    96-2001 Clutches, My Understanding Of Them

    This is not question of a post, more like something I would like to share. Doing a Google search or even a search on the message boards of any Mustang related site brings up threads from owners that have clutch related issues, more specifically the "heavy pedal", or stiff pedal syndrome and...

    Anyone Running A Pypes O/r H From Am?? Fitment Question.

    Yea, I was a little frustrated last night. I basically worked 12 hours and really had no business working on my car. I had today off though so I had plenty of time to tinker with it. Fitment was OK except the passenger side wanted to rub on the sub frame but I managed to get it off a hair. I...

    Anyone Running A Pypes O/r H From Am?? Fitment Question.

    Had to remove my old o/r H to do a clutch in my 2000 which was a POS Summit brand. I decided to get a better one and bought the Pypes o/r H from AM. Had some extra time this afternoon so I decided to install it so I can get the car back on the road as I will need it next week. Of course nothing...

    Supercharged Gt Totaled... Now What?

    Actually, my pops went through this. His car was hit in the rear at 25mph and although it just needed a new bumper cover and such due to the age Allstate totaled it and gave him a check. He was mad because he liked the car and it was plenty drive able he wanted to keep it. They let him have the...

    Funny Story About Advanced Auto Parts

    After I got my money back and got home I went about my business around the house and cooled off. I'm generally a calm and collective person and most of the time with stuff like this I will just let it go as long as I didn't loose money or a part on my dime but this time I decided to call the...

    Funny Story About Advanced Auto Parts

    Have not visited the boards in some time so I thought I would share something that happened to me over this past weekend. The clutch in my 00' GT has been getting hard to push in and since I had not been driving it much over the past 6 months so I let it go until I got a new job that requires...

    That Awsome Mustang Sound.

    I never get sick of hearing mine. Flowmasters and off-road H. Especially, with the top down. IMO it's the off-road X pipes that cause the noise issue with the chambered mufflers. I had an off road X and flows on my 96' GT as my first combo. figured I would try something new since I had flows...

    03 Gt Woes

    Codes? Check for them even if no SES light is on. I would replace the plugs First and test. Then start looking at the cops.

    96 Convertible Top Replacement

    I've owned two GT convertibles. Did the top on my 96' and had no trouble paying a pro to do it on my 2000. It's not hard, just takes fiddling like said above. Think I paid 800 for them to replace it on my 2000 and came with a 5 year warranty. If you do decide to do it yourself, buy the top and...

    How Much Would You Pay? Thinking Of Selling My Car.

    Where are u located? Around here in Jax Fla. it's easy to find Mustangs but very hard to find on in good condition with low miles. In the 6k range for your car 6k would be steal. I finials had to go out of town a bit to find one and I paid 6900 for a bone stock GT that had one owner and my...

    3v Swap

    Muscle Mustangs and FF did it and had a small write up on it. I'm nowhere near needing a new engine in my car but this is also my plan when the time comes. I think it would be easier to use the cars 2v computer and lock out the cam phasers on the engine. You will need a drive by wire kit or a...

    01 Gt Still Won't Start

    Yep, the PCM will have to be programmed but there are other shops, not just the dealer that can do it.

    96 Mustang Gt Speedometer

    Yea the water pump on the 4.6l is about as easy as it gets to change. I used the LMR gear set for the odo in my old 96' and it did the job well. I think anyone with a 95 to 98 mustang has had to replace those little gears.

    2000gt Motor Locked Up

    Yes they are dirt cheap. I picked up a 65k PI motor of 2004 vintage that was originally in a CV. for my old 96' GT and paid 800.00 which was a little more then some of the other yards but this particular salvage yard is a Ford only yard that generally gets the best cars in town and they record...

    2000gt Motor Locked Up

    LOL, every time you talk about this I feel more inclined to go ahead and update everything behind the timing chain over on my 2000. Just out of curiosity, at what mileage did yours fail? To the OP, burns is right, I would bet there to be a issue with the oil pump screen or at the very...
