    Manual Gear Lockout

    Is there no gear lockout on the MT82 manual? I have twice now shifted from 4th to 3rd while trying to grab 5th. The first time I though I had blown the engine as I shifted at around 7400 RPM and the engine just shut off. It took a few seconds but it started back up. (Nothing like the feeling of...

    Tampa Area Tuners

    I recently picked up my 7th stang and wanted some advise on Tampa area tuners. The car is a 2008 Shelby GT so it already has some of the Ford racing parts on it but from what I have read the tune is on the safer side. It has been a few years since I have been able to modify anything so most of...

    gainesville or orlando?

    Which track is better? i've been up to G'ville twice now to run and I'm not impresed with the track's bite. I know i won't do that great with streets and a stock suspension. But when I run, I spin going into 3rd, with a 100% stock setup. I tried moving my shift points from 5000 to 6000 rpms (24...

    99-04 cars 3rd gear question...

    Might sound a stupid but I have not owned a PI 4.6L before this. My car is stock 5sp. I can catch 3rd gear hard enough w/a granny shift to trip the traction control and leave rubber w/o it. Is this normal? Keep in mind that I bought this car used so I am not positive about the "stock" part. I am...
