Was on a road trip and ended up parking next to this mustang. Not only another Ingot Silver but also a 59G option glass roofed car like mine! First time seeing another one in the wild. The only difference was theirs was a V6.
Hi everyone,
My new to me 2007 Mustang GT CS. Already has a nice list of mods. Loving it so far!
I’m just a wife who knows nothing about cars, but my husband’s 2014 Mustang GT has been down for almost a year. We have had it diagnosed 3 different places, poured three grand so far into it, and after a couple weeks it’s running funky again. We’ve changed the radiator, a new thermostat?? and most recently the O2 sensors. I think the first two places were bullshitting me just to get some money. (He works almost 7 days a week so i’m taking it to get diagnosed and worked on)
We bought a code reader and the code it was showing was for O2 sensors that’s why they were changed. It drives great one day, most recently for about a week, then the next he drives a few miles and starts losing power, the odometer and RPMs go to zero. It just started again today after a big storm. Almost wondering if it has something to do with the heavy rain. It started messing up a year ago after a bad hail storm. Has anyone had similar issues?
I’m trying to diagnose a weird clutch hydraulic issue on my 2005 Mustang GT (TR-3650).
The clutch system has had pretty much all parts replaced:
New clutch/flywheel
New throwout bearing/slave cylinder
New master cylinder
New braided steel clutch line
New brake fluid reservoir
Fresh brake fluid
Vacuum bled the system multiple times
The problem is that when the car sits for several hours/overnight, the first time I press the clutch pedal, it has little to no pressure and the engagement point is noticeably different. It also makes it difficult/impossible to get the car into gear.
However, if I push the clutch pedal down and then slide my foot off the pedal quickly so the pedal can snap/rebound back up, the clutch pressure immediately comes back and the pedal feels completely normal again.
Once the pressure comes back, the clutch works normally and I can drive the car without an obvious issue.
I’ve checked for obvious fluid leaks and don’t see any, and the fluid level stays normal. I’ve also vacuum-bled the system several times, but I’m not seeing obvious air coming out.
At this point, basically the entire hydraulic system has been replaced, so I’m trying to figure out what could still be causing the pressure to disappear while the car is sitting.
Has anyone experienced this exact symptom? Could this be an internal hydraulic bypass, an issue with the master cylinder, trapped air that isn’t being removed by vacuum bleeding, or something with the slave/TOB?
The fact that the pressure comes back immediately when I let the pedal snap back up is what really has me confused.
Any ideas on what to test next would be appreciated.
TLDR: 2005 Mustang GT losing clutch pressure after sitting overnight. Replaced clutch, TOB/slave, master cylinder, braided line, reservoir, and vacuum-bled multiple times. No visible fluid loss.
First pedal press has little/no pressure, but if I push it down and quickly let it snap back up, pressure returns and works normally. Any idea what could cause this?
