Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / June 20052005 GT's in Washington DC area?
I would like to find someone in the DC area with a new GT, manual transmission, to compare to mine. I still get a 'thunk' sound (like drivetrain lash) when I go from decelerating to accelerating. I can hear it especially in 3rd gear going around 15-20 mph. The dealer told me it's just the way they are. But I'd sure like to hear it in another GT to feel a little more confident about what the dealer says.

While the hardtop GTs seem to be everywhere, I have not seen a single GT convertible here in MA. Seems all the GTs on the lots have the optional stereo, too. That must be a real profit generator.

That must be a >real profit generator. I've got the Shaker 1000 in mine, but not because I wanted it. It just happened to be in the car I wanted. It's about a $1200 option (over the price of the Shaker 500). I'd sell it in a minute for half that, or less. SignatureJohn H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." I dont have a GT, but I think I have a similar sound... Im in baltimore if you want to meet up and compare... Do you get a funky relay clicking on and off in the drivers side engine compartment while driving? >I would like to find someone in the DC area with a new GT, manual >transmission, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > it in > another GT to feel a little more confident about what the dealer says. >I dont have a GT, but I think I have a similar sound...

Ah the trials & tribulations of buying the first model year of anything. >>I would like to find someone in the DC area with a new GT, manual >>transmission, [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] >> it in >> another GT to feel a little more confident about what the dealer says.

Could be 'cause I'm half deaf though. I'll ask my wife to listen next time we're out.

Do you detect it at all in the higher gears? My '00 GT had a strange *clunk* in the drivetrain. After a couple visits to the dealership they discovered the motor/trans was not properly bolted in. The noise was more pronounced in 3rd, 4th and 5th. In 5th, the throttle up/down at around 70mph would induce the sound/sensation quite reliably. SignatureJohn C.

I don't hear it at all in 5th, a little in 4th. SignatureJohn H "All decisions are the result of binary thinking." |
