    T5 Rebuild quick ?'s

    Well, I have a motor swapped from a crown vic or something;when I pulled the shifter boot off o fill the tranny, I noticed the two front bolts appeared to be inaccessible, but then this is my first stang, so I don't know if they're all like that or not . . . I really would rather not rebuild it...

    T5 Rebuild quick ?'s

    So I think my synchros are toast, and I have to rebuild my tranny :nonono: . . . hopefully I haven't already damaged any gears; I have a few questions: How long does a t5 rebuild take? I've never done one before . . . Are there any worthwhile upgrades to the tranny I can do while I'm in...

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    I'll try those . . . if I can find them. Also, when I drained out the old stuff, I noticed it was translucent, like pina colada lifesavers (lol) compared to the red merc that I put in it . . . BTW are those different gearbox fluids, or just additives?

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    Yeah, I figured it was just the tranny. As far as having a shop do all the work, unfortunately this is out of the question; I'm still paying for some of my recent upgrades, and while I may be able to afford a rebuild kit, I certainly can't afford to pay someone else to do the work for me. Not...

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    Great, I just read that the recommended fluid for most T5s is dexron II . . . Think I damaged my tranny by using mercon atf?

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    No, it only grinds when I try to shift it quickly . . . even sometimes when I don't shift it that quick, it wasn't near this bad before I changed the fluid. I just drove it and I do seem to have 1"-2" of travel from the floor before it engages so maybe the clutch isn't the problem after all; a...

    T-5 problems . . . . or maybe clutch problems . . .

    So my car was grinding pretty bad every time that I tried to shift it quick before, so I just changed the tranny fluid w/ Merc ATF. NOW, it shifts even worse than before; I tried adjusting the clutch, I pull it back but when I push it all the way to the firewall it doesn't click like I read it's...

    thermactor ports gt40ps

    Like others have said, it shouldn't matter as you don't smog your car when cold anyways . . . but you might need the smog bar hooked up to pass visual, I'm not sure if you can just bolt it up to P heads or not . . . . jrichker went overboard again I see, it's funny, I find myself cut'n'pasting...

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    Wow, I really appreciate that :hail2:; however I must focus on fixing the important things like my seat brackets (I'll probably just get some good cheap used seats locally, or a racing seat if I can find one cheap enough that isn't too uncomfortable) and seatbelts and the like. I grabbed some...

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    I didn't have a gasket and I wanted to knock it out last night, so I just used a bunch of RTV red silicone; I dumped some water on then let it set up for a while before putting it back on, with the water it tacked up real quick, in fact I started the car maybe less than 7 hours later and presto...

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    Hehe I showed the "good" side; the driver door is dented in and lacking an external handle, and the passenger interior door handle is broken. Both of the seat brackets are broken; the driver seat only has 2 bolts holding it in and the seatbelt is tied off because it doesn't retract :eek: so I...

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    It would be kinda nice to take my time with things on this car, but I don't have that luxury as it's my daily driver (my only car at the moment in fact).

    It Breathes! It Lives! It Spews!!

    Yeah, I know, you might look at my combo and say "so what?" But this is kind of a big deal for me, I just picked up at least 100 hp (my non-HO was probably making like 150), it's waayyy deeper than I've ever gotten into a motor before, and it didn't some how explode when I fired her up (the cats...

    302 vs 351w weight?

    Wouldn't it be easier/cheaper to just build a 350 hp 302? Doesn't seem like it's that hard to do . . .

    Explorer GT 40 help!!

    http://forums.stangnet.com/551505-freakys-official-explorer-gt-40-intake-thread-56k-dont-bother.html The explorer has a more mild cam, so the springs in your heads might need an upgrade (don't know), you may as well use the alternator too, as well as the throttle body (you'll have to buy an EGR...

    hp gains

    Everything works together, so it depends . . . . I've seen numbers up in the 290's or so depending w/ gt40P heads and intakes, but really it also depends on what else you do (cam, valvetrain, MAF, CAI, throttle body, exhaust etc.). Just the intake I think I've heard like 15 hp, enough to notice...

    MAP? BAP???

    Oh I'm so close to getting her running . . . I salivate at the thought . . . of discovering all of my mistakes in my build lol [knocking on wood]

    MAP? BAP???

    While a MAP and BAP essentially do the same thing, the MAP I thought has to be hooked up to manifold vacuum (unlike a BAP); and I do have a MAP apparently . . . should I swap this for a BAP? Or are they really the same thing? If so, then I probably have to replace it (because of the code) . . ...

    MAP? BAP???

    So I'm finally getting close to firing my motor (I hope . . . I hope I hope I hope . . .); I've already got the cam in, front accessories on, "upgraded" heads (e7s vs. the e6s that were on it) etc, and I'm working on getting my exploder manifold ready to put on, when I was looking at my MAP...
