Any dealer charging 380 for an alignment can afford it. Holy shit i pay my guy 50 bucks

I agree that a clutch replacement is reasonable. The employees fucked up. They talk about roasting the clutch and riding the pedal. The clutch is likely fine, but who really knows how badly the life is impacted? All four tires and brake pads? C’mon. Maybe the rear two, but I think even that is pushing it, though I’d…

Debatable, absolutely.

I am completely unsurprised... and very thankful that dashcams didn’t exist 25 years ago when I was working in a service station. And that’s all I’ll say about the techs’ behavior.

And since I fell down the 90's douchebro ancestry rabbit hole... Imagine seeing these around the fucking nursing home in a few years...

Whether you win by .1 seconds or 10 seconds....

I didn’t realize one had to shift that many time for a 1/4 mile.

.5 might be margin of error for an crap driver for but someone who can run consistent laps its a lot. 

No, it wasn’t a case of not good enough. Ford looked at it and said we can cut costs by removing parts. They defended the cost-cutting by claiming that there wasn’t *that* much of a fuel economy benefit to having a 9th gear, even though they’ve spent a lot more money to implement other designs and technology to chase…

That’s the same A10 used in the 2018+ Mustang (well probably a few internal materials and programing aside).

IE different clutch packs. Valving, casing, etc is all the same. The only other difference is software.

I think that was the 9-speed from GM that Ford deemed not good.

I’ve not driven the 10-speed in the F150, but I have in the 2018 Mustang GT rental I had.  That 10-speed was terrible.  On part throttle it felt like the transmission was slipping.  In sport mode, it held RPMs way too long.  Just felt very off.  Only felt great under full throttle blasts or creeping around below 20…

It was done in house (well, between Ford and GM). Ford took lead on 10 speed, GM on 9 speed. 

I think that was the 9 speed. Ford loves the 10 speed and uses it in many vehicles including the Mustang. 

All it matters is that Camaro is using Ford transmission to beat Mustang

“I see your motorsport-derived tremec hotness, and raise you. *checks notes* a slushbox out of a truck...?”

Yes, although the deal was that Ford would lead the engineering on the 10 speed used on RWD/4WD vehicles. And GM is the one leading the engineering on the 9 speed transverse tranny they are jointly developing for passenger FWD/AWD cars.

“Slushbox”

This is the same 10-speed chiefly developed by Ford, yes?
