2005 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe
300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD
| 181000 mi | I replaced the factory clutch at 180k miles when the clutch release bearing began leaking hydraulic fluid. The clutch disk was still not worn out but of course I replaced it along with the clutch release bearing. |
| 215000 mi US $550 |
Replaced clutch and throwout bearing after aftermarket clutch disk broke into pieces at high rpm on a track. This time around, I replaced it with a Luk pressure plate and Valeo disk combination. With a bunch of research, I determined this was the OEM setup used by Ford in my year. |
| 74400 mi C $180 |
Pinion seal on rear end worn, leaking oil. |
| 30000 mi US $700 |
4.10 gearing put in. They were too loose and were being worn down. Replaced gears and tightened to spec. |
| 135000 mi US $350 |
Rear pinion seal leak. Seal repaired and new differential fluid installed. |
2005 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe
210-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD
| 96000 mi | After auto transmission was shifting roughly into 3rd gear at about 20mph opted for a transmission flush. Later, shifting was smoother but had other issues like disengaging while idling in drive. Informed need new transmission. |
| 97000 mi US $2551 |
Several shops indicated that transmission needed to be rebuilt. Had this done on 3/29/14 and all appears well now. Sad this occurred with so little mileage on the car(96k). |
