MANUAL TRANSMISSION
Using the Clutch
Note:During each shift, you must fully pressthe clutch pedal to the floor and fullyrelease the accelerator. Failure to followthis may cause increased shift efforts,prematurely wear transmissioncomponents, or cause gear clash or damageto the transmission. Make sure you properlyposition the floor mat so it does not interferewith the full extension of the clutch pedal.
Note:If you attempt to shift when the drivewheels are spinning with a loss of traction,it is possible to cause damage to thetransmission. Do not attempt to shift whenthe drive wheels do not have traction.
Note:Do not drive with your foot resting onthe clutch pedal or use the clutch pedal tohold your vehicle at a standstill whilewaiting on a hill. These actions will reducethe life of the clutch.
Your vehicle has a twin disc clutch. Due tothe high performance of the powertrain, acertain amount of noise from thetransmission is normal.
The manual transmission has a starterinterlock that prevents cranking the engineunless you fully press the clutch pedal.
To start the vehicle:
1.Make sure the parking brake is fully set.
2.Press the clutch pedal to the floor, thenput the transmission in neutral (N).
3.Start the engine, then press the brakepedal and release the parking brake.
4.Move the transmission to position 1 ,then slowly release the clutch pedalwhile slowly pressing on theaccelerator.
5.To reverse, lift up on the reverselockout ring found under the shift knoband move the transmission fully to theleft and forward.
Recommended Shift Speeds forMaximum Fuel Economy
When accelerating, upshift according tothe following chart:
Shift from:
12 mph (19 km/h)1-2
23 mph (37 km/h)2-3
32 mph (51 km/h)3-4
41 mph (66 km/h)4-5
42 mph (67 km/h)5-6
Operating at High Speeds
Your ST vehicle is capable of high speedsand has tires rated for the vehicle’smaximum speed. Remember to drivesafely, obey all traffic laws and onlyoperate your ST vehicle at high speeds atlocations equipped and designed to do sosafely.

If you use oil and fluids that do not meetthe defined specification and viscositygrades this may lead to:
•Component damage which may not becovered by the vehicle Warranty.
•Longer engine cranking periods.
•Increased emission levels.
•Reduced engine performance.
•Reduced fuel economy.
•Degraded brake performance.
We recommend Motorcraft motor oil foryour vehicle. If Motorcraft oil is notavailable, use motor oils of therecommended viscosity grade that meetAPI SN requirements and display the APICertification Mark for gasoline engines. Donot use oil labeled with API SN servicecategory unless the label also displays theAPI certification mark.
An oil that displays this symbol conformsto current engine, emission system andfuel economy performance standards ofthe International Lubricant Standardizationand Approval Committee (ILSAC).
Do not use supplemental engine oiladditives because they are unnecessaryand could lead to engine damage that maynot be covered by your vehicle warranty.
Note:Ford recommends using DOT 4 LowViscosity (LV) High Performance Brake Fluidor equivalent meeting WSS-M6C65-A2. Useof any fluid other than the recommendedfluid may cause degraded brakeperformance and not meet the Fordperformance standards. Keep brake fluidclean and dry. Contamination with dirt,water, petroleum products or othermaterials may result in brake systemdamage and possible failure.
