Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 1991 LX to start working on and building up. Could use any input ,suggestions and help you are willing to give. Thanks.
If you check it pull the full first before you pull the drain I've seen guys pull the drain first and can't get the fill out and now they have to remove the trans in order to fill the dang thing
Good advice however you don't have to pull the trans out to fill it back up (if it's a T5). Just need to remove the shifter and fill from there. At least that's how it has worked for me for other vehicles.
Thanks for the info guys. I'll check it out and see if I am able to do it. It's a T5 what kind of trans oil should I use?If you check it pull the full first before you pull the drain I've seen guys pull the drain first and can't get the fill out and now they have to remove the trans in order to fill the dang thing
Feel better after that rant?@5.0notslow
I vote paint first. If you already have a good running motor then just enjoy it for a little while and put the $$ into paint. From the looks of the body it looks straight so very little time spent on body work which saves money. In the perfect world, i'd pull the motor and do the HCI while sending the car out to paint so they can shoot the engine bay too. I hate looking at cars with clean paint jobs just to open the hood and see a different color engine bay.
There are plenty of hopped up fast mustangs that look like junk because all people want to do in those cars is go fast. So a motor gets all the attention, gets rebuilt, gets modified and the car is fast. This happens from owner to owner while the interior looks like junk and the paint and body looks like junk but hey it's fast right? Looks like just another beater.
How about a clean good running Mustang that displays the pride and the love that we have for these vehicles! Anyways it's your 5.0 and congrats on getting the vehicle.
Hahaha thanks. I thought it would be cool, to me at least, to see how far I go with my mustang and to see it progress..
