    Pro 5.0 Shifter Bolts Necessary?

    I just picked up a slightly used Pro 5.0 on ebay for $100 a few days ago. Well the guy didn't put the four mounting bolts in the box. On the instruction sheet it says they are longer and are necessary for the install...but would it be a problem to re-use the stock ones? If I need them...

    Clutch Replacement

    Thanks again guys. Another thing...will the stock exhaust pipes conflict at all with lowering the tranny? I can't imagine they would... I will definately replace the rear seal and all the bearings. Also, what about the cable? Is it good for another round because I think I might just swap...

    Clutch Replacement

    Thanks for the replies guys, I just got back from Tablerock lake. Anyway, I found a few auctions on a Haynes/Chilton manual, so I'll be grabbing one of those soon. So as 5.0Droptop said, jackstands will be enough to lower the tranny? I could probably get the car up about a foot on four...

    Any special tools? An impact wrench? I've been meaning to get one of those for the struts.

    Clutch Replacement

    So we just started getting estimates for a complete clutch/flywheel job on my 93LX, and the first and (so far) only place we've called is the local Ford dealership. Well the labor alone turned out to be $756...p'shaw. Ya right. We're going to call some other places and look for some small...

    Got vibration problems. Need help please. Video of runs inside.

    How do you go about twisting a driveshaft, anyway? I have a slight vibration problem too; in the higher RPM's...probably nothing too far from the ordinary though.

    Insttalled 3.73's today = WOW !

    I have a "Z" under AX. I guess that's a good thing...3.27's, I won't be worrying about getting gears very soon. What are the conditions of having the 3.27's over the 2.73's...just a premium package I guess?

    Insttalled 3.73's today = WOW !

    Awesome. I have the stocks...how do I tell if they're the 2.73's or the 3.08's?

    Passenger door hard to open/close

    Hmm this thread came back from the grave. Anyway, adjusting the strikers a little bit helped...a little bit. Whenever new people get into my car, I always have to tell them to pull the handle as hard as they can, then they can never get it open and I have to do it for them. It's really not...

    How to take doors off?

    What kind of rust problem are you having? If you were planning on replacing the entire hinge (and by that I mean the body|hinge-pin-hinge|door) assembly, then you'd have to unbolt them all together. I've heard they are a pain to re-align though. Although if you're just going to replace the...

    Correct black for side mirrors???

    I always thought that a satin finish was somewhere in between gloss and flat, but the universal black is just that. I did find out though, after repairing a rust patch on the upper black door trim, that the Duplicolor black primer matches the semi-faded trim that already exists fairly well...

    Correct black for side mirrors???

    I'd paint mine with Duplicolor "universal black." It has a nice satin finish. I wouldn't use flat black if you shine your tires though.

    Yeah but you've gotta admit...that looks pretty kickin'. I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't street legal though.

    Back to Black!

    When I first bought my car, the side mirrors were all light gray, and oxidized over time. Well I noticed that when I washed my car, they turned completely black when they're wet, so I decided to see if a little Back to Black would do the job. Well there you have it...saves me from having to...
