    aod-T5 electrical help (won't start)

    Thanks Nick, I'll try jumping it tomorrow. The chilton shows the t5 harness, I should be able to loop vack tow wires and put lugs on the two that hook to the terminals that are on the case. vann

    aod-T5 electrical help (won't start)

    Hey guys, The mechanical part of the swap is done and now it won't start. I've read enough to expect this but not sure how to solve it. I have the t5 harness that mates to the two terminals on the case on order but not here yet. When I did the pedal swap I didn't remove any of the jumpers...

    Throw-out Bearing in Fork

    Hey guys, AOD to T5 swap in process. Anybody have a clear picture of the throw-out bearing installed in the clutch fork? I think I have it in correct but would like a little photo verification. My Chilton book drawing isn't clear and the swap article doesn't have a picture. Thanks, vann

    No headlights/signals after pedal swap

    Thanks guys, it's a 1991, going from aod to t5 this weekend! I guess i'll drop the column for the 3rd time in a week or two and go looking again. I did verify the connection to the signal assy.

    No headlights/signals after pedal swap

    After swapping the brake pedal for the brake/clutch assy neither the turn signals or headlight work. The headlights will come on "bright" by pushing the signal level to the forward position. I've checked all fuses and dropped the steering column back down to verify connections are good. The only...

    Clutch pedal install

    Do a search on Google. You'll get the fordmuscle and several other complete swap instructions. One has a step by step checkoff sheet. I'm doing mine in Jan. The clutch cable goes thru the current speedo hole, the speedo cable gets moved over to an existing hole/grommet in the firewall. Don't...

    Selecting Clutch and Cable

    Thanks to all for the great advice! I'm leaning towards a t5 from d/d performance. A local salvage yard quoted $85 for a pedal assy from a 93. They pull it and sell it at the counter, good enough deal for me. I just know my thumpers and tmoss lower will be more fun without the aod! :D vann

    Selecting Clutch and Cable

    Thanks 89/Crash/Hissin I appreciate all feedback, especially if I'm incorrect on a part selection. I have zero experience on 5.0's with 5-speeds (except 3 years of forum readings). Last manual I drove was in a duece ana/half in Korea (1984)! Does anybody have any ideas other than j-yard for a...

    Selecting Clutch and Cable

    Thanks Kevin (nice cars on your page, mines white hatch) I/ve seen the fork/cable on the DPM site but was worried about the "self-adjusting" feature. I thought (guessed) that non-adj. was the way to go. Would that cable work with a steeda firewall adjuster and single hook quad? vann

    Selecting Clutch and Cable

    Hey Guys, I'm beginning to collect parts for an aod-t5 swap this winter. Steeda has the tri-ax for 161.00, most of what i've read imply this is a good quality shifter, opinions? Also they have the 2-hook quadrant, firewall adjuster and clutch cable for $99. Question is do I want the...

    Help Reading Plugs

    Hey Guys, I replaced the Autolite 25's yesterday (with same) after 10,000 miles. Plug insulators are bright white, electrode is very clean and flat (not rounded), full circle, but the back side of the ground strap (away from the electrode ) is also white. Using the plug guide in Turner's...

    thumper heads

    I run them with a Tmoss lower, 1.7's and stock cam and love them (AOD w/170k miles so no times). Don't know what you'll run, others will speculate. Do a search, RIO5.0 has numbers posted and maybe times. Mike (Thumper) is a real good bloke. You will however run into two Very Emotional point of...

    amp suggestions

    Look on www.ikesound.com just be forewarned, all products are new, but they are not an authorized dealer for some lines. Which means you don't get the factory warrenty, just ikesound warrenty. Never stopped me from buying from them .

    Door Hinge Pin Movement

    Hey Guys, I did the pin/bushing replacement several months ago and everything was fine. Now I've noticed that the pin/bushing rotates with the door meaning it's wearing the hinge and not just the bushings. Is there anything to fix it shy of replacing them again, you know, like bashing the dam...
