Not sure if this is a normal thing or not...My 07 GT when sitting at a stop light or from a stop will occasionally "jump" or slightly move a little when I put it into gear...car has 47,xxx miles on it

driveline mods are..aluminum driveshaft, triax shifter, 4.10 gears.

it jumps with the clutch down to the floor?


Yes sir....when I say jump I am talking MAYBE an inch..probably not even noticeable from the outside but I can feel it through the driveline.

Not the first car I ever had that does this...and every one o fthem had a Triax shifter..coincidence?

your slave cylinder is going out. this was the exact symptoms i was having. replaced the slave, and all is good. if you're pulling the tranny to install a slave, it's also a good time to upgrade the clutch if you like to drag race...

UUGh....how long until it "goes, goes"? lol...Might would rather just give the car back to Ford than wave goodbye to $700+ right now. LOL..We are in the middle of a big move.

hard to say. mine was still working, but it was getting progressively harder to shift and get into gear from a stop
Did you do the work yourself? just out of curiosity
most things i do myself, but i don't have any help so this i didn't do
