    Help T45 stuck in reverse

    I got it to come out of gear by coming out on the clutch enough to let it start creeping back while steadily trying to push it out of gear. I guess this would be a good time to install the new shifter that's in the trunk since I already took the cover off.

    Help T45 stuck in reverse

    Drove 2000 Mustang to work today and had no shifting problems. I stopped at the parts store around the corner still with no problems. Then when I backed into the driveway and tried to pull up the car got stuck in reverse. It's really stuck, I tried taking it out of gear both with the car on...

    Devil Dog, I got the black FR500 replicas in 18x9/10 from Pro3i. Love them.

    Buying Tires NOW. Right choice?

    I've had several sets of Falken tires on various cars over the years and really liked them. They are not the best tires you can buy, but I think they are a good overall tire at a competitive price. I just put 265/35 and 285/35 FK-451 on the Mustang and have the Azenis tires on my BMW. I like...

    good quality 18 inch wheels....

    I got the FR500s from PRO3 and I think they are top notch, so far. I have 18x9 and 18x10.

    ? about raising 87 Octane levels to 93

    I started hearing a little pinging while driving around this weekend. I drove to NC and topped off several times. I wondered if I was getting watered down fuel. I guess I probably was. That's really screwed up; we now pay double for a subpar product. :damnit:

    where to get nice exhaust tips?

    MAC Exhaust has 2.5" tips with the option of getting 3.5". Unfortunately, mine had 2.5" tips when I got it. It looks real cheesy compared to the Magnaflow tips I had on my other Mustang.

    Eibach Pro Kit Springs or Sportline Springs??

    V_Eight's picture looks better every time I see it. I have 18x9/10 FR500s and installed the ProKit Monday. I'm hoping they settle a little more, especially in the front, but I really like the overall look. I will try to post pics over the weekend or Monday. I don't think my ride is...

    How Long for Springs to Settle???

    I got an Eibach ProKit and rims installed yesterday. The 18x9 and 18x10 FR500 make the car look really mean. As for the springs the rear sits nice, but the front still looks a little high. Is that normal? Will they settle down more than the rear due to the weight of the engine? How long...

    which rims would you prefer?!

    IMO, Chrome Saleens or Y2K Cobra rims will look much better on your car than either of those. I know they won't be unique, but you have to be careful putting aftermarket rims on certain cars and Mustangs are part of that group.

    Help - Paranoid Tire/Rim Question

    Oh, I was plenty pissed and I still am. When they called the owner back in he acted like it was no big deal, so we had issues from the first second. He was like, "so you don't want the rim", of course may answer was f**k no, not like that. Thanks for the input so far, I had not even...

    Help with quieting down my exhaust

    The regular magnaflow mufflers would be a good choice. I had a Magnaflow cat-back with the stock h-pipe. It was pretty quiet at startup, idle and cruising with a nice growl at WOT. Plus the 3.5" SS tips look great.

    Help - Paranoid Tire/Rim Question

    I received my 18 x 9/10 FR500 rims and 265/285 tires. The shop I took them to for mounting had a problem with their balancing machine so they took them to another shop. Those FN idiots mounted the 285s on the 9" rims and 265's on the 10" rims. They are on hold until tomorrow because they also...

    What does it all mean?

    I agree with some of the above, especially the part about Ford being able to interchange parts, but I think it goes a little deeper than that. If memory serves me correctly. I'm pretty sure The Modular engine was made to be used in different applications, but also different displacements. The...

    Difference between my 02/3650 and buddy's 99/t-45

    It's especially bad since I live on a hill. To back into my driveway I have to come to a stop and hold the brake to avoid the grind. It even does it if the car is rolling backwards!!!!!! I used to let the 01 coast back and then put it in gear as it was leveling off. Not with this one.

    18x10/9 dilemna

    Nice ride V_Eight. My tires are scheduled to arrive tomorrow so I should be hooked up by early next week, if not Saturday. I hope mine looks as nasty as yours.

    18x10/9 dilemna

    By the way I ordered Falken 451 tires in 265/35 and 285/35. Not the best tires you could buy, but I've had them on other cars and liked them. Plus I only drive the Stang in good weather unless I get caught in the rain. I stopped at a tire shop Saturday because I saw them putting FR500s on...

    18x10/9 dilemna

    The chrome Y2K Cobra rims will look great on your car. I saw a white vert at MustangWeek with those rims. The top was down, but it was really sharp. To get back on topic. The 10" rims look much meaner than the 9" just sitting in my living room. I can't wait to get them on the car. I...
