    If so, who makes an upgrade slave cylinder? Or is Ford just fine.
  4. Clutch replacement advice

    Ok. I think I know my options. Does everyone agree to pass on steel braided line replacement? Otherwise I will choose RST with flywheel and other replacement parts noted above.What other transmissions is the RST compatible with if I choose to upgrade later?

    Excellent feedback. Any benefit of going to the RXT vs. RCT? Thanks. Kevin
  6. Clutch replacement advice

    Ford is replacing my transmission but do to wear and tear will not cover the clutch. It does appear that I need a clutch despite only 26k miles on a street car. So I am looking at either the mcleod ext or super street pro. If the car is going to remain normally aspirated will the super street...
  7. MT-82 Redline Lockouts

    I can so relate to this post. I have a Boss with 26K miles, stock, never tracked, and am having a 2nd transmission replacement. Despite my requests, they are ignoring the clutch.
  8. Transmission - 2nd replacement

    Ford has decided to replace my transmission again in lieu of repairing / rebuilding. Apparently the factory Rep is baffled as to why a newly re-manufactured transmission was faulty. The dealer is sending him the transmission so that they can take a look at it. According to the Ford Rep, for all...

  10. Transmission - 2nd replacement

  11. Differential vent

    I was having fluid accumulate around the diff cover and thought I may have had a leak. It appears the vent was releasing oil on to the cover. Apparently there is a TSB to install a longer tube to correct this problem. Anyone heard of this and had this corrected?
  12. Boss Transmission/Clutch Issues Poll

    No. Its completely stock street car. I also have a 2014 Shelby. After I got the Shelby, and compared the 2 clutch actions, although I know they are different set ups it however made me realize that there was something not right with the Boss. As soon as 3rd became to grind, it was enough for me...
  13. Boss Transmission/Clutch Issues Poll

    I never thought much of this transmission and clutch combo. It got to the point that I was unable to shift into 3rd and 6th under normal conditions without grinding the gears. I just took it to Ford and it took them all of one day to tell me they are going to replace the entire transmission and...
