Default meh...

Hey guys, I've owned my 2000 mustang GT for about 2 1/2 years and 30,000 miles. Right now the car has 139,000 on it. Its been slowly happening but the car seems annoying to drive. The clutch feels annoying to push in and out. The car kinda shakes when I take off. The throw out bearing is making the clutch pedal vibrate. The tranny makes a clunk when I go in some gears at random times. The rear end gears are whining more latley as well. There's just an ora of buggyness all through the car. Honestly I'm losing interest in the car all together. Just looking for some advice here. Thanks guys

Time for a new clutch... Hope your tranny is ok.
Sounds like you wanna sell it though.
Remember:
Cars are like girls, every once in a while you have to spend some real money on them or they'll just sit there and get cold!!!!

I've got a strange attachment to the car. Which is the annoying part. The tranny still feels like the day I got the car so it's probably still okay.

Have a mechanic look at it. I'm guessing your clutch is on its way out.
Time for a light weight flywheel upgrade!

If you're not happy with the car you'd find a problem with it even if it was factory fresh. You need to soul search and see what it is that you truly want...

sounds to me like you need to change the diff fluid and add some friction modifier, as well as the tranny fluid, which you can do after you install your new clutch and maybe TOB. also, have you ever thought abt switching to a short throw shifter? that may reduce/eliminate some of your shifting problems. when was the last time you changed the tranny and diff fluids?
