My car is a 2000 SVT with 46k on it.
I am still having this intermittent shifting problem. It occurs mostly when the car heats up. It is hard to get it into gear. There is no grinding, but it's as if the clutch is partially engaged (i can feel a bit of a lunge), and its like pushing the shifter through gravel. I took it to Ford, and of course they could not reproduce it so i had to pay 40 bucks for nothing. The tech there said he had no idea what could be causing it (checked the slave cyl, but did not bleed the clutch) but suggested maybe the clutch was going. Now i have floored it in 5th up a hill and got no slippage at all, but how else can i test the clutch? I get some chatter between 1000-2000 rpm, but thats the only other symptom of anything.
