Replying to: kicobra (Dec 20, 2006 4:23 pm) Try posting your issue on a more active Mustang forum.   http://forums.stangnet.com/   http://www.svtperformance.com/   http://www.modularfords.com/forums/   I don't know of a clunk in the rear, but my '01 Cobra's transmission will make a clunking sound when shifting into first gear. Nothing unusual there, many have it. Replies to this message: setsvt (Nov 10, 2007 4:24 pm)

Replying to: kicobra (Dec 20, 2006 4:23 pm) I have a 04 Cobra and was hearing a rear end clicking sound. After a couple of visits to the dealer they changed the rear spindle and the noise went away. let me know if you have solved your problem. I have owned 3 Mustang GT's previous to my Cobra and love this car more every time I drive it.

Replying to: sphinx99 (Feb 08, 2002 10:45 am) The mustangs weight problems will probably keep me out of another mustang. That and the much higher price (sorry, but over $40K and I'll go to the Vette).   My car is a blast over about 45mph, but around town it's a hog. I test drove a Civic Si a couple of weeks ago and it was actually much more fun around town.

Replying to: kicobra (Dec 20, 2006 4:23 pm) Don't know if you ever resolved your clunking, but here's another possibility: Check your front subframe bolts. Front bolts should be 14mm, rears 12mm. Apparently Ford incorrectly installed 12mm bolts in the fronts on a large number of Cobras. I read about this problem in a magazine article a couple of years ago. Basicaly the clunk you're hearing may be the whole subframe shifting in the chassis. My '99 Cobra used to have a clunk too - especially noticable in cold weather. I checked the bolts, and sure enough they were wrong (They're easy to check). I got the correct ones from Maximum Motorsports. It made a big difference.

Replying to: leftywayn (Dec 27, 2006 7:12 am) I work at a Ford Dealer and there is a TSB that says clunking between shifts is normal.

#185 of 185 '96 Cobra Help?/ by sgone930 Aug 04, 2008 (3:06 pm)
I am a Porsche dude however my brother is Cobra all the way. Only, prob is he knows about as much about his cars as gas,oil & gas. (pedel) His driver has 310K miles on it as he drives 300 a day to work. This morning going into 5th, he missed a gear and pop. Lord knows what that means. Anyway, he tells me he thinks he slipped a tooth on the chain as it has low power in 5th about 2500 rpm. It won'r get out of it's own way. However it runs ok in all other gears. I I am tryin to get out of trailer to go get him. Can't he drive the bloody thing home slow??? Any help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks again Bill
