John, two things about that, as I just wrote, I would not doctor on symptoms. The flywheel has nothing to do with it causally. You can do that when everything else is finally ok. Mustang drivers with manual transmission and V6 have the same problems as seen in the example thread. There are many threads like this. It is an exhaust and residual fuel combustion problem. The engine is programmed that way. Apparently, the only way to get ahead is to use very drastic methods, with MMC replacing the entire engine control system as seen on your invoice.
