3.27 gear in 2003... 3.55's were put in the 04's if im not mistaken!

3.27's in the 04's. Also, I'm almost positive that in mid 03 the schrader valve on the passenger side fuel rail was eliminated.

I didn't need any extensions for my 02's when I put my o/r xpipe on. The MIL's were just fine and have some slack in them. I have a VRS mid pipe.

Why is it that everybody recommends the 5-speed tranny? I know it's less drive train loss and a few tenths off the 1/4 mile, but it seems like I see way more threads with problems on the manual tranny. Is the auto more durable because I rarely run into threads with people reporting problems with the auto?

A 5spd car is way more fun to drive, it makes you feel more connected, gives you more control, and its alot more fun. Nothing like throwin it in 3rd to pass some slow poke on the highway.... and besides Fords autos in stock form make the car slower than the 5spd. I wouldnt buy an automatic mustang. I had one, it was fun, it had a ratchet shifter, but it still doesnt compare to a 5spd/manual.

Is the 03 & 04 auto tranny the same as the 99-02?

I think the 99-02 had the AODE auto and 02-present have the 4rw70.

its harder to tell that an auto is Fed up

dont do neutral drops or manualy shift the auto and it will last forever + there is so much more potential, epsecially when running nitrous

actually on the 03 and 04 gt's auto trannies you can do all the 1 - 2 shfts you want it won't hurt anything.
