    How many miles you got?

    2007 GT. Stopped being my daily in 14' with 149k. Has 156k now. Driving it more again since I got rid of my 15' in May.

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    That torque rating is based on a much higher GVWR than the Mustang has. The lower the weight of the vehicle is the more that rating goes up. I've seen that rating attached to 9000lb + weight vehicles for the MT-82. Should be no issue in the Mustang really. I'd be more concerned about high RPM...

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    My only on track experience has been VIR full course. At oak tree I was getting down into 2nd because 3rd was too tall (Or maybe I'm just slow) to pull well coming out onto the back straight with a stock 4.6. It was a real speed killer in the corner but was faster than trying to use 3rd. Never...

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    My interest is road course work as well. I'm not fast, highly experienced or overly well funded. Just like the gear ratios. There are currently stronger MT-82 internals out there now too so the durability issues are being addressed as well for anyone who's willing to go there. If the speedo...

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    I am not in disagreement. But a stock or near stock 4.6 shouldn't be hard on the MT-82 if it's healthy to begin with. Drivers on the other hand. Well that's a different matter altogether.

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    I know the magnum xl, t56 is the better swap. I just like to tinker with things and this was just one of those issues I can't seem to let go of. The MT-82 is just plentiful and cheap compared to the T56 so it seemed to me finding a solution to the sensor issue would be worthwhile. Also the...

    Heavy Clutch Fix

    Really? I never checked honestly. My oops.

    Heavy Clutch Fix

    The 15+ cars have a helper spring in the clutch pedal assembly which is why they are lighter in effort. A common mod for people who want more clutch feel is to pull the spring out. Of course this increases clutch effort.

    Bad harness?

    Haha been away for a while but got back on here recently and realized this had never been updated. First thanks for all the help back when this was new. Wiring harness is fine. Brake fluid switch just needed to be used regularly. I bought a new one but never installed it as the problem has...

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    Nevermind. My question fails in that the PCM from the coyote motor is what makes the speedo work. I'm still using the 4.6 PCM so none of the Coyote PCM stuff applies here. Gonna have to make a trans mounted reluctor wheel and use the stock VR sensor if I want to go this route. Which I might...

    MT-82 behind 4.6 3V

    Not a motor swap but posting this here as the knowledge to answer my question is most likely in this section of the forum. To start. I have installed an MT-82 in my 07' GT in the past but took it out for a few reasons. First the guy I bought it from lied to me and it wasn't in good shape with...

    Manual trans noise

    Any noises when going down the road? A manual transmission the has a light rattle while idling in neutral is no big deal IMO. If you're having rattling/grinding noises when going down the road well that's different. Welcome and enjoy your car.

    Yes I've Searched. Extensively. P0345 and 0349

    Well it's been a while and I was out of town way more than expected. I did manage to get in a track day at VIR for the SVT Superfest on April 19th. So after checking the wiring thoroughly I decided to dig into the motor and swap out the cam phaser. 150k miles first time ever opened the...
