My "stang" is in the shop as I type. They are ordering new clutches for the rear end. I hear a rubbing/moaning noise as I turn 90 degrees. Anyone with this problem or advice? My email is [email protected]

bad rear clutches in 06 GT reply to all
Torch Red: It started gradually from the beginning. I now have 5000+ miles and the rear end noise started gradually and got louder. I took it in about a month after I got it (brand new) and was told the first time that it was just the sound of the wide tires on pavement. I didn't believe it then and then took it to another dealership (do you think it was the blonde hair that made them tell me that?). I should get it back today (from a dealership other than where I purchased it). They are replacing the rear clutch pack.
Thank you ticketmered05GT and bobcat for the tsb. I don't know how you found it. I guess I don't know how to search the forums (I was on it for an hour!), but I will figure it out.
2006 Tungsten Mustang GT: I guess there is not a lot of info out on the 2006's yet. Even the dealership was looking at the 05 tsb's. It won't be long before there is though with these kinds of problems.
I enjoy my 2006 Mustang Gt so much and I have a lot of fun in it. It is Windveil blue, the perfect girl color for a muscle car! I am a little dissappointed however to be having trouble with a six month old car! Hopefully the dealership will fix the problem and I will tearing up the roads again! Driving a new F150 truck while waiting for "my baby" has made me appreciate my car all the more (nothing against trucks, the have their use)!

My wifes 06 GT had the same problem after 3000 miles. Took it back to the dealership, and was fixed the same day.

hmm... not sure about that one. Although i did ask the service manager if while they had the rear end apart if they could install a set of gears.He said " give my tech $150, provide the gears, and we'll do it"
So now the wife's car has a set of FRPP 3:73's in it
rear clutches fixed
I picked up my car last night (06 gt) and all seems well. I don't hear anything now when I turn, just makes me want to drive in circles! I ask about putting on a different air filter. My dad put a k and n on his (05 gt), but the service tech said bad move. The oiled filters can mess up the air sensor and that is about 300 dollars to replace. I will have to break the news to my dad. The service tech recommended a cold air intake (greek to me). I have a dumb question, is replacing my rear clutches considered rebuilding the rear end? My guess is no, but hey I'm a girl.

When they performed my tsb, I had a bunch of my mods on the car as well. Alot depends on the particular dealer though; mine is really cool.
I thought about having 4.10's installed when they had my rearend apart, but I just didn't have any extra money at the time
I wouldn't consider replacing the clutches a complete rebuild either, since they don't replace any of the bearings.

the problem has been arround for quite a while. It is nothing new. I used to replace explorer 8.8 inchclutch packs quite often for a chatter condition under power and turning. this could appear in any vehicle with clutch type posi units. Hopefully the new parts are better. I never had any come back chattering again
would this problem also create pulling to the left and shaky steering like a tire is out of balance? I have had the noise for a while now and noticed it started when I got my new wheels and just thought they were rubbing but they clear...so then I see this thread. The noise has gotten somehwhat worse and the tires are balanced per Discount Tire and the shaky steering and pull to the left is still there. I know alignment is still an avenue but the car is still new...I dunno
