How many miles are on your v6 and tranny?

F-15 crew dawg · May 13th, 2010, 10:58 AM

I'm curious to find out who has the most miles out there on their mustang without ANYTHING being rebuilt on it and what year it is or what milage their engine or tranny needed to be rebuilt at.

So the bottom line is. How many miles is a mustang good for if you take care of it?

mines a 02 V6 with good tranny, mines at 78,XXX miles now, only prob with the engine was the seals, but thats minor to fix, other than that mines strong as anything, clutch still feels really firm and catches great.

I have around 140,000 miles now (mostly highway) but everythings running real strong havent had any engine or transmissions problems yet...

236Mustang · May 13th, 2010, 12:03 PM

right now i think ive got about 15K on the motor and like 7k on the trans

yes both rebuilt

iammclovin804 · May 13th, 2010, 01:17 PM

i've got 67k on both engine and tranny. everything seems to be running fine to me.

buddah911 · May 13th, 2010, 01:30 PM

I have 102K on engine, trans and clutch.

PacificMustang01 · May 13th, 2010, 02:18 PM

I've got about 130,000 on both.....except for some stupid sensors (DPFE, oil pressure sending unit) I have had no problems at all! I am second owner, and she had 100,000 when I got her.

the origional owner was a "little-old-lady" who took damn good care of the car, and most of her daily commute was highway.

Great thread by the way.....I have been wondering how well these mustangs (mine is 01) will hold up! My other Ford cars (both escorts) have well over 200,000 miles with NO PROBLEMS AT ALL! if you can believe that!

I'm hoping my Stang does as good as the escorts did!

I got about 87k miles on my 01 right now, only problem with it is an exhaust leak which is a common problem with these cars so no biggie everything else runs fine.

Xx1nuYashaxX · May 13th, 2010, 02:25 PM
