My 2014 GT. New hood being delivered soon because the dreaded hood corrosion has returned.

I hear you. I've been driving the car more carefully trying to understand the way it's set up to shift. If I let the shifts run the way they want it doesn't happen. Maybe I'll beat on it until it breaks. Then I'll know exactly what's happening. LOL!

I don't think so but he's been around for a while and works on performance cars. I'm kind of at a loss. At some point I am going to pull the computer out and throw my old chip in to see what happens. One of the things I notice with the tune is how it shifts from second to third rapidly. I really...

Well I just got back. This shop says he feels that everything is fine. He says it's the torque converter. I guess the tune I had with the chip is something different. I don't feel like swapping to the chip so I'm done worrying about it. Time to drive the car like I used to. :)

I did some research and there happens to be a really good performance shop pretty close to me. I have the owner taking a test drive a little later. I'll keep you posted. Thanks!

Ok so today I go out for a ride with the street tune loaded and the kick is bad. Could this be the tune or is the tune just magnifying an underline issue that present?

I don't feel retarded. ;) Thanks for the boost anyway. adrift, I think I'm stuck now. The place that installed them is saying three's no problem. I need to see if the place I took my car to when I first got it is still around to see if they can do a check on the gears. The battle continues!

I'm probably going to have the bumper fixed in a couple of weeks. Expensive lesson learned.

So I picked up my car yesterday afternoon from Ford. I'm not a big fan of dealership service centers but they treat me well so I feel pretty comfortable going there. They checked the whole car out and said everything is fine with the gears and the rear end. They told me the clunk is pretty...

So I finally have this bucking/kick thing at least figured out enough to recreate it. It's happening most uphill. If I'm accelerating uphill and I let of the gas it will kick. My buddy thinks its the transmission. Tomorrow I'm dropping it off at Ford to diagnose the problem. Here's hoping its...

Venting . . . So I just got back with the car after going the place that did the gears and of course there's nothing wrong with the rear end and the noises I'm hearing. The thumping or banging when I pulse the gas is not normal. I know there may be some noise but if I'm coasting and I hit the...

Thanks. A few weeks ago I had a new top put on and the shop did a fantastic job. I need a bit of cosmetic work done (I'm OCD with paint issues) and some suspension work after I square away the rear end issue and it should be a fun car again.

I've owned my 2000 GT convertible since 2002. I bought it with just over 4k (57k now) on the meter. I have to say it has treated me well over the years except for the things like wanting parts painted and adding mods. I'm in a rut now with the rear end having issues after a shop destroyed it...

Another issue that might be related. If I goose the gas in a short pulse there is a bang/clank/clunk/ that I can hear. It's pretty severe as far as I am concerned. This car has always had a little bang etc. but it small and I remember reading it was quite common with these cars. I'm hoping to go...

I'm used to a hard shift in this car. I had a Reinhart chip for a long time and I loved how the chip changed the shift points. This is more of a step on the gas (sometimes) and lift off the pedal to get a short thump or a kick back. I don't think it's the transmission but then again I'm not that...

Just a bit more info. I decided to go for a ride at lunch and drive the car without the tune loaded. It's almost unnoticeable and I have a feeling if I take to the shop they are going to shrug their shoulders and tell me there's no problem. I know the car so well that I can feel and hear the...

I have a Bama tuner and no check engine light. With the tune the kick is really exaggerated. Without the tune/stock tune it's there but not as bad.

One more thing that may or may not be related is that the car seems to misfire when in drive. First and second feel great and then it seemingly loses power.

Thanks. When I first got the car I had Ford Racing gears put in and the shop did a great job. Zero whine and the car felt great. The minute I picked up the car with this latest install it just didn't sound right. Going there tomorrow afternoon to have the shop take a ride with me.

Never in a wreck other than the shop I took it to that (I really want to use swear words here) screwed up the rear end.
