Trading the Z

POS VETT · 08-06-2015, 07:27 AM

Watch for the clutch problem. The aforementioned "transmission problem" is stemmed from somewhere within the CSC hydraulic. I bought a new '12 BOSS 302 and from the getgo, the clutch pedal has an increasing effort as the engine speed increases; high effort is needed by around 5500 rpm and above. I never had it diagnosed since I sold it in less than 2 years (under 5k miles).

Otherwise, the engine is a gem; you will love the torque curve. Enjoy the car!

I can't wait to get something new, though, I'm getting rid of the MT desire. It's no fun when all you do is sit in traffic.

Gonna try to go the DCT / flappy-paddle-box route on whatever I get next.

Wish there were more DCT options out there though.

Hope you enjoy the stang. The 5.OH is a great motor

I went all out with her and dont regret all the time and money. I have bought a used 2013 mustang gt with track pack and glass roof. It is a 6mt and has everything. Im hoping the mustang guys are as great as the z guys. I will be posting somethings for sale shortly so expect some good deals.

wow, afterall the work you did u still sold it huh?

even though you have high miles, i wouldve probably kept it and got the stang u wanted.

I was about to pull the trigger on a loaded '11 5.0 6MT when I tested the NISMO and it was all over. I love the 370 but miss having torque, which the 5.0 has in spades.

srbrubak · 08-06-2015, 04:21 PM

Wow, 105k miles on your 2010. I just turned 26k miles on my 2010. So far I only had a MAF sensor go bad at about 2k miles. Other than that, if has been trouble free.

mike12002us · 08-06-2015, 05:47 PM

ill post pics of it on Monday. This weekend is going to be busy trying to get everything off the car.

kenshin81 · 08-09-2015, 01:58 PM

how much did they do trade in value?

mike12002us · 08-10-2015, 03:54 PM

I was given 16500 for trade. Not bad for 105k miles.

mike12002us · 08-10-2015, 03:55 PM

Here she is!!

Duc_Z09 · 08-10-2015, 05:50 PM

Nice ride! Now get yourself over to americanmuscle.com and start shopping! A CAI and tuner is a good place to start, but you can literally build another Mustang with all the available aftermarket parts if you want.
