Hey all! Just bought a new 12 V6! So far only 150 miles so I know I need to break her in a little more before getting on it but it's so hard to resist Got the transmission TSB done at ford the notchy gears. On the first test drive with the tech it locked him out of second so they replaced some fluids and checked all bolts. Now it's still notchy but hasn't locked me out of any gears just feels a little weird. Anyone else experiencing this? I did some reading and the TSB seems like the only fix at the moment. I like the short throw shift but would like it to smooth out a little. Maybe some more driving will help.
Looking to do some basic mods once I reach about 1k-2k miles and was wondering what would be the best for a Manual V6 with the Performance package. I was thinking 3.73's but trying to justify the 500 install price for just a little quicker rev up. I know a tune is helping the auto's out a lot but will make a big difference on a stick? Also, has anyone done the throttle body spacer by airaid? I saw it and was thinking of going with a good tune, CAI, and that. Looking to stay under $700 for all of it. Will those 3 turn out some good differences? I would really love to keep the warranty but I've had mustangs with tunes and it made a world of difference on the older GT's. Stereo wise I got the basic system which is pretty horrible, so looking to upgrade that soon, any recommendations on a new stereo and speakers to get good sound on a budget? Any input would be awesome!
