Being car-less does suck indeed. But at least it's being covered. That clutch is BIG BUCKS like I said. And at least you shouldn't have that problem any more.

well they just said they are replacing the clutch, i dont know if they even checked the TSB

and its HALF covered haha damn rats

[Lefty]

If I'm not mistaken the TSB requires the whole clutch to be replaced.

[08blkgt500]

oh k, i hope it wont start to slip again in 13k miles/a year later haha

[Lefty]

It shouldn't if the TSB is serviced correctly.

[08blkgt500]

at least its covered by warranty, so for sure it wont cost me a thing for the next 5 years haha

[Reloaded]

Wait, half covered? Oh you mean because of the harness? Nah it's more than half covered. The clutch assy is over 2gs total for just parts!!

They replace the clutch assy, the flywheel, and some other shit that I don't know what it is other than a kit of parts for the trans.

[08blkgt500]

yeah im not sure about the clutch assy/flywheel. all they said was that they are replacing the clutch.

[08blkgt500]

btw, someone FUCKED up the rental between the time i got it last week and now haha

new dent/scratches, interior is tore up to hell, ants all over the place, and i can see the rear right tire (one wheel drive v6 FTW) so messed up. huge long gashes as if this guy was drifting it on broken glass. plus i found a disneyland pass in the dash haha

[08blkgt500]

You might want to find out if they are doing the TSB on it. Because it's a whole kit. I just looked up the clutch only and it will supercede to the new clutch kit, but it's only those parts. They are supposed to diagnose and find out if the synchros need to be replaced as well.

ISSUE:
Some 2007-2009 Mustang Shelby GT500 vehicles built before 9/1/2008 may exhibit the following clutch/transmission symptoms: hard to disengage or engage 1st and reverse, hard to shift any gear, vehicle creeps with transmission in gear and clutch pedal fully depressed without brake pedal application. These symptoms may be caused by the clutch not disengaging fully when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. This may be due to flywheel distortion caused by excessive heat build-up during unique traffic conditions (example: severe stop/go urban driving, excessive clutch slipping). The clutch system is designed for performance driving conditions.

ACTION:
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

Located at the end of the procedure are Figures 1, 2 and 3 which show the typical appearance of a flywheel and clutch that has been damaged due to overheating of the clutch. Figures 4, 5 and 6 show the typical appearance of a good flywheel and clutch.

This procedure does not apply to or correct the normal characteristics of the twin-disc cera-metallic clutch used in the Shelby GT500 vehicle or normal wear. The twin disc cera-metallic clutch incorporates racing technology to combine a low inertia assembly with a very durable friction material with high torque capability. Depending on your driving technique, the smoothness of how the clutch reacts to clutch engagements may be different from other vehicles that use a single disc clutch system. Also refer to pages 8 and 9 of the GT500 Owner Guide Supplement for additional information.

Normal Operating Characteristics Of The Twin Disc Cera-metallic Clutch

Clutch chatter/shudder when engaging the clutch.
Narrow or abrupt engagement point.
Hiss upon clutch engagement or disengagement.
Transmission gear rollover noise at idle.
Gear rattle noise at very low speeds when in 1st or 2nd gear.
Normal wear.


Anyway, up to you. I'm sure they know what they're doing. Hopefully. haha.

[08blkgt500]

yeah i hope so too, they won like 4-5 best dealers of the year in CA in the row or something haha

I put the HID's in the headlights tonight! Looks great. I am a true dumbass though. I ordered the wrong set. Meant to order dual beam, I did not. I fail..... Again....
lol HID guy said he would make it right though if I wanted the duals, even though I installed them. That is customer service right there. I think I will keep these though.

[Lefty]

Told ya the service is great!

[03svtcobra]

i think i'm gonna get some 10k hid's after my 2.8 pulley

[Lefty]
