      Hi Eric –

      I have a 2003 Mustang GT (manual transmission) with 109,000 miles on it. The car runs fine after cold start but after driving for a while it feels like it’s pulling a trailer and I can’t even make it to 5th gear. If I let the gas go it stops rather quickly.

      I don’t know if this is related but it feels really hot around the front tires area.

      I thought it could be a stuck caliper but it only happens after the car is running for a while.

      Any advice / videos is greatly appreciated.

      Frank

        Jack the front up and see if wheels free spin.

          It sounds like a caliper guide pin may have dried up. Super easy fix, Eric has plenty of vids on that.
          If that fails, remove the drain/fill plug on the rear diff and make sure it isn’t dry.
