    Do GTs have different spings/shocks?

    I'm pretty sure only ricers put spings on their cars....though I hear they add as much horsepower as 5 stickers. Pretty impressive...but i'll avoid pass on spings. Not for me. hehe

    Clunking noise under the car..Bad?

    I had a similar problem.....turned out one of my sway bar bushings was gone...reason for missing bushing was that my power steering pump was broke and leaking PS fluid slowly onto the bushing and the bushing corroded off....made a little hollow "clunk" sound whenever there was a jolt or...

    Clutch weirdness

    Ok....another problem I noticed today. When I press the clutch to change from 1st to 2nd gear when the pedal gets to the floor it feels like theres a "pop" in the clutch or tranny...it's not a sound but a feeling...like a jolt....but it ONLY does it between 1st and 2nd gear....all the others...

    Electrical Gremlin

    Blower question

    Anyone have any first hand experience on supercharging a car that has a stock short block w/ 150K plus?.......the motor still runs GREAT (oil pressure good, etc)....i'm going to build up the rest of the motor over the next year and hopefully put a blower on it some time in 2005...however, I am...

    AOD to T5 swap

    eh....i feel stupid.....i coulda sworn your original post said Mustang PARTS specialties...oh well....it said Mustang Specialties which is more than likely a separate location.... as for my swap....i let my local performance shop do it....the tranny was about 1600 bucks (refurbished World...

    AOD to T5 swap

    i swapped out and couldn't be happier......as for Mustang Parts Specialties (MPS), I've been to there location several times (Winder, GA) as I live not too far from them. They're a good place with TONS of junk cars to pull parts from as well as a fairly well organized storage wearhouse...

    Need help quick

    Thanks guys....I went ahead and swapped out the motor. (Autozone and Advance both required it to be a "special order" so I went to a rinky dink mom and pop shop and they had it)...anyway..so i managed to do this whole thing IN the dark...pretty rewarding I might add...the harderst part was that...

    Need help quick

    i was looking at my haynes manual.....looks like an easy fix on the motor....anything ya'll think I need to watch out for...like one of those pesky parts that always breaks when you least need it to while doing a repair on something else....I don't have time to do this all night.......I have...

    Hatchback Dome Light Question

    Does your hatch latch still have the nylon bushing that sits around the striker?....If not that's probably what's making it loose. You can get a striker bushing kit (4 bushings) for about $3 bucks at the local parts store...(i just did this so I know for sure)...the striker requires a torx...

    Need help quick

    Ok..so it's miserably wet here in Rome, GA and has been for several days, I'm broke, and to make matters worse I have developed this weird intermittent windsheild wiper problem. I can't exactly drive when they don't work so here's the scoop: Wipers work intermittently. Normal mode and...

    Which mod? GT-40 Heads or T5 Swap?

    I just finished my t-5 swap on my 91 LX...$2800 installed w/ a refurbished tremec w/ 1 year warranty. It completely changed the performance of my car. I can get up in the right RPM range and my car hauls now compared to the AOD. I didn't want an AOD but that black interior was just too hard...

    Not DRIVETRAIN related, but tech enough for me.

    Ok....I've recently encountered one of the many woes of owning a Stang and need suggestions of fixing it. Ya'll know the little thingy the hatch latch catches on down by the hatch light. Well the little rubber ring around it that keeps it kinda thick corroded off..and now my trunk rattles and...

    Which exhaust tips with Cobra bumper?

    Ok. here's the scoop on the blasted tailpipes (seems to be some confusion). LX style pipes require LONGER hangers for the tail pipes if you have a Cobra rear. The Cobra bumpercover sets a inch or two too low but w/ long (not stock) hangers you should be fine. Also, it's not too hard to line...

    Anyone driven a T-5 stang w/ 4.10 gears?

    Ok.. I"m just wondering...cuz I'm thinking about 4.10's instead of 3.73's. Not really concerned with gas mileage as I hardly drive the highway. It'll be a long while before my car gets more than 300hp cranking..so I want the most bang for the buck for now. Any thoughts? Lemme know.

    AOD Trans problems...

    The FIRST time my AOD (stock) decided to destroy itself to my disgust, I experienced a similar problem. It had been rebuilt just before I bought it, and about two weeks later, I was on a hill and it was rolling backwards while in drive. Yeah, scared the crap outta me. So anyway, I didn't...

    wishful thinking or real problem?

    Ok... as some of you know, I'm in the midst of a AOD to T-5 swap. Well, while I'm thinking about it, I need some opinions. First off, because my AOD blew up (again) and I"m getting the new tranny, I"M BROKE, so I'm hoping what I'm about to ask is a possiblilty. Over the past few years, I've...
