    84 tranny in an 88 car?

    I have an 88 mustang that I bought a couple of years ago. The guy before me changed it from an auto to a manual. I took it to the mechanic yesterday to get a clutch put in and he called me today and said that the tranny is from a 84 and it has a different size clutch disc (I think he said 10...

    Trac Lok on an 03 Cobra

    Is the trac lok clutches any different in the 03-04 cobra compared to the mustangs before them? I've heard of someone putting 03 cobra clutches in an older mustang trac lok for better durability.

    Should I buy a brand new a/c system?

    I would have paid $250 but I didn't even contact that mechanic till it was all said and done. I originally thought o-rings would be replaced in the conversion. I'd have paid extra if I needed to. On the demanding part. Some mechanics couldn't care less about someone's demands. This is...

    Should I buy a brand new a/c system?

    jrickter, They did not replace the o-rings. I asked about it and they said "there are too many of them. There is no need." I called around (after the hose broke free) and asked other mechanics if they replaced the o-rings when they converted the system and only one said "yes". The price...

    Should I buy a brand new a/c system?

    Here is a pic of when it came off. This is on the passenger side of the firewall. The weird thing is that it cooled fine/better after the conversion than it does right now. I think that they probably didn't recharge it enough after reconnecting that line.

    Should I buy a brand new a/c system?

    I had my system converted to R134 two months ago. After a month of nice cold air one of the liquid lines busted loose. I had it put back together (and paid another $180:notnice: ) and started asking why it happened and why I had to pay. The mechanic told me that the hose broke free b/c it was...

    Single key fox body...

    Same here. Double :notnice: :notnice: But for $400 I'm willing to deal with three keys.

    Clear valve covers?

    It reminds me of the clear phones of the early 90s. I liked those phones.

    Converted A/C quit...check out pics.

    Sweet. Thanks for the information. I'll be calling them tomorrow and getting it fixed. I didn't know about that green dye but it makes sense.

    Converted A/C quit...check out pics.

    I just had the a/c converted about a month ago. Today I started the car and heard a loud pop and a release of pressure under the hood (behind the dash). I drove home and didn't have a/c. When I popped the hood there was antifreeze all over the passenger side of the engine and I found that...

    Just hit 235 degrees yesterday :(

    I've done the 3g swap but I thought I've read some where that you believe the stock cooling is good enough (clutch instead of E-fan). How much does the e-fan swap usually cost?

    Just hit 235 degrees yesterday :(

    Where would yall buy the fan clutch from? I just left Advanced Auto and he sold me one for 29 bucks. The thing is that the fan he sold me is for "non-a/c" cars. The one for a/c cars is 71 bucks. This guy seems to think it doesn't matter. Also, the box says that the if the bearing for the...

    Just hit 235 degrees yesterday :(

    Man, you guys are awesome....unless the problem won't be fixed. I'll check the fan clutch. About the T-stat -- I've had this problem since I've owned the car...I just thought it was about the overflow bottle and the fact that it would throw the fluid on the ground. About the fan shroud...

    My new overflow bottle looks huge....pics inside.

    The battery is not so much the problem. The battery tray is the problem. I'll have it installed today. For some reason I didn't get a cap for the tank. I'll have to look into why.

    My new overflow bottle looks huge....pics inside.

    Now this is why I get on this site! I didn't even think about taking the fan shroud off to bolt it in. How do I bolt the tank in? It might be self explanatory but I'm going to ask before I get into it. Thanks

    My new overflow bottle looks huge....pics inside.

    Out of place? Where should it be? The radiator is only 2 core but they are pretty big. I think thats just how Ford Racing does it. I know I'm not the only one running this radiator...I wonder what others have done about this.
