I agree with one of the above posts about TSBs are only covered if you are experiencing the issue.. and if you are experiencing the issue then they have to do it no matter the mods.. so talk to service manager ford customer service if you have to.. bust that dealership.. they get rated on their customer satisfaction and I think the dealership gets more money or deals or something on cars if they have high customer satisfaction.. so it'll cost them if you aren't happy.

yes, i definetly have symptoms. after cruising in 5th for even 10 minutes, come up to a toll, put it in 2nd to slow down, push the gas a little, the wheels almost lock up and then the car goes full throttle for a split second. very violent, very embarassing. the first could times it happened i was with my dad, and i didn't know what it was, and he yelled at me for fooling around[:@]


and yea i got the car back today, for the replacement of the exhaust part. they replaced the part, and the leak is gone, but now i have gawdawful loud rattles again, different kinds, much louder, and at different rpm's. it has not been touched(fixed).

i'm getting a little ****ing sick of this, and i can't take it anywhere else cause then i'll have to pay. but you get what you pay for i guess.



oh yea, and the ****ing douche cookie told me my warranty ran out a week ago, i got the service report today, and it says my warranty expires may 11, 2011. i just looked at another service report and confirmed this. ****ing moron didn't look at the year, trying to **** me out of my money.

unless you have an extended warranty you only get 3 years, i would say yours is about up then.....

Those arent the symptons of the fuel pump TSB, or not the way to diagnose it atleast i dont think

When you come to a complete stop, does the car want to die when you get start going again?

i have the extended warranty. and i got the car in december 05, almost jan. my warranty runs out may 14th 2011


then why does the car sputter and lurch like that?

how fast are you going when you shift into 2nd like you state......i never downshift i just put it into neutral and then once i get ready to speed up then i put it back in a gear.

i use the brake, slow down to like 35ish, then put it in second and as soon as i give it a little gas, CA-LUNK. it also does it from a stop, but not as much. i usually rev-match down to second then just use the brakes from there, so i probably like clear it of bubbles i guess.

We had couple of cars come in with this problem but if I remember they were automatics and not manuals.
What you describe almost sounds more like a clutch problem. shifting into 2nd around 35 while braking is a little high and may cause the rear to bind up, maybe even activating the T/C. This also creates heat in the clutch which may cause a slip and the instant reving you describe upon trying to give the car throttle. And where does the Ca-lunk noise sound like it is originating from.
Try braking in 5th gear till around 1100-1200rpm then putting the car in nuetral to complete the stop. Then try accelerating and see if the car produces the same problems.

I don't understand you. It's one of the best things about having an aftermarket exhaust on this car.

AmericanMuscle4.6GT

that didn't make any sense at all, no offense.

i rev match it to 2nd gear, let out the clutch, theres not really any difference in input/output speed. otherwise i slip the clutch in 2nd to slow the car down a little sometimes, but not from 35 mph.

and i always have tcs off.

ok i take it back.....i do it alot for that reason but not for what he is using it for.....the gurgle is quite nice

and i agree i think its bucking cause you arent really rev matching it correctly, i know mine bucks when i am not in the right RPM band.
