did not find anything physically broken, replaced the IMRC module & all is good in SVT land (for the moment) 


Thanks for keeping us updated! Hope this will help somebody in future.

Well lynching a second gear if it doesn't do any of the other gears that's more a problem with fuel or ignition system not operating like a clogged fuel filter bit spark plugs dirty fuel injectors something like that


plugs/wires are new, just pulled one plug out still looks new, but tbh was hoping it might be along these lines u mentioned.. scared of the transmission going bad at some point is always back of my mind ..hey scotty love ur show and honored by your replies

running really great right now, peppy, but i treat her as a lady. feel, saved the SVT from sure death. a kid, who bought if from his neighbor, who bought it from his neighbor both maintained her. the kid who just bought it cutting the muffler, str8 piping it, bought it the day after he bought it, wanted it. still nice inside & out .. feel like i saved her, keeping her stock and on the road 🙂   know what ppl say their value, but in the day i wanted one, and always loved 'english fords'


thanks InThrustWeTrust & scotty for allowing me to share.. *picked it up the day after she was st8 piped, not ^bought. former owner using it to go to a fire fighting academy for three or four months, not wanting to put miles on his mustang. they were about to add cold air intake, mods kids like and sell her ..brought the muffler home w/the car ..superstitious, don't wanna jinx myself Re seeing a mistaken statement about the car lol.. she seems sensitive, still getting to kno her
