    Planning on converting my automatic 1994 Mustang gt to a manual transmission

    I did the swap about this time last year so Ill give you a rundown of the stuff off the top of my head. T5 (94 / 95 spec or youll have to either replace the input shaft or get the 87 - 93 bellhousing and a driveshaft spacer. The pre 94 t5s have a short input shaft and are rated for slightly...

    Passing an Emissions test

    The check engine light is functioning as it should. It stays on when the keys in accessory with engine off. So long as there are no problems, it shuts off with the engine running. So dont look too far into that. The running rich... did you have your vehicle tuned by any chance after you did the...

    Need some advice on a motor build please

    And in terms of boring and stroking, for the 302, the most common apps would be a 331 or 347. For the 351, the most popular is the 408, though you can go up to a 427 which is bad ass, and going 393 is also another popular stroke. THese are just the most common, there's a lot of other ways to get...

    Need some advice on a motor build please

    Welcome to the forums. I see you were tempted by the ultra low price of the procomps. They are really hit or miss, some people say theyre great, other people have had nightmares. I think it ultimately depends on if you get the newer castings and if theyre preassembled or bare when you get them...

    Noise & Vibration out of T5 in low speed/high torque situations

    Another thing I ran into after doing the T5 swap in mine was the little inspection plate wasn't fully tightened and that gave me an awful little metal on metal noise that freaked me out the first time I heard it on the maiden voyage. Definitely had me a little worried seeing how over the winter...

    NEED ADVICE Traded for a 94GT.. need schooling

    Like has been stated, gears and a shift kit. Could run up to 4.10s in the auto and it wouldnt be bad really. As for the T5, the 94 and 95 variant of it was different in terms of having a longer input shaft, reverse was synchronized with a brass blocking ring and it was rated for slightly more...

    HELP! What would cause AODE to slip in 1st?

    Not necessarily screwed, but definitely not looking good. Is this something that has been getting progressively worst and now you're without any gears? Just as a preliminary check, double check your fluid level, check the shift cable. Keep in mind its an electronically controlled tranny, so the...

    How are the winter projects coming?

    Installed the ultra clear headlamp and corner lens', as well as the 8000K dual beam HID's. Thinking of going with a turbo setup so that may be on the agenda. Though it would be early summer as I have to get tail pipe emission tested in July and the turbo setup would no longer allow me to swap...

    Head light pics request

    Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up going with the ultra clear head and corner lens. As seen in the last pic posted, I like the way they look on black cars. I thought of using the Cobra style but in the end I decided to save the extra 50 bucks and put it toward my winter projects. In any...

    Dyno run Blahs

    The MLPS is a VERY common concern in the AODEs, for exactly the symptoms you're describing. A lot of people can bypass the symptoms by going down into second and then back up into drive when you decide to take off, as opposed to just pulling it down from park until it locks into drive. Also...

    You guys see this dumb crap?

    To my knowledge, Ford will bring this to regular gasoline engines down the road when they are equipped with direct injection. Starts are almost seamless since the computer will know exactly where each piston is and be able to fire the exact amount of fuel into the appropriate cylinders to get...

    Head light pics request

    I'm converting to dual beam HID lights over the winter and want new lens assemblies to go with it. Up in the air about which style to go with and I'm hoping some of you guys have better pics than the manufacturers put on their websites. I'm undecided between the Cobra style, ultra clears or the...

    1995 Mustang Gt new pcm wont start

    Hopefully he got the right computer from Napa (eh......) so that way when he does fix the problem, the computer isn't screwing him up.

    1995 Mustang Gt new pcm wont start

    No spark or injector pulsing would lead me to think the stator inside the distributor is bad. Those are it's primary functions.... but then you say if you charge it, it runs for a period of time... And be wary in the future of PCM replacement. They very rarely go bad under noirmal operating...

    ECM 41 and 91 again

    I would eliminate all possibilities of vacuum leaks before I went too crazy on other things. Try spraying brake clean around all vac hoses and suspect connections to see if the idle raises.

    How are the winter projects coming?

    Yeah I started this thread over a year ago, surprised it was found. But like you said, it IS that time of year again. I'm up in the air about what I'm going to do this winter. Definitely yanking the T5 again. Never had the time to replace the reverse idler gear last year like I wanted to before...

    need help getting the most power for the money I have

    Very much in agreement with the thought of going with gears. I swapped out my AODe for a T5 and put it in 3.73s over last winter in place of the factory 2.73s.... its like a whole new car. If your exhaust is stock, thats a good place to start. If you dont get emissions tested, swap out the...

    HELP! What would cause AODE to slip in 1st?

    Theres a known issue with the AODEs and slipping in first gear. Theres a TSB on it, I'd do a search on the web. If it is that problem, I believe the issue was a failed seal on an accumulator piston inside the tranny, if I remember correctly. Relatively easy to replace if you know how to take off...
