Shifting Hard = Brake light to flip on?


If Im shifting hard, racing, beating on my car, when I shift, and the car like "bucks" or whatever you want to call it throws you back in the seat for that second while you shift or whatever,
Sorry I know I suck at describing stuff

But anyways, when I shift hard/fast it is making my Brake light come on for that split second the car is like launching. then it goes right off...

Why would this be?
Low fluid? Bad sensor?

I checked the fluid a couple of weeks ago and my level was fine....

has to be your fluid shifting in your master cylinder im guessing. fuck girl u must really drive balls to the wall lol but then again i remember making my oil light come on in my 5 speed sunfire from beating her hard when i shifted lol but never have i seen the break light come on lol. you not experiencing any issues with your breaks like a soggy pedal or an overly stiff one? or pedal fade or break shake? anything?

LOL, well the first time it flipped on for a second I was side by side with some little 12 yr old looking ghetto bitch in some done up honda lmao, so needless to say I was beating it pretty good....

But then it happened again when I was playing around by myself so I was like hmm ok it only happens when Im shifting really hard or messing around...

But No, I havent experienced any other issues with my brakes at all...
Thats why I was wondering if it was anything I should be worried about or if its just that fluid sloshing around

bingo just had a stroke of generous. check your clutch fluid if its low it will draw from the brake system (they take the same type of break fluid) if you clutch fluid is low it will rob from your break master cylinder if your beating on the clutch. ill bet money your clutch fluid is low. i know in my old 5 speed i could feel my worn clutch in the break pedal when i had the clutch engaged cuz there fluid system was inter twined.

i have no clue i only wish my stang was a 5 speed i wasnt lucky enough to find a nice used 5 speed mustang around here but usually its on the fire wall on the drivers side by the break master cylinder should say clutch on it and im pretty sure u can fill it to the top and it will just spill over what it dont need at least thats how it was on my old car.

My Brake light started to come on when I took off hard... did some research and found it was low fluid. I did read, however, that aside from a fluid indicator, Ford uses the brake light on the dash to report numerous brake problems - mine was fluid.

OK, thanks,

I called the dealership and they told me before if it is only coming on when I am shifting hard that its more than likely fluid sloshing around, but with my fluid full how would that be possible. I mean its not like my car is launching into a damn wheelie lol....

But I will just check everything again because I have beat the car ever since I have had it and never seen this before and all of a sudden its happening now?
Just my luck, finally think I have a car Im going to have no problems with and this little shit starts happening, what is going to be next???
thanks for the help

I thought you had an auto queenie. And if it is when your shifting hard you may just be tripping the sensor. Make sure your e brake isn't lose.
