    stuck!

    I can try to get some pics when I get home from work. Basically, I stuck a sheet over the top of the back seats in between the back plastic headrest looking piece and where the seat locks into place where the trunk is. If you look at the backseat, there are latches that you can pull that...

    stuck!

    I put some tires in my backseat to have them put on a couple weeks ago. I covered the seats with a blanket and I made it stay in place by lowering the back seats and then sticking the sheet above them and into the trunk. Now I can't get them out one one side :stupid: . It looks like the...

    Hose problem - Oil Leaking out

    Ah ok, I did some research online and found people were using transmission cooler lines since they're thick + resistant to heat/oil. I don't want to take the risk so I guess I'll swing by Ford when I get a chance...Thanks for the help

    Hose problem - Oil Leaking out

    One more question: Is there nowhere online that I can simply purchase a pcv hose? I don't care if I have to cut it myself...I can't seem to find anything but PCV valves for our cars...I remember the original was an 'S' shape, but I doubt that would make much of a difference

    Hose problem - Oil Leaking out

    Sweet, thanks for the help! I replaced the warped hose w/ a newer heater hose. I fastened some hose clamps in hopes that it'll fix it for now. I guess I'll head to the dealership and buy a new hose...The plastic elbow looks fine so it sould be a pretty cheap piece.

    Hose problem - Oil Leaking out

    About 3 months ago one of the hoses which comes out of the valve cover (left side when looking at engine bay, goes from cover to plenum) ruptured. I went to autozone and they gave me a free hose to replace that one. Yesterday, something started to smell from the engine bay, sort of like...

    Caster Camber plate noise

    Thanks for the replies. They are "shark" cc plates, I can't remember for sure who makes them but they weren't the most expensive and I knew a few stangs that had installed them w/ no issues. I'm thinking it might be a spacer issue as well, though I'm not sure. The struts are stock, btw. It...

    Caster Camber plate noise

    I had CC plates installed a few weeks ago, they did a horrible job, I had to get my money back and take it somewhere else (posted thread and pics about this). The second shop did a great job but I'm starting to notice a knocking sound from the passenger side plate. I know the sounds my car...

    Caster Camber plate install (PICS)

    Well I went back there this morning, told them it was unacceptable and that I didn't quite understand how a mechanic could've done something like this. The guy tried to tell me that I took that risk when I gave them an after market part, which is crap, and then said that the scratches around...

    Caster Camber plate install (PICS)

    Yeah that's what I figured...I should've looked at it while I was there but I trusted the guy...I called them and told them that it needed to be fixed asap and I'm gonna try to get my money back.

    Caster Camber plate install (PICS)

    I didn't have the tools to install these correctly so I took them to Goodyear where my alignment was still under warranty. I picked it back up earlier and drove it for less than a mile when I started to hear thumping sounds under the hood. I went back to Goodyear, the mechanic added spacers...

    Vibration problem

    I have no idea about the type of balancing they used.

    Vibration problem

    Yup, same tires since I got the rims...they were 245's before then I switched to 255/275 bfgoodrich g-force sport I believe. I still have my old tires/rims...I guess I could try to switch the tires out and see if it makes a difference

    Vibration problem

    A year ago I got new rims/tires. Had them installed, balanced and had the car re-aligned at SEARS (worked there so got a discount...) Anyways, they balanced it 3 times because I brought it in to have it re-done since I was getting the old steering wheel shake/vibrations. It still wasn't...

    Clutch squeak?

    I dunno, I thought throw out bearing was when the car was on? I really can't hear anything with the car on whether the clutch is in or out. It only squeaks when the clutch is being pressed-in at about the half-way point. It kinda does on it's way back out, but it's not very noticeable.

    Clutch squeak?

    This morning I got into my car and I was picking out a CD to listen to...I had the door open, engine off, and I put my foot down on the clutch, just as a reflex I guess since that's what I do anytime I get in to drive. Anyways, I heard a rather funny sound, like a squeak coming from outside. I...

    transmission question

    Well, I don't think it's damage after doing a more specific search. Seems like the Tri ax is rather noisy in 5th gear for most people (makes a "whirring" noise or very soft rubbing, kind of like a jet plane off in the distance). As for the leak, I bought what I thought was going to be an...

    Finally installed BBK L/T's, have some questions though

    You know what, mine kind of does the same thing. I thought for the longest time that it was a leak of some sort but each time I run sea foam I can't see any smoke coming out of anywhere but the tail pipes

    transmission question

    What about the 5th gear noise? it's not extremely loud but the other gears don't do it...I know the 3650 isn't the quietest...Also, I used castrol ATF, shifts are much smoother, but could that be why it's noisier in 5th?

    transmission question

    Yeah, I did a google search and found something about teflon tape. Is there a specific automotive type?
