5.0L Coyoto Engine, Getrag Transmission?
I'm currently looking into a new car and I'm trying to find a car that isn't trying out new things in their new generations.
The 5.0 Coyote engine has been used in previous year ford models correct?
So it's safe to say the kinks have been worked out and there should be no worries about engine specific problems in the future?
What about the Getrag transmission?
FRS/BRZ seem to be plagued with recalls, and problems such as "crickets" stemming from a bad fuel pump / fuel ethanol ratio?
I'm weary of diving into the new ecoboost mustang because of the new engine too.
And between the Mustang V8 / 4 Cyl and the BRZ/FRS, the only other car I'm looking at right now is the 2016 Mx-5.
Which again is a new gen model, but I can't help but to feel that all of these new gen models look so nice!
Hi Never ever make any assumptions with a FORD. They always try new thing. All the time having had 5 of the same types over a 15 year period not one was the same as the previous in any way.
- What type of engine oil and transmission fluid should i use for a 72 ford maverick? I bought a 4 door, straight 6 cylinder 72 maverick for $500, (it wasn't runnin is why it was so cheap), just got it runnin, (i replace the fuel filter & fuel pump), it needs an oil change and it need transmission fluid and i wanna know what type of oil and transmission fluid to buy for it
- Will a Ford Explorer transmission exchange for a ranger transmission? I have a 2002 Ford Explorer 4x4 with a 4.0 engine. The truck needs a new transmission and I was wondering if a transmission from a 2002 ranger 4x4 with a 4.0 will bolt up to the explorers.
- My transmission has failed due to a recalled part does Ford have to replace the whole transmission or just the recalled part? I have a 2005 Ford Freestar minivan one night when I was driving home the transmission went out on it while I was on the highway. After doing some research we found that the torque converter is a recalled part on this model. If the torque converter is the reason for the transmission failure does Ford have to replace my whole transmission as well or just the torque converter?
- If you put a new engine and transmission? In place of an old one do you they have to be the same year? Or can I put a 95 4.6L V8 with a ford T-45 5 speed manual transmission of a different year? Thank you for your answers in advance. Stupid answers will be ignored. The 4.6L V8 is going in a 2003 ford mustang
