    The Electronics are one of the three trouble causing systems in Fox Mustangs (Cooling, and manual transmissons the other two). You got to love them anyway. Good to hear your problem is resolved.

    Interesting you should mention cooling. While the 5.0 was at Power they diagnosed a water pump leak.... so I spent a few evenings hunched over the front-end replacing the water pump, hoses, and thermostat. It's all buttoned up now. Took it for an extended ride last night and all looks well. Waiting for a replacement coolant tank I ordered from 50Resto... my original is cracked.

    So, what should I expect to go wrong with my manual transmission (I'm at 39K miles now)?

    Well if you install a set of FLowmasters that should help your transmission from failing!
