The SVT went off on a rollback last night... #1339676 07/20/05 12:59 PM

OP 91HellCat CEG\'er 9 Joined: Mar 2004 Posts: 62 Marietta, GA	I was driving to one of my favorite restaurants last night and came to a stop at a redlight. Then when the light changed I had no gears at all. The clutch pedal is still engaging. Only 63k miles and I've torn it up already. I'm hoping it's the shifter rod/cable. Any ideas? 1995 Mustang GT 1998 Contour SVT #5826 (SOLD) 2003 F150 XLT Sport 5.4

That's why I had it towed to Team Ford in Marietta since a good friend of mine works there and will prob take care of it for the price of parts. I'm not beating on the Stang until the Contour is back in action. I guess all the 2nd gear slams in the Contour finally took its toll on something. 1995 Mustang GT 1998 Contour SVT #5826 (SOLD) 2003 F150 XLT Sport 5.4

I was driving home from school, approaching a stop sign I down shifted from 4th to 2nd at probably no more then 45mph then shifted to neutral. When I went to shift to 1st the clutch didn't engage, but the pedal felt no different at all.. could this have been the same problem?? I had to spend near 700 bucks on a new clutch/labor. Or did Skyline just rip me off? 1999 Silver Frost CSVT stock for the time being.

What a pain it is to replace the cables. Took me about 5 hours to do it. We'll, 2 of those hours was spent staring at it thinking wtf do I do now? Hope I never have to do another set again. 98 Ford Contour SVT - No mods 02 Suzuki GSXR 750 - No mods needed lol

He told me to be easier on the shifter because the Contour/Mystiques and Foci have the same problem. 1995 Mustang GT 1998 Contour SVT #5826 (SOLD) 2003 F150 XLT Sport 5.4
