I disabled rev matching. Along with auto brights and auto wiper blades.
By the way to minimize the wear of the clutch and mainly synchros, you need to double clufch when down shifting. I try to do it when I can.
If I’m downshifting from 6th to 3rd, I do as follows:
press clutch, shift into...
Coasting in neutral is dangerous as you can get hit from behind and fly forward. If I’m stopping at a light I press the brake, and at the point that my engine would stall out, I shift in neutral and wait for the light to turn green again. Shifting into the first gear to anticipating the green...
Hello. I am trying to find a post somebody made regarding yearly body and paint inspection... can't find it. I remember reading that it's some policy that Ford doesn't really want to tell people about, so that they would not be blamed for factory defects, etc.
I would like to know:
1. how...
1. Costco has discounts for cars. I went to the website https://www.costcoauto.com/enterzipcode.aspx?gotourl=%2f and found a dealer, got their quote with all the fees electronically.
2. took the quote to another dealer, asked them if they'd beat it. they did.
3. took the quote to a third...
For me the wired connection to my phone gives me audible glitches every time when running wired CarPlay. Music and podcasts have this skipping sound often enough.
So I make sure to connect my phone wirelessly, then connect it to the charger cable—seems to work.
Every once in a while an app...
I had major buyer's remorse when I got my brand-new '07 GT, after like a year. There were water leaks, handbrake freezing in the winter, rattles, other annoying things like suspension squeaks. In the end I felt like I made a huge mistake getting this expensive car on a loan with so many...
Sorry you had to go through this! One of the first things I did was disable auto-update. Let them update it at the dealership, or at least when I'm at a repair shop. I've heard way too many stories about appliances getting updates and getting bricked. Live and learn I guess. "They've done...
For me if I put it down, holding it down with the edge of my foot, then release it, it smoothly goes up; it doesn't immediately bounce right up. On my old Mustang, the pedal would shoot up immediately, without any smoothness. I could make it as rough or as smooth as I wanted to.
Maybe we...
the RPMs increasing... I've had that on my old Mustang. My car has like 500 miles. All I'm saying, is like you know those hydraulic door closing mechanisms... you can have it calibrated to close slowly and smoothly or slam right away. For me, the pedal releases more slowly that I would like...
Hey guys. Today I realized that the clutch is definitely different than what I had on my 07. Basically if I drop the clutch, it doesn't let me "drop" it. The clutch pedal releases almost immediately, but smoothly, especially when it's almost all the way up. So as a result, I feel like the...
As you can see, the hole is not just right in front of the tire, it's also on the bottom. The mud guard simply covers the front of it, leaving the bottom portion exposed. And stuff will still get inside.
