I noticed my car did this the other night when my exhaust clogged blew a gasket not really sure whats wrong with it. When I down shift my car shuttters and makes a stalling noise. I also noticed my car is idles at 1g. it takes it awhile to idle back down when i take car out of gear (sometimes). My car always sound weird during down shift. My motor sounds weird with the clutch disengaged sometimes. To make the motor sound normal i have to push clutch in. I also noticed a ticking noise but not extremely loud. Its hard to get third gear in sometimes and fifth gear sometimes makes me think i need some gear oil maybe? This all happen when i drive car twenty mins or more some morning none of this is going on besides the down shifting sound. That has happen before my new exhaust problem

Id try running your codes first...you do not need a scanner to do this. just google how to check codes on a fox body mustang and it will exsplain how to do this. basicly it makes your check engine light flash, you count the flashes and then look that number up and it give you an idea of whats wrong.




Id also try cleaning your mass air meter. and check you TPS sensors (voltage). you can learn how to do this buy going to the top of the 5.0 page under useful links , or some thing like that. never mind ill just post the link
