this is a problem that the dealer is unable to figure out after multiple tries.
once the car is warmed up, after 10 mins of highway driving between 65mph to 75mph, only in 5th or 6th gear, the car will feel slight jerkiness (as if someone is modulating the clutch on/off) then wrench sign comes...
update:
ran the new version of the cooler at mosport which has a long long straight over 1KM in length, happy to report that there is no limp mode in sight, max temp is 119C = 245F. I can see during the long back straight the trans temp actually goes down by a few degrees, makes sense as the...
going to change the tranny and diff fluid tonight, just wondering if I need to apply any special anti-seize for the drain+fill bolts?
I got some of this, wonder if i should use it

the bar just got reset, AWD 800hp now, GT500 has its work cut out, it has to be close to 800hp else it won't sell.
probably with AWD too, the bar just got reset for the GT500
800hp or it won't sell. the war is on, what a time to live for us gearheads. I love it

engine oil change:
2nd time doing it, took the forum's advice and first drill a hole in the filter, let the oil drip out; then slowly turn the oil filter let more drips out. 0 mess, took about 15mins total for the oil filter. In the dealership if you don't tell them to do so, there is no way...

I am changing the tranny fluid at 1200miles. I have 2 questions basically
1. is the OEM ford ATF full synthetic or not?
2. there are lots of other oils that meet the ford standard which is Mercon LV, what are some of the best full synthetic oils available? I heard about amsoil a lot...
from my own research it is not a full Synthetic ATF.

that is over 3000 gt350s for 2015/2016 without tranny cooler/diff coolers. would Ford do anything about it?
I kinda want to kick whomever came up with the packaging options in the teeth; most of us who can afford a GT350 can sure afford the cost of adding 2 coolers straight from factory.

I recall in the manual it says something like if the water is above the inner edge of the rim(which is not much at all, just the thickness of the tire), drive very very slowly to prevent engine flooding.
the exact words are:
