    I have a serious problem with my stang

    Nope... just push the OD button on the shift colum. If you find that you can still accelerate in what feels like 2rd gear, then it was probably 2-3 acumulator. These valves are really crappy pieces of plastic and shatter under high pressure.

    gears on 2000 v6?

    Well, I can only offer my experience and state again that I drive the car very conservatively. Youl have to make your own judgemnt call here. Frankly, I thinl the chips are over rated and basically ineffective. My chip was reprogrammed 3 times and NO improvement. Would I do gears again.... NOPE...

    gears on 2000 v6?

    Gears are 3.73. And driving hasn't changed. All other mechanicals are fine. Except that I am missing 2 cylinders. I personally would not recomend gears to anyone concerned with gas mileage. AND to correct the speedo on a 99-04, you need to buy a chip or programer, only to have your mileage...

    gears on 2000 v6?

    Well most of my city driving is in 6 mile intervals. Highway driving at 25 to 30 miles at a shot. All done within the speed limit and driving like a sane person. Before gears, I was getting 28 mpg highway and 23 mpg city. Now I am getting 20 and 18. The mileage used to be worse with the Ford...

    I have a serious problem with my stang

    The color of my fluid was fine too. I hope you do not have to replace, but it does sound like you have some serious damage. In my case the 2-3 accumulator valve had shattered and plastic pieces became lodged in the trans wreaking havic. Car sounded pretty awesome though... sorta like the high...

    I have a serious problem with my stang

    Well sorry to hear! Your gonna be putting in a new transmission. Had mine go out on me after destoying the 2-3 valve. You might want to try disengaging the overdrive. You should find that the car will accelerate and decelerate but wind out pretty fast. After a little while you will start hearing...

    modern dash in 66

    I will do a couple of post here at Stangnet to see if anyone has an idea of what car has the closest fit. I might be hard pressed to find a Falcon dash. My Ideal Mustang would be one that has the 64 - 73 body styles with all the modern safety and comfort features. Personally, I do not care for...

    Window Help

    I am looking for a shop or person in upstate NY or North Central Pa who knows how to lineup and adjust windows in a 1966 Coupe. I pulled them out when I took the car to the paint shop, butr I just can't seem to get them back together properly. Any Suggestions :shrug:

    Dynamat ???

    I started with dynamat and found similar material at local auto paint store. Works the same and a heck of a lot cheaper. Entire interior is covered, but my exhaust are so loud, nothing would keep the noise out.

    CAR SHUDDERS

    I haven't checked the drive shaft, not sure other than looking for slack in connections what to expect. Gears were done 3 years ago with no problems until this month. Shudder is coming from engine/transmission area. Makes me think it might either be torque converter or motor mounts. Need to...

    CAR SHUDDERS

    I have 2000 V6 Auto, 3.73 gears. Car has a shudder in park and in neutral. Usually increases with RPm as it rises between about 650 to 1000. I had the exhaust system checked twice and no problem there. Stuck some Lucas in the trans, no change. Trans fluid is clean.The shudder has become so bad...

    Ring wash from running too rich????

    To add to the problem, if you are running to rich, eventually yoou will start fouling plugs, causing more fuel to get into the oil.., get it tuned. p.s. Parked my 66 and waiting for professional tuner to set up the carb and timing corrrectly.

    REAR END ASSEMBLY

    So if I understand correctly, having an AOD trans and 4.56 gears would allow me to still have good low end take off and acceptable highway drivability? I guess the next question is how to get rid of the spooled differential. Not sure I want to tackle either job. I have been told that changing...

    REAR END ASSEMBLY

    Thanks for the info. I am looking to dump the 4:56 gears and the locker. I can still have a little fun with 3.50 gears and still drive on the highway. The locker is a problem for city driving regardless of the gear ratio. If I were only going to drag the car... I'd leave the gearing alone...
