    Need an opinion/diagnosis. Eng./Tran./Clutch issue

    Basically, the car has a noticeable vibration in neutral (5 sp. manual). And no, it's not the normal vibration from the V8. But, when you push in the clutch and put it in 1st gear and keep holding in the clutch, the vibration goes away. Also, the car stumbles/shakes pretty bad when trying to...

    *amazing update!* '88 5.0 5-speed shifting problems

    The way mine was, you couldn't even get as far as grinding...You push in the clutch and try to shift any gear and the shifter wouldn't even hardly budge...lol Then it's shifting like butter now and I'm really really happy....lmao.

    *amazing update!* '88 5.0 5-speed shifting problems

    I created a thread over a week ago about this, how I floored it in 3rd to redline and then I couldn't hardly shift any gears after that. lol...you're not gonna believe what happened today. :D So I've been sick all week and plus bummed out about the Stang. So today, I'm feelin' a little...

    Need diagnosis for sudden 5 sp. man. trans. problem

    lol you talk about takin' out the tranny like it's an everyday thing! I wish it was that easy for me but I would have to take it to a mechanic to get anything like that done.... :( But you know, my fifth gear has always been a little funny. Like before this happened, when shifting from 4th to...

    Need diagnosis for sudden 5 sp. man. trans. problem

    How much do you think it would cost to get the clutch adjusted? Hopefully maybe that's all it is.

    Need diagnosis for sudden 5 sp. man. trans. problem

    I really don't think it's that since this thing happened all of a sudden after that high-speed run. The clutch has seemed fine before. Then all of a sudden I can't shift for crap. I mean the new vibration at idle in neutral wouldn't explain a non engaging clutch would it? I was thinking more...

    Need diagnosis for sudden 5 sp. man. trans. problem

    I made another thread but I think I wasn't imformative enough...Basically, my car was running pretty good up until I was on the highway going about 70 mph...I dropped it into 3rd from 5th and floored it until redline..over 100 mph. I then took it out of gear and tried to put it in 5th from...

    Some mechanical and maintenence ?'s

    Well, it seems to shift pretty good when the car is OFF....So what does that mean? Shifts horribly with car on and not so bad with it off...Also, where the heck is the clutch fluid reservior?!?! Don't see it...

    Some mechanical and maintenence ?'s

    Now I'm also wondering if it could be a motor mount, or harmonic balancer?

    Some mechanical and maintenence ?'s

    When I start my car when it's cold, it idles nicely at about 750 rpms. I let it warm up 5 mins and start driving. As soon as I come to a stop, the idle is now at 1,000-1,100 rpms and any time I stop after that, that's where it idles. If I drive it hard then come to a stop, the idle surges...

    Legal to do a 4 cyl to 5.0 fox swap in CA?

    I seriously doubt it's legal. Just keep looking for a 5.0. I got mine about 6 months ago for only $2,000 with all the mods in my sig. Just gotta get lucky. Oh and I passed smog with all these mods in California. Just gotta make sure it's tuned up good.

    What octane

    I've heard that on high-mileage cars, the compression ratio can actually increase a little bit because of the carbon build-up. Is this true? I have a moderately modified '88 5.0 with 157,000 miles and I just take the middle road and go with Chevron 89 octane. Timing is at 11 degrees. Is this...

    Gears and top speeds...

    Hi, firstly, thanks for taking the time to lay all of this out. I do realise that a lot of people's speedo's are off a little...maybe even a lot. I just wanted a general idea of the speeds I'm reaching at the end of the gears just for kicks really. I like information like that, and...
