    2015 gained weight?

    I would bet the main reasons for weight gain are handling/braking and IRS. With the computer design programs they have, you would think about the only thing left to gain chassis stiffness /braking/handling is to add material to the chassis. Light weight materials costs go up like normally...

    Rod Side Clearance Issue?

    Glad you found it. I have seen the side clearance issue you had also come from rods not being perfectly aligned when tightened down, IE the caps would be offset a touch. The way to avoid this is to use feeler gauges (two, one on each side) between the rods to hold everything in place while...

    transmission or clutch problem???

    The stock system is prone to problems from not enough throw out bearing movement caused by too much clearance between the throw out bearing and the clutch fingers.

    3650 wont engage

    Are you saying it won't go INTO gear, or is it going into gear and not moving under power? One thing to check is the throwout bearing to clutch disc fingers distance. You have to remove the trans, place a straight edge across the trans bellhousing, squeeze the TB all the way down, and measure...

    TOB shim?

    I put in a new clutch in my 2006 GT and the clutch drags. I think I will need shims to put behind the throwout bearing to add to what was sent with the clutch kit to make up the difference of resurfacing the flywheel. Anybody sell these?

    2013 gt with annoying vibration above 55. anyone else?

Both cars were manual five speeds with 3.55 gears in the rear. Both cars had this problem from the day I drove...
