    Rear Axle Question

    The only way it can come out, is if you snap the axle itself which is typically done by launching on sticky tires. Once the axle snaps, the c-clip can do nothing to keep the axle in..........you never see an axle come out due to 'c-clip failure'; it just isn't possible to move the axle inward...

    engine pulled - tranny advice

    http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=FMS%2DM%2D7000%2DA&N=700+115&autoview=sku That should have everything you need unless you have a damaged gear or two. Hope that new stroker motor doesn't scatter it everywhere promptly after the rebuild :D

    Freeze out plug?

    Any possibility that the pipes/hoses that run under the upper plenum of the intake for you heater core are leaking, pooling, then running down the back of the motor?

    cam selection help

    Don't waste your time putting a cam in a stock motor. It won't help performance unless you AT LEAST have an intake, and preferably upgraded heads as well.

    miss my car, few random questions

    Keep a look out on the classifieds here, on corral, e-bay, etc. They are some of the cheaper used OEM wheels you can buy (can find some in the $200-$300 range WITH tires). Everyone shuns them for the 5-spoke type cobras for some reason. I've always loved the '96-'97 cobras with the painted...

    Freeze out plug?

    If you are leaking oil from the back of your engine, 99% of the time it's going to be your rear main seal on the crank.

    Yep, I thought I remembered torquing mine to about 15 ft/lbs.

    Good Deal or What? t5 swap?

    What's all included? Sounds like an awful lot of money to me, unless you are buying everything new.

    Guys with aluminum heads?

    I know there's a range for what the lower intake bolts are supposed to be torqued to (13-18 ft/lb. maybe?). If you're nervous, stay on the low end of the specified range. My edelbrocks had heli-coils in them (whatever you have might too), so it really wasn't an issue. You should recheck the...

    Rear Axle Question

    There's no reason to check them; it's physically impossible for them to work their way out of the axle tube without the center pin being removed as Mustang5L5 told you. If you're bored, and want to replace your diff. fluid anyway, and want to see how the axles are actually held in, go ahead...

    How to save gas in a 5.0

    I disagree with that statement (except for the fat chicks :D). Unless you are commuting at 75+ on the freeway often, 2.73's are going to be more detrimental to fuel mileage than say a 3.27-3.73 gear. To the OP, dump your codes, and do everything to make sure your car is in a good state of...

    Car will not shift into 2nd

    Are you sure you properly adjusted your tv cable upon reinstallation? This is critical, and you can quickly wreck an AOD by driving around with one that is not adjusted right.

    New Best ET = 1 broken fox.

    You should have a pretty easy time figuring out what you have to do once you get the rear diff cover off. The axles are held in with 'c-clips'; normally you have to push in on the end of the axle (with the diff's center pin removed) to expose the c-clip to pull it off to release the axle, but...

    Hood pins are your friend...

    Even with the factory latch, I think the fiberglass hoods can 'flex' enough to let the latch slip out.
