2008 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe
supercharged 500hp 5.4L V8 6-speed manual RWD
| 9000 mi | Defective input shaft in Tremec 6 speed trans. caused premature clutch wear of dual plate ceramic clutch and throw out bearing. Clutch burned out, would slip if throttle pressed in 5th or 6th gear at speeds above 50 mph. |
| 22700 mi | Repaired again, re-occuring failure in clutch, pressure plate, throw-out bearing, synchros,and input shaft. This system common to all 2007-2009, Shelby GT500 cars. Bad design hopefully fixed with 2010-2011 design component. Poor design!! Clutch, pressure plate,throw-out bearing,clutch slave cylinder,and tranmission defect returns again to all Shelby GT500 owners who actually drive these vehicles.Defective design,so Ford replacing all related parts with 2010-2011 parts. |

2008 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe
300-horsepower 4.6L V8 5-speed manual RWD
| 1200 mi | Replace entire transmission with new unit, due to my reported 'knocking' noise at certain rpm's. Ford diagnosis is that the noise was coming from the tailshaft of the transmission. |
| 3000 mi | Engine tickknock noise between 1500-2000 rpm when car under load. Noticed in 2nd gear, but happens in any gear. Dealer replaced tranny. Didn't fix! Coming from engine. Ford engineer says 'normal'. TSB's say otherwise. |
| 3000 mi | Continued engine tickknock noise as originally reported and described. Dealer mechanic stated the TSB's did not apply, and the noise is "normal". Rode in an '09 GT & made same noise about same rpm. Hope nothing breaks. Disappointed with Ford on this. |
