    Drivetrain Where To Find Locking Ring That Goes Over Manual Shifter Base?

    On short throw shifters, Hurst specifically but common in many, there's a little round black "puck" that slides over the installed shifter and rest on the base under the boot. You use set-screws to lock the entire shifter to its installed assembly. Otherwise you could pop the shifter up in the...

    Looking For Input: '13 Boss 302 Vs '13 Gt500

    GT500s are far more fun to show off and far more fun to drive as a daily-driver. You will OWN the street. The BOSS is an insane track car. I LOVE IT--there. But driving it daily, it won't inflate your ego as much as the GT500 will. Knowing you have 600+ HP on tap and those sexy lines win me...

    Drivetrain Centerforce And Ford Racing Wc Rebuild Post-mortem.

    Well I've now put 450 miles on the rebuild. Results? Happy. A lot happy. The first stab at fixing my 2007 V6s T5 woes involved a SPEC Stage 1 clutch and resurfacing/cutting the stock flywheel along with new ToB, slave, fluids. This did nothing to fix the sticky/notchy gears of the T5. (of...

    Are 2005 V6 Mustang Transmissions In Production?

    Assuming you mean the manual because the autos are available everywhere or can be rebuilt by most any shop. Ford stil The manual transmissions (T5s) are no longer in production but they have stocked ones sitting. It's generally around $4000 from a Ford service center for a new one. Or you can...

    Drivetrain Hurst/b&m/ford Racing Shifter For Early V6s!

    It has been quite a challenge in finding a classic, complete, short-throw Hurst shifter for the V6. Steeda makes this billet stick thing, but it's not a complete shifter replacement. I wanted that snicky-snick the Hurst had. Plus it looks all kinds of badass. Then I find out Hurst goes under...

    Cruise control won't turn on after clutch swap?

    I've done some research and there's a chance it might just be a simple blown fuse. If they didn't power down the car before removing the transmission it can happen. Thanks for the reply, and sadly no it was not Ford. It was a shop suggested by a friend.

    Cruise control won't turn on after clutch swap?

    So I want to arm myself with some knowledge before I take my car BACK to the shop that did my full clutch swap. Is this something they forgot to plug back in? Or is it an adjustment to the clutch position sensor? My CC will not turn on; dead-as-dead. I've also noticed *sometimes* the car...

    AC pulley should spin freely even with clutch disengaged right?

    Shouldn't our AC pulley be spinning even if idle? I ask because the car tends to be a bit rough at idle AND my radiator overflow popped even though the weather and car weren't apparently hot. (didn't know until weeks later) Now I am hearing squeaking (weeks later) This makes me think the belt is...

    Can I just drop a GT rear-end in my V6?

    I was looking into an LSD and gear and after adding it all up I'm not too far from just going with a full take-off 8.8 rear end. Will it just bolt in to place, connect to the driveshaft?

    Trip Tunes or Trip Tunes Advanced???

    I like the Shaker 500 and the trip tunes is only $45. I'm not a "stereo" guy but I would like to control my iPod with the headunit.

    Ladder braces for convertibles? (1989)

    I've looked over at the various "popular" part sites but can't find a ladder brace. Those have always been the best thing going to get a FOX convertible tightened. Any tips? Thanks.

    Looking for take-off brakes to upgrade my GT in SoCal, got any tips for where?

    If you can become "friends" with the guys over at GaS (Galpin Auto Sports) you might at least get them to set aside a set when they get some in and call you. I also suggest Agent 47s brake coolers if you want to make an upgraded stock system really perform. With the coolers my rotors/lines...

    Odd Question: LED Taillight fans?

    While I agree with all your facts my statement on Halogen/Incandescent was not to their technical prowess, but to the fact they look better on our cars. It's the art, not the science I prefer.

    Now that the 2011 is out of the closet...

    I am really bummed they didn't do a style refresh on the rearend. BLAST! The 2005-2009 is still the sexiest beast in this "new era". In my important and should be listened to opinion. :rolleyes:
