. Current mods: Corsa axle backs, UDP, BMR (Swaybar del, LCA, adj. UCA, adj. PH bar, springs, A Arms), D-Spec, C&L Street CAI, 4.10s, Race Star wheels, Offroad H, Spydershaft, Circle D 3600 stall, and Bama tune. Best ET...
