(not including clutch issues:p)

I'm investigating and comparing cars and for the moment the only two survivors are
ford shelby supersnake
nissan gtr
tried ferrari 458 but sound is awful
tried porsche GT3 but is expensive for a "butcher's" car you see a 911 on every corner and the GT3 is not so special to drive.

In Europe you can not have an American import serviced on every corner, the service interval will be an important issue (especially for my wife who hates driving me to the garage to pick up or leave a car) ]]> 2007-2011 Shelby Mustangs luxgt http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/2007-2011-shelby-mustangs/11925-service-interval.html supercharger 2011 GT500 http://www.shelbyforums.com/forums/2007-2011-shelby-mustangs/11919-supercharger-2011-gt500.html Mon, 06 Sep 2010 20:46:18 GMT I just began to notice that the supercharger on my 2011 GT500 wont kick in while in 1st.

Right after the "=" sign put your entire VIN number in there and a printable download and disk savable PDF window sticker for your car should come up.

It worked fine for me...however I found my original in my 2007 Shelby Owner's Manual. And had it laminated last night it was in great shape. But I still tried my VIN number out on this link I found while looking for something else. And there was my window sticker again! It might save you $45 from purchasing one from Ford if it works.

Happy Labor Day everyone.

But they must have put that on the snout of the engine for a specific reason as the front was already heavy enough!

Or to control crankshaft vibration under load?

It would seem to me horsepower upgrades or not their would also be consequences for removing the heavy damper or why put it there in the first place?

Publication Date: February 12, 2010

FORD: 2007-2009 Mustang

This article supersedes TSB 09-19-11 to remove the production fix date, update the Service Procedure and Part List.

ISSUE:
Some 2007-2009 Mustang Shelby GT500 vehicles may exhibit the following clutch/transmission symptoms: hard to disengage or engage 1st and reverse, hard to shift all gears, vehicle creeps with transmission in gear and clutch pedal fully depressed without brake pedal application. These symptoms may be caused by the clutch not disengaging fully when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. This may be due to flywheel distortion caused by excessive heat build-up during unique traffic conditions (example: severe stop/go urban driving, excessive clutch slipping). The clutch system is designed for performance driving conditions.

ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Located at the end of the procedure are Figures 1, 2 and 3 which show the typical appearance of a flywheel and clutch that has been damaged due to overheating of the clutch. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the typical appearance of a good flywheel and clutch.

This procedure does not apply to or correct the normal characteristics of the twin-disc cera-metallic clutch used in the Shelby GT500 vehicle or normal wear. The twin disc cera-metallic clutch incorporates racing technology to combine a low inertia assembly with a very durable friction material with high torque capability. Depending on your driving technique, the smoothness of how the clutch reacts to clutch engagements may be different from other vehicles that use a single disc clutch system. Also refer to pages 8 and 9 of the GT500 Owner Guide Supplement for additional information.

Normal Operating Characteristics Of The Twin Disc Cera-metallic Clutch

Clutch chatter/shudder when engaging the clutch.
Narrow or abrupt engagement point.
Hiss upon clutch engagement or disengagement.
Transmission gear rollover noise at idle.
Gear rattle noise at very low speeds when in 1st or 2nd gear.
Normal wear.
Diagnosis And Service Procedure Update

Based on engineering analysis of all of the returned transmission components replaced when performing the prior TSBs, it has been determined that the synchronizer assemblies and transmission input shafts do not exhibit any abnormal wear that would require transmission component replacements.

A diagnostic procedure has been developed to confirm that the transmission synchronizers are operating properly and prevent any unnecessary transmission repairs.

Transmission Synchronizer Diagnosis Procedure

The following procedure is to be used to determine if the synchronizer assemblies in the transmission may have been damaged by attempting to operate the vehicle with a dragging clutch.

Set parking brake.
Transmission in neutral.
Start engine and allow it to idle.
Clutch engaged - pedal fully released.
Attempt to shift transmission into first gear by firmly pushing shift lever approximately 5-10 lb-ft (22-45 N-m) force for 2-3 seconds.
If the synchronizers are okay, the transmission will not make any clash or grinding noise. You will not be able to move the gearshift lever into the selected gear (the synchronizer will block out gear engagement) and the engine RPM will decrease slightly.
Repeat the synchronizer test (Step 5 and 6) on all of the other forward gears.
If the transmission passes the synchronizer test, the transmission will not require additional service; proceed with clutch/flywheel replacement only. Refer to Clutch Replacement procedure.
If clash/grinding noise is found when performing the synchronizer diagnostic, the transmission will need to be repaired along with the replacement of the clutch. Refer to Transmission Repair procedure.

Clutch Replacement

Remove the transmission per 2010 Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 308-03C.
Remove and replace flywheel per 2010 WSM, Section 303-01C. Discard old bolts and use new bolts.
Install new pilot bearing per 2010 WSM, Section 308-01.
Install new clutch disc and plate assembly per 2010 WSM, Section 308-01. Using new bolts.
Apply a small amount of Motorcraft® PTFE Lubricant to the clutch hub splines per 2010 WSM, Section 308-01.
Install new clutch slave cylinder and hydraulic line per 2010 WSM, Section 308-02.
Install the transmission per 2010 WSM, Section 308-03C.
Refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) Reprogramming.
Transmission Repair

Remove, drain, disassemble and clean the transmission per 2010 WSM, Section 308-03C.
Remove and replace input shaft and all synchronizer assemblies per 2010 WSM, Section 308-03C.
Assemble the transmission per 2010 WSM, Section 308-03C.
Install the transmission per 2010 WSM, Section 308-03C.
Refer to PCM Reprogramming.
PCM Reprogramming

The PCM must be reprogrammed after the clutch is replaced. Reprogram the PCM to the latest calibration using IDS release 65.07 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2010.1 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at www.motorcraft.com.
