Not as noticeable in the autos due to the torque convertor acting as a dampener, and possibly also because the Tremec is contributing a bit too.

Great to hear your car is as it should be Merc.Not all cars have shunt, its a random NCO Redhawk reckons his car has virtually none also so unfortunatley you spend your $65k and take your chances.

Redhawk ....Time to lay this fairytale aside...... Donating Members 2,657 Member For: 22y 1m 27d Gender: Male Location: In the Ferry on the River Styx, not getting out just yet! Posted 04/06/04 12:51 AM Share Posted 04/06/04 12:51 AM Yep, mondie is right, I have very little shunt, I can make it do it if I try really hard, but normal driving it is fine.Unfortunatley Ford have put a clutch in that is just up to the task...........built to a price.I hope the HO has a bit more thought put into it, cause at 350kw the clutch they have put in the GT's will not be able to handle it reliably Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/11117-i-drove-a-mates-gt-last-week-and-guess-what/page/2/#findComment-130361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
