    Reverse Grinding

    I'm not sure if it's a synchrod gear or not either...I know the new on at the dealer was pretty expensive and my trans shop put it in for me. My other one had excessive wear on the edges...didn't look too bad, but they said it was enough to give me problems because almost all of the teeth had it.

    Clutch ?

    I've used Spec Stage 1 and just OEM replacments from auto parts stores. Both seemed to grab pretty damn hard. Easy install, easy pedal feel. King Cobras I haven't ever used, but people on the forums love them.

    Grinds Into Gear On Hard Shifting

    You have a synchro problem. Grinding gears is all about the synchros. Fluid won't fix your problem.

    Reverse Grinding

    My 96 Cobra used to do that all the time. If I rolled up an inch in 1st gear then switched to reverse it was fine....or if I stuck it in 5th, then went to reverse it would be fine. Your reverse synchro is going bad tho. I eventually replaced mine because it got to the point where it...

    Might sell the '86 for an '04 Cobra

    I got a text yesterday from a friend and a text today from another both asking me if I put insurance on the car. They each have cars and they wanna go rip up our local cruis spot tonight. I'm thinking about it. The weather is chilly so the blower will love that. Yesterday it hit 80*...

    T 5 Fluid

    I wouldn't waste money on new style fluid for old technology. I had to buy V for my 06 Explorer when a trans line took a dump and it was $84.99 a case. I luckly got to return 4 quarts, but man what a rip off.

    Might sell the '86 for an '04 Cobra

    I have owned just about everything. 5.0 Foxes, I built two Mod Fox's, I've had plenty of 95 GT's, had a Procharged 5.0L, a 2000 GT, 96-97 Cobras and I now have a Whippled 04 Cobra. I don't know. It's a tough decision. Do you want to spend the 20-25K? Then you get the car and it's perfect and...

    Rear 5 lug swap complete

    I think the Bullets look much better than the Mach 1 wheels. I only like Mach 1 wheels on a 99-04 car. They don't looks good on fox and Sn95's.

    Tires

    My 91 notch had fox LCA's, 95 spindles and 17x8 245's up front and they rubbed on the K-frame during a full lock. My 81 notch had fox LCA's, 96-04 spindles and 17x8's with a 245 and they did not rub anything during a full lock. My 91 GT had fox LCA's 96-04 spindles and 17x9's with 255's...

    Winter projects

    Ozz, isn't your car nice enough???? LOL. Can't wait to see the finished project once again. As for me...no winter projects. I just remodeled my kitchen, basement, and repainted my bathroom. I have been busy since the end of July. I'm doing nothing but working out, and relaxing all winter.

    Married? How do you get away with...

    You know, she knows I'm a car guy. That's my hobby and my career. I've worked on cars and sold parts since I was 16 years old for a job. But for a hobby, I've been right next to my Dad since the age of 5. I was right in the garage. So she knows that's how I make my living. The biggest...

    Not another "which shifter" thread...

    The B&M shifter went bad in my 96 Cobra and I tore the trans apart thinking it was something inside. Nope, shop confirmed it was the shifter. $350 wasted on paying the labor for them to tear it town and reassemble the T45. Anyways....I went MGW.......done. Best shift I've ever had. I've...

    Married? How do you get away with...

    I hate threads like these. I feel bad for the guys whos wives boss them around. My wife doesn't tell me what I can and can't do, and I don't tell her. We both make the same amount of money (within 5k of each other). If she wants a $300 dollar coach purse, she can buy it, if I want a set of...

    what to do with stock h-pipe?

    I just noticed you said it's a 4-cat pipe. I saw "4cat" and thought I read "4cyl" Those are pre converters and are worth $20 each. So around $80 on average total.

    GOAL: 12.999 on stock motor 5.0 and AOD. Possible?

    My AOD trans in my 91 GT would shift from 2nd to 3rd at 4,700 RPM. I thought something was wrong, but I read and was told they all do that. The 1-2-1 shift is the only way I could see your car getting into the 12's. When I 1-2-1 shifted the car, it was a beast!!!! It also had GT40 Heads...
