mdwayne Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 My 09 KR came with a supplement manual for the KR, but only in French.(I am in Canada) My dealership has been trying to get me one in English but having a hard time. I am assuming in the U.S. you get them in English. Anyone have any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalwart Posted April 27, 2009 Report Share Posted April 27, 2009 I only got a supplement for the GT500, not for my KR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gc12 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I've got mine in english but having imported the car in France, I would gladly exchange mine with yours... PM me if you're interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
09KR0058 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I got both a GT500 and a GT500KR supplement. The KR one is about 20 pages. If you can't get one, I could probably copy it and send it to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't get one, I could probably copy it and send it to you. Could you give us some idea of what's in it? I'd pay for a copy of it if it has ANYTHING of real value. I did something I've never done before, I read the entire owners manual and GT500 supplement . . . nothing much of intrest except the operation of the flat repair sealant and pump.

09KR0058 Posted April 29, 2009 Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'll take a look at it when I get home and post back here. Read all 3 manuals the night I got it, but don't remember the specifics of the KR one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdwayne Posted April 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2009 I'll take a look at it when I get home and post back here. Read all 3 manuals the night I got it, but don't remember the specifics of the KR one. Mine being in French I can only pick out parts of it.........it is different to the GT500 supplement.They seem to address the issue of loading and unloading with ground clearance issues among other things. Thanks for all the help guys. Wayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

09KR0058 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 The KR supplement is only 16 pages, so I scanned them all. The board won't let me put all these images/links in one message, so I'm splitting out into two messages.

09KR0058 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Speaking of this manual, there is one thing that I'm confused about. On page 5, talking about the short throw shifter, it says "With a shortened throw, a performance enthusiast finds the next available gears in rapid sequence." But, after that paragraph, in bold it says "Never power shift your Shelby GT500KR Mustang." I'm probably missing something obvious here, but whats the difference between "rapid sequence" and "power shift"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalwart Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks John for posting the scans, not much new info there. Power shifting you don't let up on the throttle (or not much) and you slam the shifter pretty hard. I've broken shift forks doing that on an OLD Mustang. The term "rapid sequence" just means a fast authoritative shift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this true for yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalwart Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Matt, Like Wayne, I hear it a bit more in the upper end but I haven't spent too much time above 4500 rpm, having less than 800 miles I tend to use it but not run it to redline very often. That Whipple 2.9 is sounding mighty tempting right now, time to save my pennies and sell some my amassed spare parts from projects past. Found work yet?

6-Speed Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Again, then why did my GT500 have the whine no matter what rpm or speed. seems odd. That is odd. My GT500 SC only whines when you stomp on the throttle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stalwart Posted May 4, 2009 Report Share Posted May 4, 2009 Crap, I didn't look in the glove box, it was in there all the time. I figured it'd be with the rest of the paper, I was dumb. :wacko: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
