i just bought 01 GT 5SPD AND I HAD A COUPLE ISSUES THAT I WAS WONDERING IF IT WAS COMMON OR NOT?

IS IT A TORQUE MONSTER OR DID I BREAK A MOUNT....WHEN I GET ON THE GAS MAINLY IN 4,5 IT JERKS AS IF THE WHOLE DRIVELINE MOVED? DONT REALLY KNOW HOW TO DESCRIBE IT


CRUISING I CAN HEAR THE TRANNY CLUTCH OR SOMETHING TURNING ALMOST LIKE A CLICKING NOISE....COMMON?



WINDOW SQUEEKS WHEN I LET IT DOWN?

THE CLICKING NOISE SOUNDS LIKE ITS COMING FROM THE SHIFTER REGION BUT I DONT KNOW IF IT HAS TO DO WITH THE TIMING CHIAIN SENSOR IN THE TOP THREAD?

cassimus

oh boy...common problems.... timing chain tensioners go bad, spark plugs shoot out of the heads, plastic intake manifolds crack, people windows never work properly (roll up too far or not at all), the t45 transmissions are ****ty and they grind going into reverse unless you shift into 4th and then reverse or hold the clutch for 10 seconds before putting it in R, they randomly decide to stall when shifting into N sometimes (IAC needs cleaned)...those are the only things that come to mind right now...after owning my car for 3 months i already had a spark plug shoot out of the head, a coolant temp sensor go out, intake manifold crack, head gasket started to leak, grommit in the fuel tank dry rotted and it had a gas leak, my driver side power mirror stopped working....

Damn, You guys must be running the crap out of your stangs. I have an 03 GT with a little over 45,000 miles on her and she still runs like its brand new.Yes I know it won't last, but I don't always put my foot in her either.

I think its just slack in the driveline you're talking about. Mine does it too, the jerky clunk right? And +1 about the windows... my passenger switch has been changed like twice and stops working everytime....

hey 99blackponygt...how many miles are on your car?

99BlackPonyGT

im not sure....bought it used when the speedo said 144k miles...but it had 3.73s and wasnt tuned so it racked up miles quicker on the odometer than it actually did ....idk when the gears were installed...tuned it and ive put about 10k on it since then ....but im guessing 120-130 k

1999 GT

yea...well im sure it wont be long until i start havin problems...mine has 96k on it....but anyways your stang sounds sick- what do you have for pipes?...sounds like flows?
