Driving Your Shelby Gt500; Alternate Calibration; Transmission Operation - Ford 2010 Shelby GT500 Supplement Manual

Driving your Shelby GT500

ALTERNATE CALIBRATION

Your Shelby GT500 power train control module (PCM) strategy contains
a feature to limit supercharger boost pressure and engine speed to
4000 rpm for the first five consecutive miles of vehicle operation or 50
engine start/warm up cycles. This feature is enabled prior to shipment. If
neither of these conditions have been satisfied prior to customer
delivery, full power will not be available.
MANUAL 6 SPEED TRANSMISSION OPERATION
Using the clutch
The manual transmission has a starter interlock that prevents cranking
the engine unless the clutch pedal is fully depressed.
To start the vehicle:
1. Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2. Press the clutch pedal to the floor, then put the gearshift lever in the
neutral position.
3. Start the engine, then press the brake pedal and release the parking
brake.
4. Move the gearshift lever to 1st gear, then slowly release the clutch
pedal while slowly pressing on the accelerator.
During each shift, the clutch pedal must be fully depressed to the floor.
Failure to fully depress the clutch pedal to the floor may cause increased
shift efforts, prematurely wear transmission components, or cause gear
clash or damage to the transmission. Make sure the floor mat is properly
positioned so it doesn't interfere with the full extension of the clutch
pedal.
