I just discovered Bullitclub and have been reading the extensive posts on the transmission and "death rattle" problems. I am now afraid to start my car. I have some questions that I can't find specific answers to in the posts I've read.
1)Are the problems happening mainly in the earlier cars? Seems like most numbers are pretty low.
2)Are the mechanical engine/tranny problems only happening in the Bullitt and not the GT? If so, Do we have a different long block and transmission from the standard 2001 GT?

In now have 8000+ miles on 5064 and the only sign of trouble is the Hologram problem and a very slight 1-2 shift notchy feel that goes away in about two blocks, but nothing like what I'm reading here. (he knocks on wood)

Thanks, and what a great board.

Bullitt5064, welcome to the BullittClub!
I saw what you had stated about your
hologram numbers disappearing. You may have
already read the previous posts on the
hologram but just in case you didn't, please
don't touch it with anything while detailing
your engine compartment. Just trying to get
the word out. :smile: Again, welcome! :smile:

adequate, well...I didn't know about that.
(key to on for 4-5 seconds)
But now I do! Thanks for putting that info
here. :smile:
