    Trans throw-out bearing

    My friend has an '03 Mustang GT, which we changed out the throw out bearing because it was sqeaking. We didn't put any kind of grease on the input shaft, but the throwout bearing had some inside. Well, my friend is making a long distance trip and says he can feel it grinding on the input shaft...

    Fuel problem?

    Guess I spoke too soon, it acted up again this morning driving to work. Then after work the CEL came on again. I bought an extended warranty with my auto loan, just not sure how those work - I think there might be a deductible, gotta find the paper work. It just sucks this happened a month...

    Fuel problem?

    Yea, I was out of warranty by about a month. Put the techron fuel cleaner in and noticed a 1-2 mpg increase. Started to only put Chevron gas as well, hopefully I don't have this problem again - I sure don't want to replace the parts myself, even though I'm sure I could.

    Fuel problem?

    Did that, and once it got to the last 1/8 of a tank the CEL turned off. Guess I'll be using techron gas mostly. :nice:

    Fuel problem?

    Yeah, the warranty ended last month I believe - I'm going to have to check Monday when the dealer is open. I'll check the connector, I kinda peeked under the car and noticed the pump has a metal housing around it. Where would the connector be located?

    Fuel problem?

    Hello, I was driving my '05 Mustang to work yesterday and I had half a tank of gas when I left my house (12 mile trip to work). I noticed my fuel gauge read empty and the fuel light was on at a major intersection, about 10 miles into the commute. Well after I started rolling again through the...

    I'm curious as well, is the $50 paint method worth the time & effort?

    To inject, or not to inject.. that is the question...

    Hi, Can you explain this a little more? I have a holley in-line on my EFI project, just haven't gotten the body panels back together to for a test drive. How does the inline fuel pump create vapor lock?

    VSS

    I did a conversion on my '66 Mustang to make it EFI. I don't have the veh speed sensor connector so I cannot hook up that connection. Is it okay to drive the car until I get the VSS connected? Also, does anyone know where I can find the connector at? I have the VSS sensor already connected to...

    which EEC-IV wires not necessary?

    Just curious, what software are you going to use? Do you know if it'll let you change the firing order? I cut out all emissions just like stated above.

    T5 reverse spring

    Awesome, thank you! One thing I do not understand is how you can tell if the transmission is WC or NWC ? I tried going by the illustrations in the Tremec service manual I have, but that did not help me figure out which I have.

    T5 reverse spring

    Okay, it appears I have an early style housing, with a late model 5th synchro setup. The only reason it was working is because the rebuilder had broken off the tab on the washer. Plus I'm missing and insert.. it was there when I put it in, but now it's gone. I assume it was torn up in the gear...

    T5 reverse spring

    Okay, almost a year later and I'm at the point where I need to get this trans fixed and back in the car. (This is my first project car, and I'm understanding the word 'project' more clearly..) I took the tailhousing off and found one of the dog teeth (or dogs?) and still have to find the...

    Can I start the engine?

    I think the last time it ran was in September 2007. I took it out to paint the engine bay & to help hide the EFI & engine bay wiring. Plus I got the case of "while your at it" and painted the block, etc. Half tempted to cough up the cash and coat the headers... Yes, flywheel is on and I...

    What to wrap wiring conduit with?

    Cool beans, thanks - I'll just use electrical tape, it won't be touching any exhaust - but it will be laying between the upper & lower intake and possibly touching the d/s valve cover.

    What to wrap wiring conduit with?

    The only wiring conduit my parts store had was red, in the size that I needed, and I want it all to be black. I remember long ago reading that you should not use black electrical tape in the engine bay and with good reason due to the high heat. What can I wrap this conduit with that will be...
