    Have you check for codes yet. Check for codes before you start throwing parts at it. That can get expensive. Codes first then check back

    t5 grinding..

    Dont use 2nd gear you will make it worse just like 795 said. Its grinding because the syncros are bad. The grinding noise is the slider going on the gear itself. Do not use second anymore or will cost u more money to get it fixed. Have tranny rebuilt

    That thread is very good. I build transmissions for a living but never built a motor. They say if you can build a tranny then you can build a motor. Have my motor pulled out. I am about to the same. Rebuild mine. Along with a bunch of other stuff. Thank you for this thread I will be using this

    Shifting problems

    The buzzing noise that u hear. Is it more like a bird chirp. Does it go away when you barely push on the pedal. If it does its the throw out bearing and or collar on trans. Its a common issue when the clutch is not adjusted properly. Check that if it does go away then pull trans out and replace...

    Clutch to hard

    Fix the crack in the firewall. When you step the clutch the cracked firewall moves to far not allowing the clutch to disengage. The 90's F-150 has the same problem but they have a fix for it. never seen one crack on a stang. So fix the crack first then go from there

    Shifting problems

    How does the pedal feel. Does it feel the same as usual. Does the pedal get harder to push the more you drive. Dont see it being the trans. The clutch fork likes to wear and break on those. Also the front collar on the trans like to wear out which would eat the throw out bearing.

    aod vs c4

    First of all its not the HP that kills a tranny its the torgue.All of people don't realize that. An AOD is a 4 speed and a C4 is a 3 speed. I know they are automatics but thats what I call them. You can have both trannys built strong. You can use AODE gear train in an AOD its stronger and geared...

    Clutch cable

    I ran into the same problem. My cable was coming apart at the firewall. The metal sleeve was coming out of the insulation.After I installed a new cable I just double nutted the cable and it was fine. But a firewall adjuster will work. Did not have the funds for an adjuster
