this is my first post, but I am new to the s197 scene, although I have been around the mustang scene as far back as I can remember. I recently purchased an 06 gt from a buddy, and now something is broke lol.
the car is an 06 gt hardtop, with a 5.0 stroker shortblock, cnc ported heads, all the bolt-on goodies, and a whipple 2.3 maing about 15lbs of boost. the car dyno'd 586 rwhp if I remember correctly when it was tuned.
the problem is that when I went to pass someone on the highway, the car downshifted and started climbing but then it was like the car had the clutch pushed in and went into neutral.
the transmission is a built unit, and has a tci converter, and aftermarket trans cooler. no noises come from the transmission when the car is idling, and the park brake still holds. it rows through the gears just fine, but will not move forwards or backwards. I was told it could be the input shaft but haven't jacked the car up yet. I am going to start working on the car here soon, and was just curious what I should look for as a potential fail point. I have been told it could be the input shaft but I don't have much experience with these cars, or even auto's in general
thanks
