    engine oil viscosity

    ^ and ^^ Very great info! Never knew any of that. My stang has a little over 94k on the clock, all stock, and I run 10W-30, used to be Royal Purple but now it's Mobile 1 because of a killer deal we've had locally on it - $29.99 for 5 quarts plus Mobile 1 filter!

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    Because the CSS doesn't complete its circuit until the pedals more than halfway down or so, and my clutch is disengaged at the VERY top of the pedal, so I'm causing it to push even more where it's already disengaged. Explain more on this switch... Instead of pressing the clutch, I would...

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    It's either make damn sure I apply the brakes before starting, and start in neutral like I ALWAYS have for the past 4 years of driving, or I risk damaging yet another clutch. I can't afford it, and IMO I'd rather take the risk of not doing something I normally do by habit. JT, already thought...

    94 cobra, should i get an aftermarket maf?

    Not worth it in the least. Grady will pop in here, I'm positive, but it takes A LOT more than what you're Cobra has done to be pulling in more air than the stock MAF can take. :nice: What you heard about Foxes gaining anything from an aftermarket MAF on a bolt-on motor was not quite true.

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    I had an issue with my previous clutch in the car because it grabbed at the very top of the pedal, and I would still push the pedal ALL the way down. I was told this is not good on the pressure plate or the throwout bearing, as it's just overstressing the parts. With the new Mongoose clutch in...

    Thinking about buying a '98 Mustang... Can somebody help me out?

    It is normal for Mustangs to have slightly off lines like that after an accident... And remember, not all accidents show up on Carfax. :nice: My car has been rear ended once before by a previous owner, yet the title is flawless, and the Carfax checks out great. Only way you could tell was...

    Holy CAI

    Freezing my balls off over in Pinellas County, Florida! :( My car has a brand new clutch with <200 miles on it so far, so I havn't had the chance to really open her up in the cold just yet! I'll get there eventually. :nice:

    SVE Mongoose clutch review!

    I've kept it at the top of the pedal, and the chatter is almost gone TBH when leaving a stop in 1st. Kind of hard to avoid it in reverse though, but it doesn't bug me. The clutch is running great, has close to 200 miles on it so far of 99% city driving. Easy engagement, and it grabs on really...

    New mustang, few questions

    Oil leaks are, more than likely front and rear main seals. A/c going through the defrosters only is caused by a cracked HVAC line. I had the issue, bought a couple feet of hard line, and some heat shrink - hasn't done it since! If you do a search for that on here, you'll find multiple...

    Are Pony Cars Getting TOO Big?

    I do! One of my bandmates is a big Mopar guy and he loves talking about the Challenger and its 400-some odd horsepower. He fails to mention the fact that it's practically a boat on wheels... I really hope Ford will put the new 5.0 powerplant in a nice, <3,400-3,500 pound package. That way that...

    How to tell if a woman is right for you...

    :nice: Very nice! I love the early 70's Chevelles, personally. Good to hear your wife changed her own oil! I'm still the oil changer in my relationship. :rlaugh:

    SVE Mongoose clutch review!

    Understood. I can see how that all would make more sense now, I appreciate it! I've gotta swing by my mechanic's after work tomorrow anyways to pick up some stuff, so I'll have him adjust the cable to lower it a bit. :flag:

    SVE Mongoose clutch review!

    When I let it out slowly, I'm using no gas at all, basically letting it get to the point where it's JUST about to stall, then I take my foot out of the clutch and give it some gas, not sitting there riding the clutch. :nice: As for the pedal grabbing, it's literally righttt on top, but I...

    SVE Mongoose clutch review!

    Hey guys, I've heard a couple questions about that clutch LRS is selling, called the SVE Mongoose. I bit because of the price, and ordered one for a Christmas. Just had it put in today, and have put around 25 miles on it so far. Everythings good, it feels a good amount grabbier than the FMS HD...

    clutch replacement on 95 GT?

    I like that kit because of all that it comes with. Almost picked up the RAM HDX master replacement kit for myself, but couldn't swing the cash for it, which is why I went with the Mongoose/recut flywheel combo instead. I'll put up a review of that SVE Mongoose later today when I pick up my car...

    Bucking under light load Part 2

    Had an issue that sounds exactly what your Stang is doing... It ended up being the distributor - threw a new one in and it's been fine ever since. On top of the light throttle bucking, if I went WOT, after around 4k rpms it would sit there and sound like popcorn. Timing was checked multiple...

    Clutch problems.

    It's the throwout bearing. The piece that rests on the input shaft (over the bearing retainer), and is connected to the clutch fork. 150k life out of the stock throwout bearing sounds damn good to me, so this is definitely to be expected. My stocker lasted less than 90k miles! As for a writeup...

    Pics of 2011 5.0 GT leaked.....

    God, I'd LOVE to be able to swing a car payment! It'd be sweet to have a 95 5.0 in the driveway, right next to a 2011 5.0. :D Then my 95 could go under the knife quite a bit...

    ill be the first to start it. what are you getting from santa?

    +1 :nice: I definitely put family and friends before myself this year, and honestly it's the best feeling I've had in a long time. Today I went out to finish up some little shopping, donated a couple bucks I had that WAS going towards my next pack of smokes to the Salvation Army guy in front of...

    Why would you want an S281 spoiler?

    Real Stangs go wingless. :D :rlaugh: Having a GTS I'm kind of forced to go wingless without spending the cash for one. :shrug:
