I have a 05 GT 5 speed.. and have a couple of questions for you smart folks..

Is it normal for this tranny to whine in 2nd gear and some in 3rd?

My car was built 5/5/05..shouldnt i have the new gas tank? I have problems filling up sometimes..

Lastly.. where is the check plug on the rear differential..i cant find it..



Thank you so much

Tranny - Yes...it whines. Its a very noisy tranny. You hear the clunks and whines..

GasTank - yes, you should have the newer one, that isn't to say that it will work perfect every time. Of all my cars, I've had the problem a bunch of times on each....however with the previous mustang tank that had the problems, I think it was happening with larger regularity.

Thanks boomer.. anyone know where the check plug on the rear diff is?

Mine was built 5/18. Had no issue with first fill up, the tank was nearly empty (like a gallon). Next time I was at a differnet station and tank was about a quarter full and clicked on and off about a hundred times and when I finnally filled it it shot gas out down and out the overflow. So I had it in for it 1000 mile oil change and showed the service guy a print out and he said I needed the new tank. I would have thought that I would have had the fix in too ( unless there is some scam that the service guys run on warranty repairs or he didn't really check and assumed that since I complained and gave him the TSB # that it must need to be replaced) They order the new part for my car for installation 7/5.
