    More transmission problems

    Hey all, as some of you may remember I've been having problems with my tranny grinding into 3rd gear at WOT. That problem has steadily been getting worse, but now its doing something else that seems odd. When I'm on the highway in 5th gear cruising at 70mph or anywhere around there, I hear a...

    Transmission question

    Well I just tried that and it seems to catch about 3" from the floor, maybe a bit less. How do I go about adjusting it?

    Transmission question

    Hey guys, pretty soon I'll be taking my car into the dealer to have them do something with the tranny. It grinds into 3rd pretty badly, but only under hard acceleration. I'm wondering if the dealer will even warranty this problem, seeing as it only happens when you rev the piss out of it and...

    steering wheel shimmy.

    I have the stock sized tires, so I doubt if anything is messing with the ABS system. Hopefully cutting the rotors and getting new pads will solve the problem. Thanks for the advice guys!

    steering wheel shimmy.

    Hey guys, recently I've been noticing a steering wheel shimmy under braking. The wheel moves side to side about an inch each way at a pretty fast rate. I've been told it could be that I need front brakes, which is entirely possible at 35k miles on original brakes. When you let off the brakes...

    Anyone headed to Englishtown tomarrow?

    I'll be going down there with my Stang, along with my friend and his 350Z. I'm sure there will be plenty of Mustangs there, but would be cool to meet a few of you from the forum.

    Thoughts on UPR X pipe?

    Now I'm starting to wish I saved some of my money and went with the UPR over the Bassani. Oh well...

    Somewhat unusual exhaust question

    Hey guys, I found a really good deal on a Bassani O/R X pipe and was wondering if there's enough room inside to fit it inside the car so I can get it home. It looks a little big to me, seeing as my truck space is limited because of the Mach 1000 stereo. what do ya think?

    My car vs 04 GTO?

    Well I'll give it a shot anyways. I am thinking about getting a Mac O/R H pipe anyway, so maybe that will help me out a bit. Thanks for the advice guys! BTW- I've never seen an 03-04 Cobra going for less than an 04 or even 05 GTO. I was told that the guy that wants to race me paid $20k...

    My car vs 04 GTO?

    What are these cars supposed to run in the 1/4 stock? I've heard mid-high 13's, but I imagine that LS1 is pretty strong from a roll, which is what he seems to be favoring.

    My car vs 04 GTO?

    Hey guys, a friend of a friend has an 04 GTO 6 spd. I thought the car was all stock but I found out it has a K&N CAI. He's been saying we should race sometime but I'm not sure how well I'd do against it. I know he's a good driver, so it may not go well for me but who knows. What are your...

    Need a part number

    Hey guys, I need the part number for a tailshaft seal for an 03 Mustang GT 5 spd. I ordered one but when it came I found out it was for a T45, not my trans. Thanks in advance!

    Any Bad Shifters out there

    I've never heard anyone say they were disappointed with any aftermarket short throw shifter they bought. That being said, I'm very satisfied with my Pro 5.0.

    2-3 shift grinds

    Yeah now that I think about it, my 3rd gear whines quite a bit if you lug it at a low rpm. So you think it may be synchros? How difficult is it to put new ones in?

    2-3 shift grinds

    Hey guys, I will admit I drive my car a bit too hard sometimes and now its starting to show. When I shift from 2nd to 3rd at high rpm, it grinds a bit. Not nearly as bad as my friend's 98 Cobra does, but its noticeable. What are some things I could try to help it? The car is still under...

    Tailshaft seal replacement

    Thanks for the tips guys. I'll most likely be doing this job while the car is on a lift, so hopefully that'll make things easier.

    Tailshaft seal replacement

    Hey guys, my car is leaking trans fluid at the tailshaft, I assume just the seal needs to be replaced. How much difficulty is involved in doing this? thanks!

    More Detonation problems

    So I bought my BBK Upper plenum and installed it today. Car started right up afterwards, no problems. I drove it around, definetly noticed an increase in power, but it seems to ping pretty badly now. 4th gear around 1500rpm going up a hill makes it ping VERY badly. And if I'm in 2nd gear...
