    VERY strange problem, clutch maybe? Help please!

    If the engine is stumbling, it wouldnt have anything to do with the clutch. If the clutch was badly slipping, the RPMs would go up, but the car wouldnt be accelerating. I dunno, maybe start by cleaning the MAF.

    My road to hopfully passing Emissions

    Well, they do emissions testing in my county too, and they can also lose their license for doing it illegally. Not sure about CA, but around here they dont have to dyno(smog) anything 98+, they just plug the computer into it. But since I have longtubes, i have a "slow response from O2" codes...

    Tranny/Clutch Problem, PLEASE HELP!

    Its a female torx bit if i recall correctly. Sears hardware should sell them in a set(not individually-I already tried). And as for the motor-good luck. Dont put anything under the pan, unless its the edge where the pan meets the block. Sounds like it might be a dangerous balancing act to me...

    SVTTECH I need your help!

    Odd... Quite possibly the clutch. Might as well try a new cable(FMS adjustable if you got the money). And if that aint it, you could use the cable anyway. Anything other than the cable or friction in the pedal, is going to require a tear down. And while your there just replace everything to save...

    98 GT - Wont Start?

    More like, it requires a lot of amperage(quantity), something the battery doesnt have enough of for the starter, but does have enough of for the lights etc.

    cant get in 3

    If it goes in fine any other time, in any other gear its probably not the clutch. Probably the syncros in the tranny. 1-4 syncros take a real beating in mustangs. 5th and reverse not so bad, since you dont go into those gears nearly as often, and rarely shifted hard into.

    My road to hopfully passing Emissions

    Get the tank almost empty, and put the lowest octane gas you can in it. Around here its 87. Just drive around part throttle and dont put much load on it if your worried about detonation. Lower octane gas burns more efficiently. That should help, some. But if you find a surefire way to make it...

    Tranny/Clutch Problem, PLEASE HELP!

    No, it wont be fine. The last thing you want to do is set a 400+lb motor on its oilpan on a floorjack, no less. If you have headers(which it seems you do) instead of working on your back putting in a tranny by yourself, it might be actually easier to pull both the motor and tranny out of the...

    99 GT, Engine out, long tubes on, Install?

    I just removed my engine/transmission as one piece with the longtubes on, and installed it the same way. I dont know what headers you have, but if you have the BBK longtubes, youll need to install the transmission before the pass side header. Do this with the engine out of the car to make it...

    Texas Emissions Laws

    emissions laws vary from county to county. If your car is registered in an emissions county, then you cannot just go get it inspected in a NON emissions county-assuming you have your registration sticker on it(emissions registration has a small black bar to signify its from an emissions...

    New idea for the front plate on mustangs

    Yeah-it might be just a slight problem if the wind pulls it off at speed. A thin, sharp metal frisbee traveling at 70mph flies through a nearby motorists windsheild decapitating them, and causing an accident killing all 8 of their children who were passengers. LOL

    Had My 1st Dyno Test Done Today... (Warning--Just Stock Numbers!)

    i cant see what he means by its harder on the dyno?? the dyno is just a couple 3500lb drums on an axle, that freely spin-while a sensor detects their speed/acceleration. unless of course he means its harder on the dyno's brakes-since the drums are spinning faster... but hell, those things...

    40 series flows or SUPER 40's

    ive got the whole catback with Super 40's i get TONS of compliments on the sound. Sounds wicked and clean under WOT especially. Had a guy in a SS ask me if i had the bassani exhaust, when i told him flows, he said "WHAAAAT!" "That car sounds badass!"
