    Locations For Temp Sensors

    Temp sending unit can be put in the block drain plug (just above oil pan in block in cylinder #8 area). Oil sending unit can be put in the plugged hole beneath where your oil pressure sending unit is (unit under the oil filter area).

    2001 Mustang Gt Convertible Auto

    This is totally legit and can happen. I just got my 1996 Vert GT running again last week after the same thing happened to me. The trans fluid cooler is built into the radiator. That's why you have two hard lines running from your trans to the driver side of the radiator. I thought I had a...

    96 Gt Ground Locations For Alternator!!! Plz Help

    The only one I know of is from the driver side(left side) motor mount to the frame behind the left front tire. I've never seen any other grounds other than these. Have you taken the alternator back to the store and had them check to make sure it's good? I've seen bad alternators off the shelf.

    96 Gt Ground Locations For Alternator!!! Plz Help

    More than likely, you found your problem with that wire. There are two grounds near the battery, on the radiator support. The other ground is from the driver side motor mount to the frame.

    Stereo Install

    Nothing really that great about the Mach 460. I've had it in a couple Stangs that I've had. I pulled mine out and went with all aftermarket head unit, amps, speakers, sub, etc. Much easier to do this and you will end up with a better sound system. As for your question if you can use it in...

    1996 Oil Pan R2

    I haven't really looked for a bung, but not sure if they make them that big. I was hoping someone ran in to this issue already and had a quick fix. Everyone is just telling me to use a pan without the sensor and just cut the wiring off. I was kind of wanting to keep the sensor even though I...

    Engine Every Time My Car Is In Drive And I Press The Gas It Just Revs The Engine Like I'm In Neutral.

    Did you check your transmission fluid level on the dipstick? If its low, add and see if that helps. If its good, your transmission will need further diagnosis. Mine just went bad and I'm in the process of replacing it. How many miles on you Stang?

    1996 Oil Pan R2

    I've got a 96 GT Vert with long tube headers that I have to replace the oil pan because of rust. It has the oil level sensor on the side. I can't find a new oil pan with this sensor. All the oil pans I find are for 96 to 2004 4.6 and don't have provisions for this sensor. I'd like to keep the...

    96 Gt Low Oil Sensor Help?!?!?!?!

    No answer to your question, but mine is broke too. I rigged something up with elect connectors and it works. On a side note, I need a new oil pan and can't fine one with the low oil sensor. Wonder how to delete it without having a light on in the dash?

    4r70w Differences. Could Use Some Advice

    I'm in the same boat as you. My 96 GT convertible's 4R70W is slipping bad. Working on pulling it out right now. I went to the junk yard and found lots of CVs, Marquis, and Lincolns that are supposed to have the 4R70W. For some reason the linkage on the trans looks different than mine, so not...

    Header Questions

    - only go with long tubes - shorties do nothing that the stock manifolds can't do - I have BBK long tubes on my 96 GT vert (lowered) (auto trans) and haven't scraped anything yet - I thought the install on the auto was more difficult than manual because of clearance issues - support your engine...

    Help

    ^^ What he said. If you are loosing coolant and it's coming out the tailpipes, you more than likely have a blown head gasket. Symptoms are milky oil or oil in your coolant reservoir. But you may or may not have both. You could also do a compression test to see if you have a cylinder that's...

    Not Sure What To Do Here

    If you drained it, refilling with fresh fluid should be enough. If it makes you feel better, run it for a week and drain/refill again. Won't hurt to do that...

    Clueless Question

    Flexplates are for automatic transmissions. Flywheels are for manual transmissions. One or the other. Your car is a manual so you only have a flywheel.
