    03 GT, third gear issues.

    Hey guys, well I have just over 11k miles on my 03 GT, as of lately, third gear has been giving me some problems. A week ago, when shifting into third on a little run, it didn't get into gear, I'm sure I had the clutch in all the way, but maybe I didn't, but it didn't go in. I tried it...

    How to tell if 03 GT isn't running as fast as it should be?

    I have an 03 GT, stock with just flows. Even though I beat my friends E36 M3, beat an SS in 1/2 gear, and barely lost to a 96 Vr-4, I sometimes think this car should be faster. I know it's most likely all in my head, but is there some sort of thing that can confirm it? I heard there was a TSB...

    Silver Color question, please read.

    I want to swap trunks with someone who doesn't have a wing, however it's an 01 V6, my car is an 03 GT. I looked online and the 01 silver color is just called silver, and the 03 gt's color is called silver metallic. I haven't had a chance to put the cars side by side, but are they both the same...

Im kinda dissapointed, bout 50% of my driving in the freeway is w/no traffic, and the other 50% is with traffic. Plus I drive it on the streets occasionally..what gas mpg do...

    Slower car w/fuel light on???

    Hey guys, I've noticed that when the fuel light is on or there isn't that much gas left in the car, for some reason it doesn't pull as strong. Is it just my imagination or does the car turn "lean" when there isn't that much gas left?

    What are the chances of getting an interior squeak fixed by taking it to the dealer?

    Eversince my car had about 100 miles on it, there has been this god awful creak/squeak from teh back passenger side seat that shows its presence everytime the car get's moving or there is a sudden surge such as braking or stomping on it. That's about the only interior squeak/rattle that really...

    Clutch or traction?

    For some reason, im beginning to think that the clutch on my 5,400 mile 03' GT is starting to go bad on me. I ran thru 1st gear on the freeway onramp and when I shifted into 2nd it peeled and the rpm's just stayed at 4k rpm until I got traction then it went up to redline. Im still able to...

    03 GT' Dipstick error? TSB?

    When I did my oil change today, I filled up 6 qts with a new oil filter, but the oil was barely on the dipstick. Right near the MIN mark. I didn't fill up the 7th quart and did some research, and I guess there is a TSB regarding mis-marked dipsticks for Mustangs. So right now my car has 6 quarts...

    Traction problem w/stock 03' GT?

    I hadn't gotten on my car the whole week, so tonight I went on this nice straight onramp and let it rip from about 0-100. I noticed that until about 4k rpm in first the car didn't have much traction, I did a very good shift into 2nd and the car peeled. Now..I have 275/35/18 Kumho Ecsta Supras in...

    Bullitt suspension..worth it for a nice drop?

    I want to give my car a nice conservative drop. Nothing too much that'll cause problems, but just something to give it a nicer stance and to get rid of the gap. I looked at gefracing and they have the entire bullitt package w/shocks and struts for 399.00. Seems like a good deal, but im afraid...

    Vibration in steering wheel after wheel swap.

    Hey guys, after I switched to the Cobra R's I noticed that the steering wheel vibrates alot. From about 40-50mph it vibrates and in the freeway at 70mph it also vibrates. It's so bad that the passenger seat also vibrates. My brother had the rims on his Cobra before he sold it, and when he bought...

    Anyone here use Ford Synthetic Blend 5W-20 oil?

    5,000 miles is coming up, and I already bought a case of Mobil 1 Synthetic, 5W-30 oil, but I was looking over the manual and it said to use Ford Synthetic Blend 5W-20 oil instead. It's much cheaper, and it's what Ford wants us to use. Anyone ever us that kind of oil? Also, is it 100% synthetic...

    03' Cobra..the PERFECT car.

    I went to the dealer today to buy an Oil Filter where I saw this really nice 03' Cobra. It was Silver, it was lowered and it had a catback. Not sure exactly which kind though, but WOW, the car was just gorgeous. It was such a beautiful car, the guy parked it and I couldn't get my eyes off it...
