Mustang Social Forums

After years of owning several mustangs, I finally busted a T5!!

For the first time in months I decided to take the 5.0 out and go play with another buddy in his 5.0, and I whipped a few donuts and sprinted off, then about 3 miles down the road I started hearing what I thought was a rod knock, and pulled over and noticed once I stopped and pushed the clutch in it was gone.

Now it will drive (though I don't dare, I limped it back to the buddy's place) but shifting into 2nd or 4th it wont go anywhere and makes a bunch of noise. I'm kind of proud of myself for being such a moron.

Anyone have an extra T5 they'd like to sell?

Sorry I don't have any to hand over for a replacement there, but way to go on breaking it! Sometimes the fun of cars and our hobbies are just the break up and makeups. I watched someone rip out a clutch in a 99 before and they whined about it, I asked them what the whine is all about and they just said they liked their car for show not to really work on.

Classic line!

I'll store that away for use next time I ding my b/friend's van.
