Problems to watch for when buying a GT?
 

Greetings Folks...first post here, great site!

I'm going to be buying a 99-02 GT in the coming weeks. I've been researching quite a bit and there's one major question that I haven't been able to find the answer to.

Is there any major issues that I should be looking out for with the 99-02 GT's, 5spd? Any common problems with the engine, tranny, suspensionetc etc etc that I shold be looking for? Just trying to get aheads up forissues to watch out for.

Thanks forany input.

i have around 27,xxx and if i dont put my car into 5th before reverse, it normally grinds.

Just make sure the tranny shifts ok (no grinding) as the tranny in the 01.5+ GT is known for blowing synchros, especially 3rd gear. Also check the throwout bearing (make sure there isnt a squeaking sound when driving it). Other than that just make sure its in good running condition and all that stuff.

i have that problem too, but i just let go of the clutch then push down again and move it from neutral to reverse. It pisses me off
