    I see what you are talking about in the pic...I did NOT notice that when I took the shot...Hopefully its just a weird glare?? The car runs damn good to have a cracked manifold...let me run outside and check that.

    Adjustable or Non Adjustable UCA's?

    From what I am understanding now, adjustable UCAs may not be worth the green. I just want my car to handle great, for now. At some point I will morethan likely add boost. Thanks for the help

    Adjustable or Non Adjustable UCA's?

    I am holding off replacing my U joints because I assume they are worn due to my car being dropped nearly 2 inches. Do you all think getting the adjustable UCAs is the only smart move? After looking at bids on ebay I am confused what brand to get. I found some Lakwood adjustables that fit from...

    Fluid Pump

    So I was using the typical bulb and hose type pump today to attempt to refill my tranny. The F ing thing SUCKS. It does not work. I am sure some of you all have already experienced this. Sooo I came up with idea to cut small slit in my rubber trans boot(under the shifter), run fill hose up...

    DAAAAAAAAAMN!! That F ing blows....I have my stang all ready for a complete tune-up and fluid change...but this freaking scares the snot outta me. How often does this happen? A really assinine issue to worry about. God I love V8 Stangs, but Ford drops the ball waay to often

    Transmission Fluid Change schedule?

    So it takes 3.2 quarts, huh....How the F can that be exacted..? I am assuming when you all say fill until it flows out the fill hole, the car is on ramps or evenly jacked up.?

    How much does yours move?

    From what little I do know...I would not think the clutch would cause these symptoms either. Ok so while attempting the ujoint replacement, I had the pass. side in the air. I decided to do the tire rotation while looking at the ds for rotation trick, well there is DEFINITLY something not right...

    How much does yours move?

    I am pullin the d.s. tomorrow and replace u joint. Why did Advanced tell me they dont sell the front joint, only the back?? Are they the same or is this another reason not to return to AAP...? Gonna replace trans fluids (Mobil 1) and put on a poly trans mount while I'm down there. Anything else...

    convertible top rattle

    I agree, my vert is not quiet, even with all the suspension upgrades. Not that I have done it, but the latches actually have an adjustment to make the top close more solid (make sense?) If you look good at the inside of the latches you will see... Mine is rattling some from the molding above...

    Best place to buy a U Joint??

    I am gonna replace my U Joints. Should I get them from Ford or would a Napa or Autozone joint be equal in quality? I have searched, cant find any answers...

    How much does yours move?

    The rear is what I fear!! I have no idea what the hell goes on in there. I am very mechanically inclined, how difficult is messing with the end? What does a typical rearend rebuild cost?

    How much does yours move?

    I am not in tech school, but I dont think it is normal. I have aftermarket gears, which is reason for backlash. Unless a tranny can get worn and create some slop...I am leaning towards those U Joints. Is this an easy fix? I bet those bolts are a mofo to break loose.

    How much does yours move?

    Thanks for the response. I normally do set ebrake, was waxing front bumper when I noticed this movement. I have been meaning to re-examine u joints. It is hard to tell if they are bad from how I know to check them... If your reading this go and give your car a few shoves front to back, any...

    How much does yours move?

    I know this is a strange topic, but I think this may be connected to the notorious "clunk" that alot of us experience. When I do this I can hear a clank from around the tranny, followed by a quieter clank towards the rear. I will look into the spider gear theory. Thanks for the help!
