    stater flywheel issues!

    Believe it or not but has they sell starter shims for fords. They serve the same purpose as for those other cars (cant say that bad C word) lol. I didnt believe it when I heard about it untill I saw it myself. The starter bolts do come loose alot. The bolt size is 3/8. They are standard size bolts.

    stater flywheel issues!

    Is there a backing plate there. Its in between the motor and trans. Also make sure the bolts are tight and not stripped out. If all the above is good than get a starter shim.

    so my clutch isn't engaging all the way

    Disconnect the cable from the trans then do it. Have someone hold the end of the cable while you pull up on the pedal. If that does not work than put a clutch in it.

    temperature gauge not working

    Easy way to check the guage and wire is to disconnect the wire from the sending unit and ground it. The guage should peg out. If it doesnt than its either electrical or the guage is bad

    so my clutch isn't engaging all the way

    Is it a stock cable or is it an adjustable cable. If its adjustable then adjust it. If its not then pull up on the pedal for the self adjuster to do its job.

    84 tranny in an 88 car?

    Ask him if the input shaft splines are fine or coarse. If they are fine splines the trans is out of a 4 cyl mustang. If they are coarse splines then its a V8 trans.

    2nd gear grinding only when warm?

    He pt gear oil in to hide a problem. The syncros and or the gear and or the slider could be bad. Fix it now before you cause more damage. Amsoil works real well in the T5. No gear oil. The royal purple ATF is regular ATF with purple dye in it. Its nothing special. Trust me I know this
