Hopefully this will work and some pictures will show up! Disregard the fishing pics.

Nice car and fish also. lol what happened to the trans? Best of luck with it. excobra boy
At slow speeds when I shifted or applied and released the accelerator I would get a 'thunk' which sounded like play in the drive train. The dealer called Ford and was told to just replace the trans, not to try to fix it.

Very nice John; Mustang's not that bad either! ;-) I'd almost be jealous if I wasn't installing a SuperCharger plus other performance mods in my beast this March ;)
Sorry to hear 'bout the transmission, hopefully this will be the only problem you encounter.

01 GT FIPKI simply can't stand how beautiful the new Mustangs are. Congrats.

Great looking car except for the wheels. UGH! I would personally get new wheels pronto!
Haven't seen any I like better. One criteria is that they must be easy to clean. Also, I don't like chrome. Any suggestions?

Tell us about the transmission - This worries me - Is this the same tranny as in the 04?
John
John, almost everyone likes the standard Bullitt wheels better than the optional polished aluminum wheels. Someone's selling a set (w/tires) on Ebay now for $500 or so. That's basically free wheels if you consider the tires are worth around $500. Then use the wheels you have with snow tires in the winter... ;-)

Those *are* some nice wheels! Maybe my kids will get them for my 65th birthday. Thanks for the tip.

I'm not sure if it's the same as the '04. The transmission in the '05 is the TR3650 5-Speed Manual. The sounds I heard were there when I picked up the car, not something that developed after lots of miles. There's not much more I can tell you, except that Ford is wanting the transmission back quickly. (The service manager told me that.)
I'll try to keep you posted. Have you heard any strange noises from yours?

Here's a pic of my new '64 yellow ponycar. It had some transmission problems too....but I just popped a gear back into place and it runs fine now. ;)

Couldn't get the link to work. Maybe corral.net was down. Will try later.

How about 05YRPNY
Cute, but it sounds like I'm trying to get others to buy a new pony. Is that what you meant?
