    3:73 gear question

    Since you don't put many miles on in a year, I'm pretty sure you aren't too concerned with gas mileage, so 4.10's would probably work very well for you. Plus it will help to make up for the extra weight of your convertible. One thing a lot of people forget when changing gears is that your...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Yeah, they've already tried to blame short throw shifters as a cause for the problems, so to be on the safe side, I would switch the current one out to stock and then back again after you have the fix done. I know it can be a pain, but to have the problem officially gone it will be huge...

    Gm Or Royal Purple Syncromesh?

    After a little searching it turns out that you want 3.2 litres. Keep in mind that not everyone is having success with this fix and that many people are still very unhappy with the Tremec. Hopefully that solution comes quickly! It has actually made me consider getting an auto Mustang when I...

    Gm Or Royal Purple Syncromesh?

    They are basically the same product and depending where you buy them, sometimes the GM is more and sometimes the Royal Purple is more. As far as the correct fill amount, check the stickied item at the top dealing with Tremec issues. Someone in there talks about the proper amount. I can never...

    What makes Flows drone from 1800-2000rpm? They don't drone anywhere else...

    I believe the scientific term is "harmonic resonance". Basically what it mean is that in any air funnel they come a point where the air is moving at an exact speed to create an additional boost in air velocity. This is why the sound appears and disappears so quickly. I'm sure someone else...

    IN with the old.....

    Everyone remember when Shelby actually allowed his name to be attached to some of Chryslers cars in the early 80's? Now THAT is whoring...

    I hate to say this because I'm as curious as to what the new car will look like as the rest of you, but we will not know until the car is officially unveiled at the auto show. It's fun to speculate, but why do so in a negative way? As with anything like this, only time will tell...

    Which mods don't kill your car?

    Now correct me if I'm wrong here, but they cannot void your warranty because of the use of K & N Airfilters. K & N is a brand like anyone else and according to current laws you can choose what air filter, oil and oil filter you wish to use because the auto industry does not provide you with...

    Which mods don't kill your car?

    As for the gears, I believe they will only ruin the warranty on the rear end of the car since they have been replaced from the factory ones. I am not very familiar with the Speedcal, but I believe it is just like the Hypertech reprogrammer in that you only change some settings and can reset...

    Which mods don't kill your car?

    Have you considered a reprogrammer like a Hypertech? It would allow you to make changes via your OBD II slot and it would be very easy for you to reset the computer to factory if you needed.

    Which mods don't kill your car?

    Usually when you are doing mods to the engine, it does not void warranty on the engine, just the warranty for that specific part. The fun though is if something does happen to your car, the dealership will somehow try to pinpoint the problem on that aftermarket part. I would suggest you read...

    Leaked email from Ford Employee

    Am I the only one who remembers back when they were going to introduce the OBD-II computers in Mustangs? At the time magazines such as MM&FF and 5.0 were telling us that OBD-II would spell the end for performance mods in cars. And here we are in 2003 with modified Mustangs galore. Back then...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Hold on there a second. When I stated that some J-Body owners are having problems with their Getrag transmissions, I wasn't stating that they were having the same problem in their transmission nor stating that the Getrag and the Tremec are in anyway similar, just that they are getting a similar...

    Official Tremec 3650 Issues Thread

    Hey guys, Glad I read through this (yes all 10 pages...) before I started scoping out for a Mustang. Kinda makes a guy pissed off just to hear about this, but just so you know, Ford isn't the only one with problems like this. I currently own a '98 Sunfire GT and have been an active member...
