Upper strut mounts are a good upgrade to do while you are in there. I didn't upgrade mine when I first lowered my 06 GT and after some time, one failed and starting having a clunk/pop noise. I replaced mine with MM caster camber plates but you can get GT500 upper mounts as an upgrade as well.

Looking at the datalog, the TCC Desired Slip is showing 1020 all the way through the pass until 4th gear at 5246 RPM when Des Slip goes to 0 correlating with Actual Slip dropping almost to 0 which is also where the RPM drops by about 300.

We're you on a road race track or 1/4 Mile drag strip? My transmission isn't getting close to overheating by the end of the drag strip.

The only thing I can think is it was left low when the converter was installed but not sure I only recently experienced issues. The car hasn't been driven much the last few years so maybe I just didn't drive it enough to notice symptoms. I'll check it again after driving it some more. I have...

I agree with you, car feels sluggish in the second half of the track. The RPM drop in 4th gear when the TC locked up is also concerning. I need to find someone to look at the transmission - have a bad feeling it's hurt.

Here are some of my historical passes. First one was in 2012. Didn't race for 7 years. Next 3 were on a hot night in September (90 degree air). Last 2 were Friday night in perfect air.

As an update here, there is definitely something up with the car. The transmission started slipping into neutral randomly when I would come to a stop at times. Giving throttle would get back into 1st gear. Found out the transmission was 2 quarts low on oil. Fluid wasn't burnt looking or...

Thank you for the details here. After reviewing how much fluid I cycled out versus how much I added (checking level while trans temp in proper range and car running), the trans was actually 2 quarts low. I have never seen a leak under my car or oil left behind anywhere. No evidence of leak under...

I hope it's nothing major for you! Yes, please keep me posted. As an update for me, I bought a fill adapter for $13 and with car at operating temp, it did take about 2/3 of a quart to be full. I let it cool off, drained some oil, it is not burnt and looks normal for used oil. I cycled in about...

Thanks for all the replies. Let some oil out to check it and it looks in need of changing but not burnt so that is good. No metal bits in what I saw. Filled it back up (was about 2/3 qrt low) then cycled a few more quarts in. If it still misbehaves, going to take it in.

What is the best way to leave 3-4 dl over the full level with the way it's pumped in through the bottom of the plug? Wouldn't it continue to drip out until at the full line or do you just add extra and then quickly screw in the torx bolt?

Hi everyone, I tried searching and couldn't find much out there. I have an 06 auto with a Circle D stalled 5R55S and at times when I come to a somewhat quick stop, it seems the transmission drops into neutral. If I give it some gas, it will engage back into 1st and drive normally again without...

Yeah, but to me, it's more attractive to just buy an 11-13 GT than take on the work effort and cost to swap in a Coyote motor and 6R80.

The falling costs of the gen1 5.0s is what has led me to my decision point. Current mods: Corsa axle backs, UDP, BMR (Swaybar del, LCA, adj. UCA, adj. PH bar, springs, A Arms), D-Spec, C&L Street CAI, 4.10s, Race Star wheels, Offroad H, Spydershaft, Circle D 3600 stall, and Bama tune. Best ET...

I'm hoping to keep car cost to under $16k when I end up buying next year. I am just doing some planning and due diligence now to make sure I am 100% settled on this decision. Also have to decide if I want to see my GT as-is or return some of it to stock. The only thing I really need to do before...

The main reason I am looking at an 11-13 is due to price. I want something with a better foundation to build on for drag racing and I can either go conservative on a boosted setup on my 06 GT (stock 3v and 5R55S) and wait for the motor and/or trans to go, build it up first spending more than the...

Good call! I have the Maximum Motorsport C&C plates which won't transfer over so I would either have to use stock mounts or change them out when I install the struts.

Hello everyone, I am looking to sell my 2006 Mustang GT in the next year and pick up a 2011-13 GT to replace it. I have been researching to see what all I currently have which will transfer from my GT to the new one and I am having trouble confirming if the wheels will fit. Race Star Drag...

CID : 281 Trans : 5R55S N/A - stock motor (C&L CAI, off-road H, UDP, Spydershaft, Circle D TC). Rear gear ratio : 4.10 Tires : MT ET Street Radials Race weight with me: 3408 lbs Best (9/6/19) 12.306 @ 107.15 * 96 degree heat, was not able to make another clean pass. 2nd (2/11/2012)...

Reaction time doesn't figure into ET. Can you post your slips from each track visit? 60' times mean a ton and if you 60' times are getting worse, that is what needs focus. 1. Are you doing a burnout to clean off and heat up the tires? If those are the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radials, they...

I agree with your tuner, keep current wheel/tire setup for regular driving and get a 15' or 17' wheel for the track with MT ET Street Radials. Stock stall speed will be a limiting factor but with a good tire and suspension setup, you should still be able to go lower on the my 60'. On my Tokico...

Thank you everyone for the responses. Looks like I have some options which is good to hear.

Thank you for the suggestion! I'll check into VMP.

Hello everyone, I searched and haven't been able to find anything recent on who the preferred Tuners are for S197s with the 5R55S. The guy who did my Dyno tune in 2012 stopped tuning and Doug from the original Bamachips doesn't seem to be around any longer (he did my original tunes but before...
