What type of transmission?
Stock rear end gears?
Engine HP and wheel HP?
1/4 et?
whats that traction control button for?
oil to use? Synthetic vs conventional and weight
What are the common problems?
Thanks in advance
Dammit, you beat me to it, lol.1) 8.8, rear solid axle
2) t3650
3) 3.27s
4) 260 crank hp, around 235 rwhp
5) between 14.1-14.4 if you can drive
6) to turn off the traction control, lets you burn out when its off
7) up to you and how much you want to spend, i prefer synthetic.
as to problems, depends how its maintained and driven.
no sir...there have never been 3.55 cars for 2000 nor "other" transmission cars, you either have automatic or Tremec 5 spd...I think the Mach 1s had 3.45s but that is clearly not a 2000 gtWell the transmission and gears have more than one answer. Don't forget the Auto trans and also there were options for the gears. Most had the 3.27, but I know there were a few released with 3.55 in them as well.
why do people post these threads when a simple google search will answer any of those questions?
yeah, I love google, it's the "arguement ender" in about 1 secondi know, so many places on google that will tell every detail on the car. just google 03 mustang gt specs and bam.
yeah your right, but here i will get it all at once and at the same time build some relationships. :winkswhy do people post these threads when a simple google search will answer any of those questions?
Well as for the trans only the 5 speed manual was listed originally, That is why I said there is an auto option. As for the 3.55 there were over 200 GT's released with this option. The reason I know this, is because my buddies shop (which has been featured in several magazines including Muscle Mustangs and Fast Fords), had a 2003 GT come in with a blown rear. They went to put in the normal gears and as they pulled the old ones, he thought the guy upgraded to 3.55's after seeing what he pulled. He called the owner and asked when he replaced the stock gears with 3.55 and the owner said he has never touched the rear and he was the original owner from day one. The VIN was looked up and sure enough it came with 3.55's from the factory.no sir...there have never been 3.55 cars for 2000 nor "other" transmission cars, you either have automatic or Tremec 5 spd...I think the Mach 1s had 3.45s but that is clearly not a 2000 gt
That is incorrect. I have access to all the Ford documentation, and the only gear ratio offered in 2003 was 3.27's. That is what they all left the plant with. If it had 3.55's, they were dealer installed.Well as for the trans only the 5 speed manual was listed originally, That is why I said there is an auto option.
