    16 S550 PP1 Slow Drip Differential

    Where is the vent located? That could be the case if I over filled it too. I'll give it a good scrub and see if I can better trace it out

    16 S550 PP1 Slow Drip Differential

    Hey All,I have a 16 GT PP1 and I noticed and slow drip on the differential. Not enough to be extremely worried, but want to take care of it.I can't see exactly where the leak is since the whole diff is someone coated. Was wondering what the standard cause of a leak on these cases are? Is it...

    Noise while braking after trip to tire wall

    I have the same exact problem with my S550 right now. It gives me the same uneasy feeling. I jacked it up, torqued motor mounts, checked paint on suspension connection points, torqued calipers. NOTHING. If I rotate the wheel forward/back, the rotor makes a slight clunk, but no way its it. Theres...

    Hard upshifts 16' S550 MT-82.

    UPDATE:I keep driving it and to be honest I think there is something a miss. I've been playing around with it and essentially, when driving normally say, shift at 4.5-5K, if I dont shift fast, the RPMs drop below 3K and it will be upset. If I shift fast and its at 3K, smooth as can be....so I...

    Hard upshifts 16' S550 MT-82.

    Hi All,I just did a brake fluid flush a couple of weeks back with my motive power bleeder. Pushing 13psi. After I finished, I went for a drive and its having pretty rough upshifts.Running from 1st - 2nd - 3rd- 4th, all gears have a rough upshift/kick. Feels similar to if you were to do a...

    S550 5.2L Aluminator X2 - Anyone done it yet?

    Based on all the component improvements on the XS, I assume it is going to have the highest reliability on track, or are there others in the bin that have been found to be more reliable? Reliability is high on my list as well. My gen2 only has 24k miles and 30 hours of track time, so definitely...

    S550 5.2L Aluminator X2 - Anyone done it yet?

    I'm curious if anyone has dropped the M-6007-A52XS into their S550? I have a 16' GT and was thinking this could be a great change for making my mustang more fun at the track :) Just looking for any feedback on the level of effort required to get this done. Feels like a better deal than going and...

    16' GT PP1 - Front Brake Caliper/Rotors

    A couple of questions of the PP1 front Brembo calipers, and the rotors.On the calipers, the middle bolt. Mine keeps spinning when I try to torque it. Can quite fit a 17mm wrench to hold it in place. Is there a special wrench to keep it held in place?Front Rotors: This is the second set where...

    Brake flush. Flush clutch as well?

    Yeah I use Motul 600. Last year I did 4 HPDE days and 120 AX laps. When I did my fluid flush this winter, I didnt see much darkness to be concerned about.
