    Aftermarket Shifter Noise

    Hey Doc, I would complain directly to Ford about your experience. If they can't get you a OEM part, then they should help you get a different, aftermarket one. You have an '04 that is still fairly new, shouldn't have to put up with anything. If they asked me if it was driveable, I would have...

    Best Mail Order Tunes

    Well, Horsepower by Hermann was one of my options, but if he is leaving town I may decide against that. I believe there are a number of tuners in the DC metro area. Kaufman's in PA is a few hour drive. I've been thinking Modular Depot as my first choice though, I've seen tons of positive...

    Best Mail Order Tunes

    Is Horsepower by Hermann mail order? I live in Maryland about a half hour south of Annapolis and have heard of him, but not much.

    Want to hear everyone's thoughts on mail order tunes. I've read very good things about Modular Depot and now recently Modular Powerhouse. Please post your experiences/recommendations....Thanks.

    IAC Restrictor Woes

    Did you buy it from the guy who was selling them or did you make it yourself? Maybe making the restrictor hole slightly larger would help things out...

    Aftermarket Shifter Noise

    Try to get the cost of the part from Ford. Making you deal with that under warranty is BS. Then you got the money for an upgrade!

    Aftermarket Shifter Noise

    I noticed some more noise from the MGW as well. Luckily, the MGW is supposed to be quieter than most others.... Get some exhaust work done and you will barely hear it. I have Borlas Pro XS mufflers and a catted MRT H and I don't hear the tranny noise much.

    Transmission fluid on 5 speed and MGW shifter????

    Also, I changed to Royal Purple because there are claims out there regarding more hp. I figured synthetic in the motor, in the transmission, and in rear when gears are put in might add up to a few ponies. Everything helps.

    Transmission fluid on 5 speed and MGW shifter????

    I did my MGW and Royal Purple fluid the day after xmas. I only had 9K miles, but figured I'd change it out since I heard how easy it was filling through the shifter versus the fill hole. I got 4 quarts of royal purple synchromax on ebay for 38.xx shipped.

    Who would win? 2006 Mustang GT or 2004 Mustang GT?

    Who would win? 2006 Mustang GT or 2004 Mustang GT?

    Good exhaust setup, and gear is all you need in a 2v to take a 3v. 200+ lb. weight advantage helps even the field.

    New MGW Shifter

    I changed my fluid to Royal Purple and I was only at 9k miles yesterday when I changed the shifter. At 25k I would consider changing it. Doesn't add hardly anytime. Just need a run to the parts store.

    Strange AX gears

    Although I haven't checked, Ford Racing wasn't making the 3.90. Also, the idea of lightened gears sound good for the same price as FRPP.

    New MGW Shifter

    Depending on the mileage on your tranny fluid, think about changing it. Adds about 15 minutes to the job. I just did my MGW yesterday and added Royal Purple. Easy to drain, then just fill it once you get the old one off. Also, be patient with getting the old one off once the bolts are out...

    Strange AX gears

    Anyone install the 'AX' series of gears from Strange and have some feedback? I've had my eye on them for a while and they are now being offered by Summit. They were hard to find about 6 months ago for the Ford 8.8. They are lightened gears. I'm thinking of getting the 3.90. Thanks....

    Can you fill 3650 trans from shifter mount

    I think I've read you can. I got an MGW waiting for install and I planned on filling through the shifter as well.

    making my car quieter what to buy?

    I don't know about all of you, but I have a three year old that rides with me and another one on the way. OR pipe with flows was not going to work for me. At highway speeds, mine is only slightly louder than stock, which is perfect for me. But, when I get on it, everyone knows.....

    making my car quieter what to buy?

    Forgot to add, Borla Pro-XS is rated quite well as far as good HP while not being obnoxiously loud. Do a search for catback performance article.
