    Does anyone know what the material is that makes up the carbon graphite look to the California Special's seats? Doesn't feel like leather.

    Skip shift question...possibility?

    I own a 2012 GT with the 3.73:1 rear end. There is no skip shift that disallows going to 2nd gear from 1st gear. What does happen, on the information display, it shows a display that reads "1 to 4 shift for fuel econ". Sometimes I do it, other times I ignore it.

    2012 GT--CENTER console complaints..

    I feel the lid on the compartment seems a bit flimsy, and moves around when leaning on it while entering and exiting the vehicle. Yeah, the chrome gets hot too. So I had the windows tinted, and got a sun screen for the windshield.

    Paint Protection Films

    I just tries to install an Avery Nano Fusion bra on my 2012 Mustang. Watch several videos from the sellers web site, and Avery Dennison's site, and I was quite certain I could do it. First thing, it didn't matter how much slip solution I sprayed, it kept sticking to my paint. Had to peal it back...

    How to change brake pads

    OK, I used an electric heat gun to heat up the caliper braket bolts (no the caliper mounting bolts), then with a 15mm 6pt. socket on a breaker bar, it was easy to remove the bolts, I didn't want to use a torch to prevent warping anything due to excessive heat. The bolts were LOADED with...

    Wheel Alignment with C/C plates

    I had my alignment done at a reputable shop, and when I got home and check on the plates, iI noticed they used a hammer to make the adjustments to the plate position. This ended up putting dings in my new CC plates.

    How to change brake pads

    I am having trouble removing the 15mm bolts that hold the caliper bracket. I need to take it off to replace the rotors. Does any one know if there is threadlocker holding these in place? Or, are the left handed threads?

    Warranty Question

    Just give it a try at the dealership. My windshield cracked at the lower left corner. I couldn't see where a stone may have hit it, so I thought that it was from stress due to the installation. Took it in, and they replaced the windshield under warranty.

    Question about reverse...

    Same problem here. How much damage can be expected if the gears do grind during the procedure to get into reverse? It'll be nice to know, so when I go in for the 3650 TSB, I can mention the problem and request a repair for the damage also.

    Got a TSB # for TR3650 Grind!!!!!!

    Mine also grinds sometimes when I powershift 1-2. Could this be related to the TSB? Being in Atlanta, I only noticed the 1-2, 2-3 problem, on the coldest of days which are pretty rare.

    UPR C/C plate installation question.

    I'm going to ask the question again, but reword it slightly, since I have gotten no responses yet. The Maximum Motorsport c/c plate installation instuctions says to "seperate the dust boot tube from the rubber/steel top mount. Discard the rubber/steel top mount, but save the dust tube." I can...

    When should I change transmission fluid?

    I've read through the 2003 Scheduled Maintenance book, and found nothing about changing the oil in a manual transmission.

    Got a TSB # for TR3650 Grind!!!!!!

    The TSB states the repair should take 5.6 hours to complete. I'm concerned about the repair departments ability to put the transmission back together perfectly. Fortunetly I only put on about 1000 miles a month, so I'm going to wait till the shop personnel get some more experience.

    alignment

    Another way to get more camber back, and it's cheaper, is to install a camber adjustment bolt set. Steeda part no. 271-81280, approx $30.00.
