    AC Vacuum Line Size Question

    Hi All, I lost my AC and found that the vacuum line was broken. I jury rigged it back together so the AC now works but would like to replace the line. It's a tiny diameter line with adaptors on the end to hook into the larger diameter fittings. Is there any reason I can't replace the tiny...

    Coolant Leaking - Not Good

    I've got a coolant leak that seems to be coming from my timing chain cover, right behind the tensioner pully. If I pour coolant in, it will immediately start dripping out. I disconnected the "L" shaped hose that goes from the intake to the top output of the water pump to see if the water pump...

    GT40P Heads, FRPP Shortie Headers

    I've been reading a lot of posts on the GT40P heads and clearance issues with the headers. Sounds like some are ok, some are not. Has anyone had any experience (good or bad) with using FRPP Shortie Headers with the GT40P heads? Thanks. Barney

    Fuel Filter Quick Disconnect Fell Apart

    I was replacing my fuel filter this weekend and a plastic bushing and o-ring fell out of the quick-disconnect connector. When I tried to put it back together I managed to destroy the o-ring. I picked up a quick-disconnect kit from NAPA which is the connector and about a foot of not very...

    Where does the EEC read RPM?

    Does anyone know how the EEC gets the RPM signal? I recently replaced my distributor and noticed in my Tweecer datalogs that the RPM signal got very noisy. That would make me think that it gets RPM from the PIP signal but I wanted to check. Thanks.

    Teflon Rear Main Seal - Wrong part or hard to install?

    While my transmission is down I decided to replace my leaky rubber rear main seal. I bought a teflon one after reading some posts but I managed to damage it before I got it installed. The one on the left is the teflon one and the one on the right is the rubber one that I removed. The inner...

    T5 Swap and Engine Vibration

    I've been reading a lot of posts from people that have done and AODE to T5 swap and have vibration problems after the swap. I did the swap in December and have a similar issue where the vibration starts at about 3500 rpm and gets worse with higher RPM. The vibration happens whether the car is...

    T5 Swap Complete - Speedometer is jumping

    After two long days, the AODE is out and the T5 is in. All is well except that the speedometer jumps around a lot at speeds above 50 mph. I've tried taking the Speedcal in and out and switched from the new T5 speedo gear to the old AODE speedo gear after trimming it down to size. All of the...

    AODE is out! A couple of questions.

    After months of procrastination I finally pulled the AODE out. Hopefully, the T5 will go in tomorrow. I have a couple of questions. I've read in several posts and articles that you need to cut a notch in the tranny tunnel for the T5 to fit. It looks like if I screw in the back two holes of...

    Flywheel Part Number

    I just picked up the last of my T5 conversion pieces last weekend and had a question on the flywheel. The good news is that I got a new flywheel instead of a used one from the salvage yard but I'm trying to identify the part number to make sure that I have the right part. It's got 157 teeth...

    T5 Bolt Sizes

    I'm still putting together my AODE to T5 conversion kit and have read several posts about the Bell Housing to Block bolts being different between the AODE and T5. I'm trying to get the right size bolts before I pull the tranny off. I know that the thread size is but I'm trying to figure out...

    pre-94 T5 Users

    I'm waiting on a salvage yard to rebuild a 94/95 T5 for me to complete my AODE to T5 swap. They offered up a 93 style that is already completed. From what I've read, this will work in our cars if you have a 93 style T5, Bell Housing, Clutch Fork and a Driveshaft Spacer to compensate for the...

    Bearing Retainer Installation

    I'm waiting on my T5 that I'm getting from a salvage yard to be rebuilt so I can do my AODE to T5 swap. I've read in many posts that if the Bearing Retainer is aluminum, it should be swapped with a steel one. A couple of questions: 1) If the tranny is a 94/95, should the Bearing Retainer...

    UPR Clutch Quadrant - How much slop?

    I'm finally getting close to putting together my T5 conversion kit together and with it seems to come a lot of questions. Here's an easy one. I assembled my UPR Clutch Quadrant onto my pedal assembly and there seems to be a lot of room for the quadrant to move around. Do I need some kind of...

    Pedal Assembly Pics - What Year?

    Hey Guys, I'm visiting from the 94/95 forum. I just got a pedal assy for a T5 swap and things don't look right. Here's some pics. Hopefully someone can identify what year they came out of. They look like they might be from a 96+ mustang. Here's the back side of the new...

    I just got a pedal assy for a T5 swap and things don't look right. Here's some pics. Hopefully someone can identify what year they came out of. Here's the back side of the new brake/clutch pedals. Note that there are three holes for mounting studs and one mounting stud is attached...

    Shifter bezel same for Auto as Manual?

    I'm putting together the pieces for an AODE to T5 swap and was wondering if the shifter bezel needed to be changed. I know that you need the upper boot, but I wasn't sure if I could just buy the boot and have it work with the bezel from an automatic. I saw reference to a bezel/boot part from...

    Can a Harmonic Balancer cause Transmission Issues?

    I noticed this morning that my AODE was shifting funny, almost like a clutch was slipping on a manual transmission. The hotter it got, the worse it was performing. When I was checking the tranny fluid with the engine running and in park I heard a little thup thup thup sound. When I looked at...

    Power Curve Flattens out at 4500 RPM

    I went to the dyno a few weeks ago and noticed that my power curve is flat from about 4500 RPM to 5700 RPM. My MAF and Injectors are not maxed out, so I was wondering if anyone had some ideas if this is normal for my combo or not. I would have expected the power to climb for a few more RPMs...

    Mach1 Strut Install Question

    I just started the install of my '03 Mach1 springs and struts and I've got a dumb question about the assembly of the strut and how to attach the strut boot. The stock unit has a metal plate with 2 studs and 1 bolt hole for mounting to the strut tower. It also has a wider diameter extension on...
