Hi guys

First post for me here on mustangforums. I am not a Mustang owner yet, but I am working on becoming one.

I am on the lookout for a 99 GT convertible 5 speed. I dont need offers but I need some info on what to be on the lookout for. I amimporting tothe car to Denmark soI need to be a little careful in what I buy.

Any special maintance that I need to check for?. Like expensiveparts that need to be replaced periodically.
Anything that I should be aware of for that model?

Thanks in advance

 

the tranny blows on the 99..well not blows but its better on the 01.5 and up GT's. so try to find 01.5-04.

 

The only bad thing about a T-45 is if you don't know how to shift them. My 99 has 98,000 miles on it,10,000 of which are supercharged miles,and it still shifts great. To prolong the life of my tranny I use synthetic fluid and I installed a Steeda short throw shifter. The short throws have stops on them to keep from overshifting which keeps you from screwing up your shift forks.
I've run as quick as 12.88 in the 1/4 mile with this so called weak tranny. I wouldn't take advice from someone with an automatic.

 

thanks for the response they were most useful!

look at this http://www.autobankcenter.net/CarDet...FP45X9XF175217#

The roll bar is that standard and does it come off? most pictures i see doesn't have a roll bar. Do ppl take it off?

Excuse my ignorance

 

That's a style bar, not really a roll bar. It's just for looks and doesn't really protect you in a roll over. It's an aftermarket piece with an integrated third brake light. It's probably easier to take off than it is to install, because you have to drill to install.
