    oil pressure question(dont think its been posted yet)

    put a real mechanical guage on it and warm it up to hot idle and see what a real guage says - if it drops to less than 13lbs at hot idle with a real guage you will want to pull the pan and pull the bearings. If it stays above that you can replace the sending unit to see if it fixes it - good...

    where can I buy a 9" posi clutch kit?

    how can I tell what one I have Trac-loc or Equa-loc? I believe it came from an early 70's Bronco 3.50 gear 28 spline unit - it is out of the rear end sitting on the floor?

    where can I buy a 9" posi clutch kit?

    I am told that it is not available but I find it hard to believe that the most popular rear end on the planet has no rebuild kit available

    Removing dried egg yolk

    I am an insurance claims adjuster - I have seen MANY egg jobs over the years - I will tell you that it DESTROYS paint - if you look closely where the actual impact is you will likely see a spiderweb type of cracking in the paint where the egg shell broke into it and the albumin from the egg ate...

    Speedo is off, but I don't know why.

    sounds like you need to pull your speedo cable out of the trans - count the teeth on the driven gear and then see about getting a speedo driven gear 3 or 4 teeth less - for example - if a 20 tooth is in there now you would need a 16 tooth replacement it should bring that speedo up faster by...

    help! with wiring question?

    Fuel pump problem is a bad relay - $9 at auto parts store - also it is the same exact relay as the a/c relay and you can swap one for the other to check it out for free - the dash wires are different for 1989 and 1991 due to airbags starting in 1990 - I would find a matching under dash harness...

    Speedo is off, but I don't know why.

    Check it out - jack up the rear of the car - block the front wheels and make sure the car is secure - mark the tire with chalk and mark the drive shaft with chalk - spin the wheel and count the number of times the shaft spins to the wheel spins to find out what your gear really is - if it is...

    93 Gt moans when turned left - Posi clutches?

    just came back from a drive - let it get to operating temperature - when I first started out there was no noise but as it warmed up the noise started coming back until it was just like it was fully heated up. Now I know it is in the rear and heat related and only when turning left in a fairly...

    93 Gt moans when turned left - Posi clutches?

    Took the plug out - full of fluid - it drained out on the floor for a while and I put in a few onces of friction modifier and took the car for a spin - no noise! I do not know if it did not make noise because it was cold fluid or if this did the trick - I will heat it up tommorrow and see what...

    93 Gt moans when turned left - Posi clutches?

    Soooo I am suspicious of the clutches - sounds like it huh? The thing is that it works great - both wheels spin under power, no chatter, etc... When I jack it up and spin both wheels - both wheels spin the same direction. When I hold one wheel and try to spin the other - it does not do it easily...

    HELP! STOCK T5 SHIFTER? FLUID RESEVOIR AND SHORT THROW?

    Yours may have been modified already - it is obvious where the black rubber isolator is - the two bolts at the bottom of the top portion of the shifter where it is bolted to the actual shift mechanism once you take the boot off and can easily be accessed from inside the car sitting in the driver...

    have not checked it - no leaks though - appears to be all original back there. I have never worked on an 8.8 before - is there a removable plug on the pinion side of the case?

    89 GT CONVERTIBLE ?'S. CONVT TOP LATCH, AND SEAT BELT HELP PLEASE.

    HELP! STOCK T5 SHIFTER? FLUID RESEVOIR AND SHORT THROW?

    You take your shift boot off and look down the stick to the two bolts that hold it on to the actual shifter - there is a rubber isolator there - this is removed and you can bolt the shifter back on with metal to metal contact - will not shorten shifts but will make it "feel" better. About the...

    93 Gt moans when turned left - Posi clutches?

    Why? Just noticed it yesterday turning into a parking lot at 10 mph with no stereo on. This only occurs when turning LEFT on a fairly tight turn - normal turns in the road it does not do it but turning a corner into a parking lot does it. It sounds like it is coming from the rear end - checked...

    I got the 3.8 1993 taurus fan in my 1993 Gt - WORKS GREAT!!!! I only use the high setting and a cheap $20 adjustable theromstatic switch I got from Advance Auto Parts - works perfectly but there is a current spike everytime it turns on --- I had a 30 amp fuse in line at the battery and it blows...

    How about flexible exhaust pipe stuff - they sell it in many sizes - brushed, chrome, stainless, etc.... I saw some at Advance Auto Parts last week in the back room - I did not measure it but when I saw some of the big stuff I thought about making a cold air intake for my other car....
