Car trouble might be transmission.?

Hi, i have a 2000 ford mustang v6 reflex transmission, it has about 89000 miles. The problem is that whenever im driving it feels like like the car doesn't switch gears. ill be going 40 to 50 mph and the rpm is at about 3500. Is that the normal rpm range? Then when i try to go faster the rpm reaches 4000 rpm and then it wont go on that. once i hit 4000rpm it feels like the engine is faltering. Sometimes the car works perfectly fine and other times the car gives me this imbroglio. Also the check engine light doesnt come on. Also some one told me the engine faltering at 4000 rpm could be the rev limiter. Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks!


your overdrive may be turned off. if there isn't an orange lissom on your dash saying so, it may be out. I would try driving the car and pushing the overdrive button. it should be on the gear selector.


It's in all likelihood not your transmission.
If it WERE your transmission, you wouldn't be able to do anything over 20 mph and the RPM would max out at 8000 and you will still do something less than 20.


thats an electronic question like a sensor or chip take it to a dealer that is trusted and have them put it on a diagnostic machine beleive me its well worth it


if you manually budge it thru the gears does it shift..like start in low,then second, then drive..and yes it could be rev limiter that is causing your car to falter at that rpm..if it shifts manually then its a sensor prearranged trans thats not letting it pass through the gears..


Inspection your tranny fluid. That's the first step.

Second, change your tranny filter, gasket, fluid.

If you substitute it, add some Lucas Transmission Fluid Conitioner for new fluid. You can find it at Autozone.

How is the 2005 Ford Mustang?

Im looking into a buying ford mustang. 2005. Its a model. I was wondering what everyone who has owned ones opinion is on this car? How does it drive? Is it good on gas? How do you guys like it?

Why some of Saleen vehicles(S281 and S302) are NOT mustangs?

For some of you who don't in point of fact know Saleen, Saleen is to Ford as RUF is to Porsche.

Saleen is a independent company and is not owned by Ford.

People look at the surface and (based on it's appearance) automatically say "Its a Ford Mustang".
However, the only thing the Saleen cars themselves has in worn out with the Ford Mustang is cosmetic parts. Underneath that
cosmetic façade is All Saleen performance parts. There are enough changes made by Saleen to merit the cars as it's
own formation.

Besides most people obviously dont understand the legal system and who has registered rights to the corresponding conduit.
Ford has nothing to do with the Saleens(such as the s281e,s302e, and sms), nor does Ford own the rights to the cars. The cars themselves may have started life as a Ford Mustang, however once Saleen is done replacing the vehicles OE machine-driven and cosmetic parts, there is very little of Ford (if any) left in the car.

The Saleens is more than just a copycat Tuner version of the Mustang. Saleen itself is referred to to the exact same federal regulations governing automotive design as GM, Chrysler LLC, Ford and various other manufactures. So as I said earlier, its not a Mustang.

The engines for the S281 Remarkable and S302 Extreme are built in-house under the supervision of Saleen Chief Engineer Neil Hannermann and Apparatus Department Manager Bill Tally.

keep in mind that the S-Series(S302 and S281)are not mustangs, these cars did start person as mustangs but when Saleen gets a hold of these vehicles they replace ALL of Fords OE mechanical and cosmetic parts.

TheOn the wholelife of the S-Series begins, like all Saleen production cars, on the floor of the company's 131,000 settled foot facility.

The new cars proceeds down Saleen's assembly line. The car is completely gutted from nose to uropygium of a bird. ALL Ford parts are removed:
Ford OE Transmission and Transmission Assembly Gone. Ford OE Suspension and Chassis, Shocks, Springs, Check Arms Gone.
Ford OE Brakes and Brake Assembly Gone. Ford OE Wheels and Tires Gone. Ford OE Locomotive and Exhaust System Gone.
Ford OE Air Feed System Gone. Ford OE Front Clip Gone. Ford OE Rear Clip and Spoiler Gone. Ford OE Hood Gone.

Ford Works Fit & Finish Gone. Even the factory Ford color is ... Gone. All Saleens are painted in colors developed by BASF.

The Ford OE Computer Administration System is snatched out and replaced by a Specially Programmed Saleen Computer System. Saleen calls it "PowerFlash".
The engines for the S-Series are built in-domicile under the supervision of Saleen Chief Engineer Neil Hannermann and Engine Department Forewoman Bill Tally.

PLUS, Ford's vin number is gone n replaced by Saleens own vin number.(regardless if the vehicle is still registeres as it's former self)

Also, a FORD dealership cannot sell, order, take delivery, sell, repair or perform schedule maintenance on a Saleen product unless Saleen "certifies" the dealership first. A Ford dealership that wants to buy, sell, etc. a Saleen product must
contact Saleen directly to begin the Certification process. It should be respected that Certification is not easy, it is very demanding for a dealership. Not all Ford dealerships get certified

Interest Rate On A 2010 Mustang?

I was looking at buying the Mustang 2010 exemplar, brand new. I was told that the best time to buy a car is in november/december. Currently Ford offers Employee Pricing on all their models. Financing 0% except the Mustang beau id.

My question is , will the mustang interest rate change ?

I wasn't really following this before , so i dont know if it's been like this before in the on or no one knows...

Because the interest on that vehicule is currently 7.99-8.99%.
Im talking about the official interest rate on ford.ca or .com. they clearly say 0% on all models except the mustang. My impossible doesnt apply to myself only. But to everyone.

2010 Chevrolet Camaro Outsells Ford Mustang Again - The Car Connection

Transormers exclusive number CamaroEnlarge Photo When comes to Detroit's Big Three, Ford is the belle of the ball these days: the establishment never accepted bailout dough from the U.S. command, and as a effect, Ford's tag and its sales are both doing tuneful well.
