    Track Mode

    I’ve been warned to avoid using track setting on the street, especially when the street is in bad shape. Track setting sets suspension at the stiffest setting therefore you risk damaging tires and wheels on rough roads.

    P30EF-00 Code

    I have had no issues with my car at all - 5 bw, 6 spd 2023 6200 miles. When I scanned the car several months ago I got a P30EF- 00 engine cooling fan speed too high. The code would not clear. Then several weeks later it was gone. Scanned car today and it is back. Anyone know about this...

    5 BW Clutch Replacement

    Thanks for the great response! The last time I has a clutch replaced on a car was in the 1990s and the total was $350. I’m pretty nice to clutches and have had cars go over 150k miles with no clutch replacement. Hopefully the BW clutch lasts a long time!

    5 BW Clutch Replacement

    Has anyone had their clutch replaced in a 5 BW? I was at spring mountain this week and one of the instructors said the 5 BW clutch replacement parts alone are $8,000. I find it hard to believe the parts are that expensive. Anyone have any experience with this?

    Sport Display Question

    The key word here is always. The word used in the original post I quoted. I run rpms above 3,500 frequently when sporty shifting and to red line occasionally. There is no reason to ALWAYS keep rpms above 3,500 for v8 or v6 for everyday street driving.

    Sport Display Question

    This is a high torque American V8. There is NO reason to always keep rpms above 3,500. On the street that is.

    Skip shift on CT4v Blackwing

    Never heard of skip shift on 4 or 5. 99% sure you don’t have it. Some have complained about the 1-2 shift being stiff when trans is cold.

    1,500 miles service

    FYI, I have the 5BW 6 speed and at 2000 miles I had my local dealer change engine oil, trans oil and rear diff oil. I do not track it BUT keep my cars a long time. The maintenance you do entirely depends on how you use the car and how long you plan to keep it.

    Remember the old cop saying about speeding: 9 over you’re fine, 10 over you’re mine.

    Alignment Advice

    Thanks. It drove just fine before the alignment.

    Alignment Advice

    Thanks, and it is a good question. In my past experience with brand new cars the alignment is usually off from specification from the factory, even though you may not be able to feel it when driving. This can of course cause premature tire wear and I did not want to take the chance with this...

    Alignment Advice

    Had the 5 BW aligned today. 2023 with 5,100 miles. Did they do it correctly and was it bad to begin with? I do not want a track alignment. Car drove fine before and feels fine after. No noticeable difference. Thanks for any comments and advice.

    CT5-V Oil change for ct5V BW

    It is the manual. I have probably changed manual trans fluid a couple dozen times in my life and it is kind of fun as long as you have drain plug. This Tremec 6060 does, however I had the dealer change it, and the rear diff and engine oil. They did use OEM trans fluid, which happens to be AT...

    CT5-V Oil change for ct5V BW

    It really comes down to how long you plan to keep the car. I typically keep cars well over 100k miles so change oil (synthetic) at about 7,500 mile intervals. But honestly I think it is very rare for someone to sell a car because the engine is worn out now a days so I’m sure you could go...
