Do you have the digital display in your car? If so I don't think you have a TCS light..

I think with/without the digital display/message center/whatever else the TCS light should flash if you have TCS active and it's being put into use while you're driving, because that's a basic driver info/safety thing.
And mine is a manual as well, and still flashes the symbol, so that shouldn't affect it. Sounds like perhaps something's broken. Maybe a sensor got messed up or a wire disconnected or something like that. If it bothers you, take it in and get Ford to deal with it. It'll be under warrenty. If it doesn't bother you, well, no biggie.

haha.. little off topic, but how does it sound without muffs?
One thing you gotta worry about is the pipes bouncing around under there so what I did is tied them up with some nylon zip ties and its a temperary fix. The straps can melt anywhere from a month to as quick as a day so its kinda annoying. I just buckled down and orderd the slps and I hope it sounds the same, im just sick of replacing the zip ties, not to mention i dont want the carbon monoxide under the car! If you got any other questions feel free to ask, I highly recommend it though!!!

What I meant by digital display is the digital screen inside the speedometer. It shows your fuel economy graph, calculated MPG, number of gallons of gas used, trip information, average speed, etc.
The screen is exactly where the TCS icon is on other Mustangs. I've looked at my dash panel and I do not see the TCS icon anywhere.

One thing that does happen when TCS kicks in is that the message center comes up and says something like "Traction Control Active". But definetly no symbol...
