    Passenger window switch won't work window

    I'm not sure what the deal is. From the driver's side switch, the window works fine. But the passenger side is dead. Power door locks work from both sides. I figured it was the switch, so I bought a used one at Carlisle yesterday. I swapped out the switch itself (not all the connectors), but no...

    AOD Problems

    I was just throwing out another alternative. You have to decide which you'd prefer. An AOD rebuild can run $2k. A minor fix to yours could cost as little as $600. I'm a manual nut, and would much rather slam gears. It was a good excuse for me to get what I wanted from the start...

    Clutch Cable or the whole Clutch?

    Sounds like you still have the stock cable/quadrant. It is quite possible that your quadrant is starting to separate. I would go ahead and replace it with an adjustable cable. Could be lots of other things from the tranny, to a clutch fork, etc. but I'd start at the quadrant since that's the...

    Crossmember!

    I have a used one (See sig). It has a few minor dents, but I promise they would cause you no issue provided you're not trying to enter a national level show.

    problem when at WOT

    What's the alternative? Leave the car running like crap? It's not hard, but just don't go in there like Hercules. Be gentle, rub lightly and you shouldn't have any problems. You can use about any cleaner that won't leave a deposit. You want something that will evaporate. Alcohol should also...

    STUMPED

    Clean your MAF. At the top of your MAF on the inside there are two small wires that hang down. Particularly if you have a CAI, impurities settle on these wires. They are used to sense airflow and in turn the computer uses that input to determine air/fuel mix. If they are not clean, the computer...

    AOD Problems

    I had the same thing happen to mine about 2 years ago. I took it in to two shops and they both agreed that the clutch packs were probably shot. Neither could tell for sure until they opened it up and it was a minimum of $600 to fix it. The good news is I put about 15k on her just driving around...

    problem when at WOT

    I'm betting you have a dirty MAF. If you have a CAI, I'll double the odds! :) Pull the MAF off and look inside. At the top there is another small circle housing that has two small wires inside it. They have a tendency over time to pick up impurities in the air. These small wires are...

    favorite clutch?

    I vote for the Centerforce also. I've had the King Cobra and killed it pretty quickly. It wasn't much different than stock. Never tried a SPEC, but love my centerforce. Grabs like crazy, and is easily tolerable in traffic. You won't have to walk around with that lopsided leg look! :spot:

    CAn i use mym AOD crossmember with a t5?

    I bought a new crossmember for my AOD to T5 swap. I got the new one, and compared it to the one that came off and I couldn't tell the difference. I tried to mod the hangars, but they snapped off. No biggie, just have to weld 'em back on. That leaves me with the dilemma of what to do with the...

    Best place to Buy Shift Boot

    Check the 5.0 mags if you want a new one. I saw that they are starting to remake them now. I got a perfectly good one at a yard near me. I got clutch pedals, boot (with all 4 clips entact), and the reverse sensor switch pigtail for like $15. Go to your local yard and see. They are typically the...

    Clutch pedal not touching neutral safety switch; is that my problem??

    Guys! Fix the switch! If you just jumper it, you'll be able to start the car while in gear. All you need is to do that when you're in a parking lot and launch into the car in front of you! :nonono: I can hear you saying, "Oh, I'd never do that". Yeah, right. Make sure you are talking for...

    Why don't my reverse lights come on?(5 Spd.)

    Those wires just go up under the center console. I would bet if you pull the center console out, you'd find them tucked up underneath.

    AOD vs. C4

    Depends on your gear ratios. Should be somewhere around 3k, but you can enter your information in here to find out exactly: http://www.allfordmustangs.com/Detailed/608.shtml The point isn't so much that your engine can't handle those RPMs, it's more that the drone of those RPMs while...

    Starter wont Diss-engauge

    I really don't think a warped flywheel or bellhousing is going to cause the symptoms you are describing. Even if it was bent enough to hang up the starter, as soon as the starter spun the flywheel beyond the bent area, it would release. This wouldn't take but milliseconds and you wouldn't notice...

    Starter wont Diss-engauge

    It's either your solenoid, or as a real outside shot, it could be your ignition. Basically, your ignition will send the signal to the solenoid to close the switch from the battery to the starter. The starter cranks as long as your key is in the start position. Once your car turns over, you move...

    car pops loudly PLEASE HELP!

    I'm betting your MAF is dirty. Pull the MAF and use carb cleaner on a Q-tip to clean the two little wires hanging down from the inside top of the MAF. These get dirty (particularly if you have a CAI oil impregnated) and clog the sensors. That throws your air/fuel mixture off and will cause...

    AOD vs. C4

    If you are driving this thing daily, you want to go AOD. Build it up and be done with it. Yes, it will be more expensive, but you won't regret it later. That having been said, I far prefer the T5 to the AOD. I swapped my AOD for a T5 and don't regret it a bit. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I...
