I second that ....

Although it has been awhile since I bought my Speedhuts, at least at that time the entire set including the panel cost significantly less than either the tach or speedo. Just buy and install the set. There is a bonus also in that the Speedhut panel is slightly smaller than the stock one and fits...

Not to be a contrarian but: I had the short throw installed and did not like it. It was significantly harder to shift, and the amount of time theoretically saved in shifting is of no consequence on the street. I changed it back to original.

I thought it might be used in a new Mustang or something else new. If it is unique use, I wonder how long Ford will continue to sell it ...? After all, it IS a part, and many GT parts are getting hard to come by.

Do any other Ford vehicles use the same transaxle fluid as the GT or is it unique?

I take mine (2 times so far) to the local Ferrari/Maserati dealer (Ron Tonkin GT). I remove the wheels myself and just take them only to Tonkin. They do a great job at a reasonable cost. I figured that if anyone would know how to avoid damage, it would be them. Not a mark left on the wheels...

Will do!

So the original is on the left and the repro on the right?

I have the full set of Speedhut gauges and the matching dash. It has been a few years, but I bought the entire set including the dashboard for less than a new stock speedo or tachometer. The Speedhut dash is slightly smaller than the stock one and so goes in and out more easily, plus it is sized...

I think Hagerty is out to lunch on the value of 05-06 GTs. The prices they are listing are for undriven or very low mileage cars, and unrealistic for cars that are driven. That said, there is no doubt that no matter how much you drive your car, it's still worth more than it was new!

Not in mine, built August 2005

I've bought two cars on BaT. The site is great, but description adequacy depends entirely on the seller's honesty. One of the cars needed far more work than the seller disclosed. Fortunately, it all worked out even though it took over a year and some serious funds to correct everything. With...

Thank you!!!!!

What "Ford GT Then and Now" book? I thought I had all the pubs, but haven't heard of that one. Can you give me a citation so I can try to get a copy? Thanks!

It would be nice if someone would post photos of these bolts to show exactly what's being discussed and the differences between good and bad ...

I intend to keep my 05 "forever" if I can. Most parts are readily available now, but I believe parts availability in the future will be problematic. Ford does not make new part runs until there is enough demand to justify the investment, and often (of course) Ford makes you buy an entire...

I had mine swapped (done right by an expert) to a short shifter and did not like it at all. It was harder to shift and not nearly as comfortable to use. I went back to stock and am happier with it.

Anthony, you'll have to contact jcthorne. I don't know if he's even on the Forum any more, the last post I can find from him was in 2018, long after he sold his GT.

Yes, on one bleeder. Remember, brake fluid is a great paint remover! All it takes is a little leakage during brake bleeding and presto! Crinkly paint around the bleeder. Maybe some day I'll repaint the caliper, but I drive my car regularly, so I'm not going to worry about it.
