    Installing The Manual Trans

    Well if its over an inch it the spline line up. It shouldnt take force, just adjust angle, restab. Easiest if you're doing it by hand, benchpress style, using a jack really limits the movement you may need. My issue was the last 1/4". Car drove OK prior, but clutch starting to slip and made...

    Installing The Manual Trans

    Also if it STILL wont go.. Then talk to me. I had a rare/messed up situation where the trans wouldn't go that no one could figure out..

    Installing The Manual Trans

    How far from all the way in? If like 1/4 in then get someone to push in the clutch. If like 1" or more then its the splines, rotate the trans axially, get it to line up just keep rotating/pushing. Doesnt really matter if in gear or not.

    Gt40p Heads With Stock H.o. Roller Cam

    I just did this. GT40p heads, explorer intake with stock cam. I also added 1.7 roller rockers. My intake was dirt cheap just 60 bucks, heads were 100, but my machining costed 500 plus 100 for springs (valve job, milled, springs, fixed bolt hole, and cleaning for them and intake), so for 700...

    Do I Have A Chance?

    Got it.. I was just confused there it sounded like you had something set up with the Dodge previously for that night. Hope the main event wont be from a roll like that! The best shot youd have is at a dragstrip or somewhere from a dead stop, where your lightweight could make up for the large...

    Stumped

    I dont think its the filter it would have to be hardcore clogged to not allow even an idle. If the pump primes then it makes sense for it to start for a sec, probably not the pump.. Im thinking something electronic.. So check the timing, i know its not running so just find TDC and make sure its...

    The Awesome 89 Mustang! Post Yours Here!

    I want to make a suggestion to you, the paint looks OK but what really detracts is the trims. Get some of the black trim paint, tape off carefully and you can paint the trim around the door glass, then for the back and front windshield you can pull the trim off and paint it, and for the back...

    Fox What's It Worth?

    Its worth blue book, unlike 5.0s that can be worth several times blue book depending on condition. I dont know what it comes to but definately less than 2500.

    Bucking Issue 91 Mustang

    Id recommend to replace the spark plugs. I had a bucking in every gear issue and that fixed it completely for me. not saying it is the issue but it wont hurt either way.

    1992 Foxbody Gt Hatch No Turn Signals!!!

    Is your hazard switch turned on but the hazards are not working? I thought my blinkers were not working, but in fact it was my hazard system was not working, the switch was on but nothing happening, when I turned it off my blinkers worked normally. edit- nevermind i see you stated hazards work...

    Timing My 88

    In my opinion this is bad advice. Ping is a function of several different things and timing is just one of them. A good clean cylinder head/piston may be able to take well past optimal timing without pinging. There will be some variation but I would say in the 12-16 degree range should get...

    Yup, my clutch felt kinda jittery at first.. So like 15 miles into the 'break-in' i just started dumping the clutch and taking rubber between gears now it drives beautifully.
