    I'd change the tranny fluid regardless of the level, its old, just get new stuff.

    96 GT, 2 questions

    Both are on the tranny, one on the bottom, one on the top. Has nothing to do with under the hood, you're thinking too automatic :rolleyes: Only way to check your fluid level is to take off the plug up top and stick your finger in.

    1. Manual trannies dont have a dipstick 2. Yes the new trans fluid WILL help with the gear grind, and may or may not completely eliminate it. There is one plug to drain it and one to refil it up top.

    mustang design engineers didn't think winter?

    You have a very good point. This is the one major flaw I saw when I first looked at the new 05 mustang. It is really a pointless add-on and is going to cause some MAJOR trouble I can tell; just wait for next winter when there'll be a lot on the road. Everyones going to be complaining. I...

    A Unique Question - What's the LOWEST RPM You Can Shift At Safely?

    The car will not stall if its rolling....I have proof of this. Once when I first got my car I had just changed lanes behind someone and had to stop really really fast and I forgot to push the clutch in and I left it in 4th gear. Well I came to a complete stop and it had not stalled...the...

    '03 Mach 1 w/ Rebuilt Title

    I agree...when I was looking for a mustang this one guy wanted $7500 for a 1991 white LX hatch with a salvage title because, and I quote, "The seats were stolen" :lol:

    '03 Mach 1 w/ Rebuilt Title

    Well, obviously if you're just thinking about the purchasing part, that price is pretty good since the damage was fairly minor. The only thing I'd worry about is that if you ever go to sell it you have that rebuild title...and the person buying it will not "by an odd coincidence" know that it...

    cats removed....

    I agree that some cars with no cats sound bad, but others sound good. Personally, I love the sound of my exhaust. I felt some gains with the full exhaust...no loss of anything...

    96 Cobra Q's

    275 up front is about the max. I have them on mine and they do not rub at all (1997 GT). I believe 315 is close to the max for the back, not positive, but I know 315 will fit.

    building an engine

    http://www.seanhylandmotorsport.com/gt-cobra-shortblocks.shtml Sean hyland performance sells some nice looking shortblocks, 600hp capable and 1000hp capable. But I'm not sure if you want to entirely build it, then you'll have to choose a block (what material/what size)
