Ford GT problems

Anyone who has a new GT, do you have problems downshifting to 1st and 2nd at 20 to 30 MPH? Also, does you AC fan make more noise than the engine when its running 1/2 speed or higher? I am also blessed with a leaking rear main seal, Wayne

Re: Ford GT problems

I was aware of the oil issue, the other things I mentioned I wasn't, just wondering if the other person who posted about his GT is having simalar problems to me, Wayne

I have none of the problems you mentioned and no oil mark on the floor or any sign when I checked the engine.
I went to the Western States Cobra Bash at Reno and ran 3 laps at Furnley track. Was a great weekend and that car is a supercar.

Is it possible it has some sort of lockout to prevent you going into those gears at too high a speed? Most manual gear boxes have a lockout for 1st, but I haven't heard about something like that for 2nd.
