    car started running hot after......

    I aree that the overflow bottle is a likely problem to this complaint. When the coolant gets hot it expands and coolant flows into the overflow bottle. Then when it cools it contracts and coolant is drawn back in from the coolant bottle throught the vacumm valve in the cap. in your case since...

    Is the noise present while the vehicle is stopped idling in neutral with the clutch engaged and throttle at 2000rpms? It is odd that the noise is gone in fifth as well. Drive it to speed and see if the noise is present in fourth and fifth. This is important to know to determine the root cause..

    Vibration after Tremec TKO install

    I just wanted to update you guys. I called the shop that balanced my driveshaft and they said to bring it back and they would recheck it. I did and it was out. So they rebalanced it at no cost. The shop apologized and said may be their machine was acting up that day?? Anway, after putting the...

    question about 93 5.0, 5spd with upgraded gears

    Your speedo may be off 10mph at 70 mph. And at 10 mph your speedometer may be off 2 mph. Remember, the difference of speed is actually a percentage. So your speedometer will read an actual percentage of increase. For example if your car initially had 3.08 gears and you went to 3.73 gears. That...

    Vibration after Tremec TKO install

    I have some buddies that have driveshafts but they don't are not the 31 spline yoke. It does seems like it is the shaft. I can try rotating to the next holes tonight. However, I am a little leary that this will help but I will try it anyway. Here is a brief history of the driveshaft. I...

    Vibration after Tremec TKO install

    I thought that too. But the driveshaft was balanced by a reputable shop that specializes in driveshafts and they have been in business for 30 years. I was thinking it could possibly be incorrect pinion angle?

    Best drag radials on pony wheels???

    So the 255/50/16 on pony wheels will work fine. It sounds like you guys are saying the Nittos are best for longevity and rain and the BFGs and the MT are best at the track and not so good for longevity. I guess it is narrowed down to BFGs or the MT. What style MT are best? ET Street, or the ET...

    Best drag radials on pony wheels???

    BFGs and Mickey Thompsons only come in 255/50/16. Nitto comes in 245/50/16. I already have 245/50/16 on the rear right now. I am not sure if the 255/50/16 will rub?

    Tremec TKO install issue ?? pics

    I just got my new Tremec TKO bolted up. The problem is the top of the transmission almost contacts the tunnel. There is maybe a 1/16 of an inch clearance. This seems like it is too close? :shrug: See pic https://home.comcast.net/~perkin50/trans1.JPG I installed new urethane crossmember...

    Tremec TKO using stock shifter???

    Thanks for the replies Markus. That makes sense. I hear the best shifter for the Tremec is the Pro 5.0. I will look into one.

    Tremec TKO using stock shifter???

    Thanks for the clarification Markus. So you are saying the stops are internal and not on the shifter. I see, since the transmission does have internal stops what are the advantages of an aftermarket shifter?
