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.

WARRANTY COVERAGE
The Shelby GT500 carries the same warranty as other Ford Mustang
models. This information is covered in its entirety in the Ford Motor
Company Warranty Guide.
Warranty service for the Shelby GT500 or any SVT vehicle can be
obtained at any Ford dealer nationwide.
SVT does not recommend modifying or racing SVT vehicles, as they are
designed and built to be driven as delivered from the factory. The Ford
Motor Company Warranty Guide discusses vehicle usage and the
installation of aftermarket parts and their effect on warranty coverage.
Please see the Warranty Guide for complete information.
In the event the vehicle is intended for track use, and the loss of
warranty coverage is not of concern, the following vehicle durability
modifications are recommended:
•Install transmission oil cooler. Permanent damage to the transmission
will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition conditions without
installation of a transmission oil cooler.
•Install rear differential cooler. Permanent damage to the rear
differential will result if the vehicle is subjected to competition
conditions without installation of a differential cooler.
•Install Ford Racing brake cooling duct kit. Excessive brake wear will
occur if the vehicle is subjected to competitive conditions without
installation of a brake cooling kit.
Additionally, perform Multi-Point Inspection and the inspections outlined
in the 150,000 mile (240,000 km) Normal Maintenance Schedule of the
scheduled maintenance informationbefore and after track use. Refer
to the Vehicle Service Manual for removal and installation procedures.
Replace with Genuine Ford and Motorcraft service parts as needed.
These modifications may not necessarily protect your engine from
damage in competition conditions. Subjecting your vehicle to competition
conditions even with these proposed modifications may render repairs
non-reimbursable under the warranty.
