    Why are all T-5 trannys garbage?

    Related question The 86 I just bought is the first car I have that is a stick. I don't count the SVO, I never drove it, just sat on it and sold it for a profit. When easy driving, it is fine. Under acceleration, it grinds or "bangs" between 1st and 2nd. Is this a bang of death or just take...

    What are the worst Mustang modifications?

    I think that any hood scoop that is put on (not by the factory) with 3m tape is bad. I think that clear tailights look is over. Big wings===big laughs. My number 1 horrible addition is the 3-4" exhaust pipes. I can't stand them. Went to the track (Cecil County, MD) on Friday and every Hpnda...

    Everybody in....debate

    Like others have said, if he/she is that worried about how much other people think he/she spent on their car, buy a vette or a Z or a used Viper. Just because Mustangs, especially foxbodies, haven't been in movies about street racing (except for the Saleen that gets crushed) or show up in...

    Finally an eight cyl.

    Has anyone been able to find 86 interior door panels? I looked at the major places I know of, but they all start at 87. And has anyone replaced the exterior and interior window moulding that goes at the base of the window/top of the door skin?

    Finally an eight cyl.

    Hi, after 8 years and 6 cars, I was able to buy an 86 GT vert. I have been actively looking for 4 years and found this one in Wilmington, DE. It was an engineer's wife's car, bought for 25th wedding anniversary, bought an Audi s4 for upcoming 50th, had to get rid of the Mustang. What do you...

    More Problems

    Hi all, more issues with my 90 auto vert. Took it out today (almost 60 in MD) for one last topless ride. Car had its now normal and phantom irradic idle after warmup, but when I came home I was putting top up and car stalled out. That is not the wierd part. The entire car died. The tach was...

    rough running car

    This is a follow up to a problem I first asked about in the begining of the summer. My 1990 2.3 auto convert will not stay smooth. The car starts and drives fine for approx 12-15 minutes, then all hell breaks loose. The car looses its ability to accelerate smoothly, sputters under...

    What is the most amazing mustang you have ever seen?

    My sister's boyfriend in 1993 bought a new Saleen. Black with gold accents. That car was pretty amazing. He actually bought a Black with Silver, but the lot jock smacked into a wall with it pulling out of the prep bay and he took the gold accented one instead.

    Roush Transformer movie features a Saleen

    Saw it last night in the digital version (suposed to be clearer)--great flick. I like the primary bad car being a Ford--camaros can be the good guys.

    Rough acceleration

    while I appreciate kevinspann's opinions, does anyone support this theory? I am on a limited budget so I do not like to throw money at a problem until it goes away. I know we had a hard time tightening the distributer down before, could it have worked loose and the belt having play in it be a...

    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    Wow! This car must be a POS. My day care provider's husband drove out to Chicago from almost Delaware in a rollback to come back emptyhanded. He refused to accept the car. He said that the carfax on ebay was clean, but when he ran it in person, it came back as being hit before. Lots and...

    Roush Rough 93 car on ebay

    Actually, my day care provider's husband just bought this car. On Thursday he was going from MD to IL to pick it up. I will see it whe I pick up my daughter on Monday after work. As long as he is happy with it, it is worth it. Hell, I am happy with a 4cyl auto convert.

    Rough acceleration

    My 1990 4 cyl/auto convert developed a rough acceleration this week. Last week, after hearing a strange noise from underhood, found a piece of plastic rubbing on the exposed timing belt. The belt is also looser than I think it should be. I do not know if this loosness is from expansion from...

    Convert care

    HI, the 1990 I just pickep up has a white top. What is a good way to keep it clean? I can see where the previous owner used some kind of cleaner because I can see the cleaner spots versus the darker/dirtier spots? Any ideas on a safe cleaner?
