    Hurst or Steeda

    That's not entirely true. I found that the notchy feel of the Hurst combined with its weak center return spring actually made it more difficult to hit third gear than with the stock factory shifter. I've also read other reviews on this forum that have confirmed my observations so it's not...

    Hurst or Steeda

    Whatever...I owned the Hurst for two weeks before I pulled it, sold it, and installed the MGW. I guess aliens made me do it. If I would have listened to those on this forum that have tried both and have personal experience it would have saved me some time and money. Go back and read the...

    Accidental Oil Mix

    I know this is slightly off topic but WTF? Every thread is peppered with reports about how lame Ford is when it comes to warranty claims. It seems the customer is subject to interrogation on every potential warranty issue so as if to hopefully get out of having to do any work on the cars...

    E-Brake stuck

    You guys should forward that to information Ford to be included in an e-brake TSB :rlaugh: Mustang owner's are certainly tolerant of the car's faults...nevermind that e-brakes are a safety feature and required to be working properly by law in the state that I'm a resident in... :rolleyes: am...

    spitting noise on acceleration

    Wouldn't an exhaust leak throw an engine code? Why I'm asking is that I 'think' (agreed...tough to tell from limited description) I have a similar sound which to my ears sounds like an exhaust leak; I've had no work done on the car though and it only has 3K miles on it. ???

    Auto or Std

    yEEE HaWwww!! They should reek like gasoline, rattle like a can of rocks, get 5mpg, and have panties hangin' from the rearview mirror too!!!! :rolleyes: ...and in response to bigcat's post...I'm not knockin' you Greg...just your narrow-minded concept of what an American car should be. I think...

    Auto or Std

    If the Mustang didn't have traction issues due to the horsepower/torque and light rear-end while driving in the rain...and if the T3650 was a better (smoother shifting) transmission it would be a joy to drive with the manual. As is though, it can be a beeatch in poor weather and stop and go...

    2010 GT Tail Lights on an 2009 GT? Can it be done?

    I prefer OEM too...but after installing sequentials in my car if I had it to do all over again I'd order the non-OEM harnesses and keep the old (OEM) ones in case you ever have to put it back to stock. I ordered the OEM modded harnesses and it just wasn't worth it. We're talking about one...

    CAI air Filter?

    I'm old and lazy and don't feel like cleaning grime off my throttle body...I'd rather sacrifice some horsepower for better filtering too. Will do, thanks! Are most of the CAI filters "generic"...in other words will the Amsoil filter fit pretty-much any of them? Thanks for all the info...

    CAI air Filter?

    I know this is a stupid (or an unheard of) question...but are there any CAI's that use a paper filter or are they all the reuseable oil K&N types? Does the Ford CAI (Shelby/Bullitt) use an oil coated membrane filter as well?

    Tri-Ax or Hurst Billet, if u had to pick

    FWIW I never said you (or I) couldn't find 3rd with the Hurst...it's just way faster, smoother, and easier to find it with the MGW in my opinion.

    Tri-Ax or Hurst Billet, if u had to pick

    That's something to consider...the MGW (and Tri Ax too I believe) has stronger springs so the shifter centers itself and you can find third easy. It almost goes into third by itself, where the Hurst is much harder to get into third due to the weaker spring (at least on the Comp+ model and I...

    Tri-Ax or Hurst Billet, if u had to pick

    I bought the Hurst Comp+ to save some money and ended up replacing it with the MGW two weeks later. You DO get what you pay for with the MGW. Also, if you're looking at the billet Hurst you're only saving, what? $25? The billet Hurst doesn't look like that much of an improvement over the...

    How to remove the e-brake handle

    I just used my hands. You kind of have to squeeze and twist the two pieces apart though (move them in opposite directions). If you try to pull them straight apart it's near-impossible. It's also very hard to do without removing the console (especially reassembling the handle with the...

    How to remove the e-brake handle

    Simply put, you pull the plastic cover apart carefully. It's easier if you remove the console but I did it without taking the console apart. The MGW website has a detailed video.

    are 356 miles on a new 08 Mustang from a dealer a lot?

    I think my '08 had 70. That was the highest mileage of any "new" car I've purchased. I bought it two months ago though...in other words it sat on dealers lots for around a year before it finally sold (The build date was 12-07).

    Wrapping the Speedo

    Sort of unrelated to the Mustang...but my brother had a '65 Thunderbird with the 'thermometer' style speedo. One day he maxxed it out and it stuck and wouldn't return to zero again :rlaugh: I've never gotten my S-197 past 110...and haven't experienced the hood scare...yet! Honestly the...

    StangNet Releases THE Official images of the 2010 Ford Mustang

    I agree completely. This is a better looking car: http://www.caranddriver.com/var/ezwebin_site/storage/images/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/future_cars_2009_and_beyond/2010_ford_mustang_car_news/2010_ford_mustang/formus_illus_10_1/1492165-1-eng-US/formus_illus_10_1_gallery_image_large.jpg...

    StangNet Releases THE Official images of the 2010 Ford Mustang

    Man, that's funny. I just bought my '08 betting that I wouldn't like the 2010 as well and I won the bet! It's a nice looking Mustang and I like some of the things they've done with the interior better than the 05-09 but overall the exterior design leaves me cold. No doubt it'll be a big...
