    Something bad but lucky too...

    Regular maintenance might lessen your chance of being stranded, but that doesn't mean that it will never happen. I've owned many classic Mustangs over the years. The one thing I've learned is that when you least expect it, expect it. Old cars can leave you stranded at any time. That's why I...

    Brake problem

    Too much info to write about the difference between DOT 3, 4, and 5 brake fluid. Do a google search and decide for yourself. I went with DOT 4.

    Brake problem

    Name brand don't matter, just make sure it is DOT 4 and bleed it through the whole system. Don't use the DOT 5 if you find it. Makes brake pedal too hard.

    AODE on toast please

    Here is the result if anyone is interested: Yes, they found the problem. The transmission was toast. It needed a complete rebuild. They rebuilt the torque converter and did the whole transmission. The whole job ended up setting me back around $1800. The car runs like a champ now. If I...

    Brake problem

    I would go ahead and change the master cylinder before you regret not doing it and have to replace front end parts. As far as bleeding the brakes, go to a local auto parts store and buy 4 new brake bleeder screws with the check ball/valve. Then you just open them up one at a time (start with...

    AODE on toast please

    Mine shifts into Reverse, Neutral, First, and Second with no issues. Like I said in Drive it starts out in First of coarse and will not upshift to second, third, or Overdrive. I drove in for a few miles and the Overdrive light never blinked. I did hit the overdrive button and the light came...

    AODE on toast please

    Are you talking about the harness that runs over the top of the transmission? If so, I have not pin checked it, but I will when I remove the transmission from the car and before I take it somewhere to have it rebuilt. Did your car have the same problem I am having, no upshift?

    AODE on toast please

    Kind of a long post, so get a cup of coffee. I know this kind deals with a V-6 Mustang (I posted in that forum as well) but the people here are a little more knowledgeable. I am having a problem with a AODE tranny in a 1994 Mustang with 3.8 engine. Just bought it from somebody and he told...

    AODE toast

    Well, went and bought a OBD II scanner from a local parts store. I had been wanting one anyway, so now was a good time to buy. Did the scan and there are no codes in the system. That is good news, I guess. I was kind of hoping for some kind of code that pointed to a bad sensor on the tranny...

    Does anyone know...

    Does anyone know if a AODE tranny from a 1994 Mustang 5.0 will swap into a 1994 Mustang 3.8 V-6 with an AODE? Any modifications needed? Thanks.

    AODE toast

    The tranny is a AODE (E=computer controlled). I am sure it has no vacuum lines. The check engine light is not on, no flash or anything.

    AODE toast

    Hi all. I am having a problem with a AODE tranny in a 1994 Mustang with 3.8 engine. Just bought it from somebody and he told me the car would not shift out of 1st gear. He said he checked the fluid level and made sure it was full. I confirmed that it was full. Still, stays in first gear...

    Shelby drop and Springs?!

    So there are more benefits than just lowering 1/4". Guess I will do the drop when I do the Granada disk brake/spindle swap. Thanks for the reply NoVaEaTeR.

    Shelby drop and Springs?!

    So, if the Shelby drop only nets a 1/4" drop, is it worth doing? I was thinking of just cutting a half coil of my old springs to drop it a little. Sounds like cutting the coils would be the easiest way to go..... 1/4" isn't worth anyone's time....

    Wanting to swap four speed for c-4 help!!!!

    Can someone shed some light on "case filled" and "pan filled" C-4s. I am thinking that the case filled C-4 has the dipstick tube that goes into the case and a pan filled tube goes in to the pan. I have a C-4 and the dipstick tube goes right down towards the pan. Is mine a pan filled then...
