    91 2.3l N/a T-5 Parts?

    Just went through this with the chevy S10 T5 in my cruiser car. I did a stick conversion and the trans needed a new countershaft. I had it apart so I could read the part number. A local trans and driveline shop had one in stock. $160 or so and I bought a rebuild kit to reassemble with...

    Ford Service Issues

    Deyhsa, Thanks for responding. My frustration is exactly because I only get feedback from non technical people, as if the issue is some mystery I am not permitted to know about. For the 97 F150, it has been to the dealer twice in the last year for the ESOF issue, first trip the xfer case...

    Replacing Battery...opinions Wanted

    I went to Autozone batteries years ago, and have the Duralast Gold in Bullitt. May or may not be the best, but they last well, and there are Autozone stores everywhere I go, including a 24 hr one here.

    Ford Service Issues

    Since I see a Ford Service rep here, couple questions- Is there a permantent fix for the intermittant failure of my 97 F150 ESOF? The dealer has had it three times and it fails again at random times. And now my 08 Bullitt heater blower motor is following suit. Random failure on a cold...

    Blend Door Actuator?

    Had the mode door fail on Bullitt. Its the only one you can change w/o removing the dash iirc The dealer had to look at the motor to match the new one properly when they changed it. Fixed later under the warranty on the replacement. Works fine since.

    How To Remove This Bolt?

    Are those star socket heads or E type heads? I have had to buy several E size special sockets/drivers for several of my vehicles. Take a bolt and swing through Autozone or similar and check it out.

    Drivetrain Tko600 Clutch Adjustment Issue

    Interesting info. I just converted my 66 Malibu to a T5 from a Th350. I broke two throw out bearings messing with the clutch. From my brand c escapade, it appears the tb should be clear of the clutch fingers when disengaged, and allow full disengagement. Mine worked out, but I got...

    T5 Gurus

    Some more info in regard to putting the S10 T5 behind a 350 brand C in a 66 Malibu. The S10 four cylinder, v8 Camaro, and 4.3 Astro van units have a case with a Muncie bolt pattern case. Some V6 models have Ford cases, 92 Camaro v6 for example. I got one by mistake... I have not seen a v8...

    Thanks guys. What I am trying to do is find info to confirm that only nwc 5th gears will fit, or will wc 5th gears fit. I have googled the crap out of it with minimal results. I find 5th gear pns and toothcounts, but need the matching sets to be sure. Wanted some info on tooth counts and...

    T5 Gurus

    Ok, I confess, I have been messing with my Chevelle and ZX10r for the past year, not my Mustangs. So I put an S10 T5 in the Chevelle. It works. but has a dumptruck low gear and not much of an od. Thinking of trying a better set of od gears. Maybe a tko down the line. Couple questions The...

    Bullitt Paint Issue

    Got the official Tier 1 Email CRCF email, and apparently the failing paint is "..operating within Ford's specifications." No wrecks, just time. Clearcoat has cracking and appears dull. Does not shine when waxed, etc. So, apparently the paint is satisfactory if it fails at the 5 year point...

    Well,...that Wasn't Fun.

    Congrats on your dedication and attention to detail. I looked at some Cobras when I got Bullitt in 08. I decided on an new car vice a used one, since its the dd and the blower was overkill. But they are some of the coolest Mustangs. Saw two at a cruise in Sat night and enjoyed looking/talking...

    Bullitt Paint Issue

    Ok, took it to the dealer. They declined and sent me to call Ford customer line. They sent met to the dealer for them to get photos. Got photos taken. Dealer said call Ford again. This does not look good. Anyone else have paint fading on the top of the bumpers?

    Well,...that Wasn't Fun.

    Sounds like it was a pain. I have only done a Fox, 302 and C4 together, once, and it worked using just a come along from a bolt above the garage door. Had to move the car back and forth... Engine or trans only since then. Just did the engine out and in for my 66 Chevelle, engine only. On...

    Bullitt Paint Issue

    My 08 Bullit seems to have some checking and clearcoat cracking or fading issues on the top of the front and rear bumper covers. Annoying, and I dont remember them being there when I waxed it last fall. Anyone else have this?

    Brakes Goofy question, but really need answer

    You just need to compress the caliper piston(s). I have not done brakes on my 08, but say on a Fox... Simply put a c clamp from behind the caliper to the outer pad and slowly compress. The piston will go back into the caliper bore, and the pads will have some play between them and the piston...

    08 Bullitt And Noah's Ark

    Bullit has been fine. Its rained since Tues here on the Gulf Coast. On my way to work yesterday, I had water sloshing down from under the dash onto the pass floor, every time I accelerated. Got to where there was a pool on the floor. Was going to google what book Noah appears in so I could...
