We finally got one in and I can't seem to powershift? The shifter pulls like butter but the clutch stays disengaged until I let off the gas pedal...???

wtf?!!!? I just got done bashing Autos in the other tread and you tell me we cant powershift!!??..

Yeah, I wasn't impressed with the new trans either. I'm waiting for dealers to get more cars to try the test drive again. Loved the 5.0, hated the trans feel.

the shop guys don't seem to be having a problem with them, even getting them into 5th

Come on stop bashing Justin. If their was anything wrong I'm sure he would take care of it. This is the first negative statement I have ever heard about JPC.

Well then if it's so rare, then I'm sure it would be obvious who I am, no?

shit happens. sometimes someone falls through the cracks.

when i lived in VA there were people who swore by MAS Racing and would not let Steen Racing change their oil. Yet the opposites true with others.

ive often found if someone has a problem with a particular shop (esp one with a solid rep like JPC) its usually the person more than the shop.

This is not the case for me.

I LOVED the trans. I could powershift with EASE, but after releasing the clutch pedal, the car would just hang on the limiter and wouldn't re-engage the clutch until I let off the gas. If this wasn't an issue, this is by far the easiest stock trans to powershift I have ever driven.


This was with the Stability Control off as well.

Guess we'll just have to be quick with the feet. =)

It's pretty obvious Lurker. LOL

Congrats on the 10.58's EVO @ 127+ ( stop rounding up ) LOL.

The clutch/hydro system is really no different than the previous cars. There's nothing that can control when the clutch engages/disengages other than the driver. Am I reading it right that the clutch doesn't disengage until you let off the throttle? Is it possible the clutch was slipping?

Nope

I was hoping someone would chime in...

 

[Twinscrewgt]

maybe theyre not WOT shifting, maybe there actually lifting for a split second?

 

[Surfstang2020]

nice these new 5.0s are gonna be badass I want one! I cant decide wether I want an 03-04 cobra or a new 5.0mustang more ?

 

[Anthony05GT]

Why not get the faster, more refined 2011 model?

You shouldn't even have to think about that....

I know JB was wide open shifting but the factory rev limiter on the new car slowly closes the throttle blade and when you shift close to it, it gives the sound of hesitation.

I was in the same boat.. But you have to be very hard up on wanting the Cobra to choose it over the 5.0.. I honestly don't think it's even close. 5.0 hands down. better all around car in just about every aspect..

and wait until we get rods and pistons to match the rest of the package.

I've been watching a few GT500 videos that are doing 10s (one of them from Evo) and they are usually pushing a good 200+ HP more than what these 5.0s are doing. Does the extra weight (~300 lbs) of the GT500 really make THAT big of a difference?
