Full hand. Especially between 1st and 2nd.

I changed the fluid at 2000 miles to Redline ATF D6. What a difference! The ATF Ford puts in the gearbox might be good for automatics, it's not very good in a manual. I was sometimes getting borderline gear grinding on shifts, not now. The shift quality is vastly improved. It didn't improve the...

If your not sure if the people doing your oil change put in the right amount of oil, pull the dip stick and verify it.

Does anyone know what fluid Ford is putting in these gearboxes at the factory? I think they are coming to Ford dry because they have to hook up the cooler lines.

At 700 miles I changed the engine oil and had the mechanic pull the fill plugs on the tranny and diff to make sure they were full. They were, but the diff had 3 metal chips on the plug. The mechanic said to bring it back at 1500 miles to change the fluid. At 1500 miles he drained the diff, the...

Ford, you are monitoring this forum. You can stop all the speculation about this opening in the liner. It's obvious the opening was manufactured into the liner. What is the purpose of this slot, besides letting gravel in?

The dealer wanted to add a $5,000.00 mark up. I threatened to walk and he knew I would give them a bad rating on yelp. What saved me was my Dark Horse was a stick. Not a single car on his lot was a stick. The morons around here can't drive a stick, hell they can't even drive an automatic.

My gear box is very stiff to shift. I have a 1,000 miles on it and it doesn't feel any better from when it was new. Has anyone had this issue and changed the fluid and got better results?

Thanks CarGuyBill. Small world, My Dark Horse is also Atlas Blue Metallic.

All the waxes I have say don't use on vinyl. What are you guys using? Thanks

I put the meter on the battery and it read 12.5 volts, started car and it read 12.5 volts and slowly rose to 14.2 volts, revved engine to 2000 rpm and voltage dropped to 13.2 volts. I just had the battery replaced and was convinced the alternator was bad. Took it back to dealer and got a lesson...

The info screen went black on start up and after about 30 - 45 seconds it came on, but the touch screen was frozen on default settings. This happened twice and I then put the smart charger on the battery because it sat for 2 1/2 months in lots (thanks Ford) before being delivered. After 24 hrs...

Hi Q6543. Since you appear to know what is going on in Flatrock, maybe you can help me out with the following. During dealer prep, the dealer found 2 bolts laying in the trunk. Sizes M5 X 24 mm and M8 X 34 mm. Maybe you can check with your union buddies and find out where they are supposed to...

Pulled aero shield to change oil filter and found that there was 1 screw missing and worse was that the UAW worker, that just got a huge pay raise, had broken the head off another screw and left the shank still in the treads. Luckily I was able to use a pair of pliers to get it out. What kind...

At 700 miles I had my mechanic do the first oil change and had him pull the fill plugs on the gearbox and diff to check the levels. Both where good on fluid level but he put his pinky in the hole on the diff and it came out with minute shavings. The fill plug also had some metal on it. I know...
