Ya, I didn't notice it intill one day @ the track. but I'm starting to notice it'll grind w/ a "quick" shift, not just WOT. I'm worried, hopefully k mem will fix this.

The 500 seems to have a shorter tighter throw

Mine's an 09 and has the same problem, though not at the track (never been)...I ran spiritedly (sp?) (I'd say 4.5K shifts) here in Houston (100 degrees) and has such a problem...I usually don't run in the heat, but maybe that was a factor as well?

I have that torque limiter and it really helped the 2nd to 3rd shift.. I don't recall missing a shift since..

Go with the poly bushings and you won't get hardly any NVH from it.. If my car is idling rough, I feel it more, but otherwise I didn't notice a change in noise, vibration, or harshness.

I got mine from Brenspeed since they're a site sponsor and a good company. I'd give them a call and see if they offer any member discounts, couldn't hurt to ask.

I've never had any trouble shifting on mine, hopefully it is not your transmission.

Well, I ordered the K brace, I figured even if I have to rebuild the transmission, I still want the brace on there since this car sees the track a lot. I sent them a email about their products and if they do promotions and told them about this site. So if anyone wants to order anything from CHE, there promotion code is mustangforums.com

LOL, funny promotion code IMO.

I have a 2010 and I have the same issue. If I am running the car really hard, I miss the 2-3 shift. I get frustrated with it. Will this torque limiter thing fit on my 2010 or is it differenct for the 2010's?
