Rip, why don't you want to buy in another state? I can count on one finger the number of used cars I bought in my own state...

I'm going to end up being forced into buying out of state. Again. My market is overpriced so I have no choice. Just like when I bought my 06 GT.

Regarding the TSB issue. It appears that it can affect even the 2009 models. I am a bit leery of the 2007 just because of the warranty status. If I get a 2008 and it has the problem I can without question get it fixed free of charge.

How can you tell if the car has the clutch issue? Just put the pedal in, leave it in first, and then see if it creeps?

Creeping is one ...also fully depress your clutch and if it still hisses when fully pushed in that's a sign too.... Difficulty shifting 1st to 2nd as well as shifting challenges when trying to shift from 1st to reverse after startup too are other signs

For those that are looking into purchasing a GT500. Please keep in mind that when doing the tests for the TSB that the TR6060 transmissions are notorious for being difficult to shift until the transmission has had time to warm up.
