ALTERNATE CALIBRATION
Your 2007 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 damage the
transmission. Make sure the floor mat is properly positioned so it doesn’t
interfere with the full extension of the clutch pedal.
Do not drive with your foot resting on the clutch pedal or use the clutch
pedal to hold your vehicle at a standstill while waiting on a hill. These
actions will reduce the life of the clutch.
Due to the high performance of the powertrain, a certain amount of
noise from the transmission is normal. This noise will be most noticeable
when the vehicle is idling in neutral with the clutch pedal out but can
also occur when driving away from a stop.

2Rear axle lubricants do not need to be checked or changed unless a
leak is suspected, service is required or the axle assembly has been
submerged in water. The axle lubricant should be changed any time the
rear axle has been submerged in water, using SAE 75W-140 High
Performance rear axle lube, meeting Ford specification WSP-M2C102–A.
Fill 6–14mm (1/4–9/16 in) below bottom of fill hold. Add 118 ml (4 oz)
of Addictive Friction Modifier C3AZ-19B546–A or equivalent meeting
Ford specification EST-M2C118–A for complete refill of Traction-Lok
axles.
3The Tremec TR-6060 6–Speed manual transmission on your Shelby
GT500 uses MERCONautomatic transmission fluid. Ensure that the
correct MERCONATF automatic transmission fluid is used as indicated
on the label on your transmission.
4Service refill capacity is determined by filling the transmission to the
bottom of the filler hole with the vehicle on a level surface.
