Got the parts in. Reached down and felt the clutch could roughly spin and actually had play. I was sure my compressor was shot. Then realized the outer ring was spinning, but the inner wasn't. It separated. The job is a pita from the location. Getting the snap ring off....ugh. Use a mirror...
Last week was cruising along, ac was working great. All of a sudden it got warm in the car. No noise or anything strange.
Got home later and saw the clutch had melted material out of the front.
2012 GT with 150k on it.
Anyone have success just changing the clutch with no other obvious...
Thought I noticed something last week, but thought it may be the road or my tires. Sound gets louder when going 40-55 mph going straight and cutting the wheel to the left. Disappears when going to the right. Doesn't matter if I'm cruising, clutch in, accelerating or braking.
No vibration in the...
2012 GT. Base model with manual fan control. I noticed about 3 weeks ago that it sounds like it drops speed(and airflow drops off as well) randomly. Meaning I can be fine for most of the day, then at any moment it will slow, then speed up, slow. Yesterday I had it on max and it felt and sounded...
Its obviously had plenty of oil changes(using the motorcraft part synthetic), new battery and new brake pads. But otherwise, nothing else.
It runs fantastic. Transmission makes a little noise, but really nothing to speak of. Shifts easy, clutch still holds great. Starts right up.
I guess its...
I thought I had a tsb issue with the rear spring clips. Apparently I have the upgraded clips already. I notice the pad is nearly gone, hence the squeak.
I have 47000 miles and have a good deal highway miles. Not sure I've ever done a burnout using the brake on this car.
Is the proportioning...
Lowered on sportlines back in October. Stock struts and mounts(they stayed together when unbolting from the car). Started about a month ago. Only when wheel is turned right and moving. I only did a quick visual with the wheel turned and didn't see anything. Gonna pull the wheel today.
Maybe...
I ordered 2 275/35-19 nitto 555s. One one Monday, one on tuesday(don't ask, my fault)
The arrived wed and Thursday. The price was phenomenal, shipping free and fast. Very happy camper. I need 2 new front tires, and I know where I'll be in 2 months!
Jesus H christ....since installing the sportlines just over a week ago, I have scraped more than since Ive owned the car. First it was a crazy exit out of a gas station that hit the H pipe(I coulda took the turn a bit better), but then I got stuck on a street in the French Quarter that was being...
I installed sportlines and a adjustable panhard. Centered it immediately after setting it down. Took it out and rolled into it in 2nd. When I hit the 2-3 shift hard it spun and the car veered to the right. What adjustment do I need to make?
I have a rotary buffer, but even with a wool pad and some 3m compound, the marks are still visible in light.
What would be the best course of action here? Wet sand?
Or just remove the bumper and have the whole thing re cleared?
I use my gps pretty much constantly. My 4-5 year old one is dying. Gonna get a new one, just wondering if anyone is using the "sandbag" dash mount, and does really hold, or is it gonna go flying when I stomp on it or take a fast turn?
I've not updated in 6 months. Currently have a tune on my car, but I need to upload a new tune and datalog. If I update, do I return to stock before updating the device, then update the tune?
Any issues with the new firmware?
I need to do this to ease pairing of a bluetooth adapter I got. I dont have the ambient lighting package if that makes a difference. Not looking to replace the "always on" 12v socket in the console, but add another one.
I have a 2012 GT and just was looking at some of the data on a run and was wondering what the formula(I know its (V x X) + Y) is? I just dont know what the X and Y figures are.
