    Problems...

    exactly, but with one minor detail. the throwout bearing needs to be lubed. i always say, when it comes to lube, the more the merrier. the squeak is caused by lack of lubrication. thats the problem. in my experiance, SPEC clutches/products tend to squeak more than any other brand, no...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    i think youre problems are not with the suspension or spring choice, but with the shop choice. it is critical that alignments are done correctly. look for a good shop, or better yet, a good tech. yes, im very much in the "get c/c plates" club. i think its a good idea even on a stock...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    most 'reputable' or big name shops have Hunter alignment machines. the software that comes with them has the factory specs of all cars up to the current year that the software has been updated to. to my knowledge, i dont know of any common measurements that would work on all cars. each...

    Alignment Issues, Need Suggestions

    wow man, lots of issues going on here. i have some input. first of all, you went to the wrong shop. ive never heard of Les Swab or whatever, but it sounds like just another "National Tire and Battery" or generic shop. the reason they looked at you like you were crazy is b/c they dont...

    Timing

    i may be wrong, but i thought 10* was factory spec. i bumped mine to 14* and MAYBE saw 3-5 rwhp. not much on the butt-o-meter though, if anything

    when you say the "old numbers" were at 260/302, youre not comparing the stock factory numbers, are you?

    Is my clutch going out?

    i was asking if you had the coil on plug design with the new heads like the 99+ do. i guess the 96-98 had coil packs? do you have a pic of your engine bay? anyway, good goin with the new plugs. couldnt hurt anyway

    Is my clutch going out?

    i would think the MIL (CEL) would turn on if one of the cylinders misfired, especially if yo[ uhad the wire disconnected. turn the car to accessory mode and make sure the CEL lights up (that is, the bulb isnt burned out). as for the car not running too rough, its a V8, so there are 7 other...

    Is my clutch going out?

    maybe start there since they would need to be done soon anyway. plugs, wires, cap and rotor.

    16K on Dunlop Ap A2 's ??

    dunlop's arent exactly the best tire. i would call them the lower percentile. 16k aint too bad actually. longest ive seen on a set of tires (correct pressure, alignement, and rotation) was ~13k.

    help please....!?

    sounds like something mine did once when the vacuum line that goes to the IAC valve was disconnected by accident. there are a couple lines that could cause it actually. check the PCV line as well.

    Car problems just got worse (ignition issues)

    as SVTTECH said, the "clicking" is low battery voltage. just jump it to get the car going. drive it for ~10 min at mid RPMS to charge the battery. then turn it off and re start it again right away. if it starts, the alternator is good. if not chack the alternator. if it starts, let it sit...

    Is my clutch going out?

    i hate to say it cuz most people hate them, but the dealership is your friend. im sure theyve seen 30 stangs with the same problem and could diag it in under 30 min. just curious though, how old are your wires/plugs/cap/rotor?

    Is my clutch going out?

    i dont have the specs in front of me, but i would guess they would be the same. as for the misfire, the thing is, there isnt a MIL on. usually when a misfire occurs, especially as often as you describe, a code is set for "misfire cylinder X" or at least a "random misfire" code. Skidzz...

    Sold the stang...///m3

    true. BBS makes a nice set of wheels. i dont know if i'd go 19"s though. tire would be crazy expensive. BBs makes a lot of nice 18"s.

    Is my clutch going out?

    yup, sounds like a clutch. but try that test before you go out and buy a $400 clutch

    Is my clutch going out?

    did the engine continue to rev while the "flat spot" occured? if so, it may be a clutch. best way to tell is to drive up a steep hill at a low speed in 5th gear and go WOT. if the RPMs shoot up (like youre in nuetral) the clutch is slipping. honestly, from what you described, it sounds more...
