    Where the hell are the grease fittings?

    Hey, I know this is a really dumb question but I've done many oil changes on my 95 GT and have yet to locate the grease fittings on this car. Can someone tell me - or even better yet show a picture - of where the damn grease fittings are? I could be wrong, but I think I've seen other...

    A respectable mechanic in Syracuse?

    I can't honestly say that I know the going rate for a clutch replacement, it doesn't seem like there are any shops in the Syracuse area that specialize in clutch / transmission work that I could find. As I said, I called Pep Boys first, they quoted $650 but couldn't get to it until two days...

    A respectable mechanic in Syracuse?

    Well, because of time constraints, I ended up taking my car up to a ford dealer. Particularly, Courtesy Ford in Mattydale. I've been there before, and I knew that their service department was open 24 hours during the week, so I figured it was worth a try. I will say I am pleased with the...

    How much for a clutch on a 95 GT?

    If I knew someone in this area that could help me, I would consider tackling it myself. I've only lived in central NY for a year, after having moved 1,000 miles last summer. I don't know any mechanically-inclined people out here yet, so I think it's going to have to go in somewhere...

    How much for a clutch on a 95 GT?

    Ahh, yes. I should have figured that acronym out. I was thinking that the clutch replacement would be a good time to replace the rear main seal. I have definitely had leaky RMS in my previous (78) stang, and being as this one is leaking some oil, it wouldn't surprise me if it needed one as...

    A respectable mechanic in Syracuse?

    Does anyone know of a respectable mechanic in the Syracuse area? I made the mistake last year of taking my 95 gt to Kost tire in Nedrow (on S Salina St) for brake work, and was really taken for a ride. Its just a shame that I didn't have my impact wrench before then, or I could have avoided...

    Where to get new tires installed in Syracuse?

    I would have to argue for going anywhere BUT the Kost tire on South Salina St in Syracuse (or Nedrow?) I made the mistake of going there for brake work, and those clowns got more things wrong then right. They didn't even pay attention to my directional tires when they put my wheels back on...

    How much for a clutch on a 95 GT?

    Ok, I'll bite. What's the RMS? I'm guessing that they are not going to resurface the flywheel, we are talking about pep boys, here. I know very little about clutches beyond how to use it when driving... Isn't the pilot bearing part of the clutch assembly? I guess I'm not entirely sure...

    How much for a clutch on a 95 GT?

    The clutch on my 95 GT went out this weekend. It had been making noise for a while, and then last night it started making truly horrible noises. Sometimes with the clutch in, sometimes with it out. But very loud noises that only change with the clutch position. I am looking for a shop to...

    Autozone Code Scanners not Work

    PS: Don't be an idiot (like me the first time) and forget to turn your car off when you're done reading codes. Otherwise you'll have a code and a dead battery :)

    Autozone Code Scanners not Work

    If you search around, you should be able to find a ford OBD-I scanner fairly cheap. I think I got mine for less than $40 online. It runs on a 9V battery and reads both the engine codes and the ABS codes. Here's one I found through froogle.google.com...

    My power driver's seat has a mind of its own...

    The switch is fairly loose to the touch, so that makes sense that it could be the problem. I'll start calling around and see if I can find a yard with a power seat track. I'm guessing that your handle is supposed to be shorthand for "one tall mother f**ker", in which case, you can probably...

    My power driver's seat has a mind of its own...

    I've been having intermittent problems with the power driver's seat on my 95 GT. I replaced the seat track over a year ago now, but the problem I am currently having came much more recently. The problem is that sometimes while the car is parked (and I'm not in it...) the seat will move itself...

    Grease fittings?

    Is it true that there are no grease fittings on a 95 mustang GT? I have seen a couple of threads on here related to front end squeaks, where the conclusion was that these mustangs do not have grease fittings. If this is true, then at least I can stop banging my head looking for them...

    1994 Ford (drunk?) driving simulator...

    All I did to run it was extract the files into a directory (called "FORD" in this case) and then ran the executable "FORD.EXE". If you're running windoze, you might need to force it to run in DOS mode. This varies by windoze release, though. You could also try starting a command prompt...

    1994 Ford (drunk?) driving simulator...

    Ok, this program was supposedly called "Ford Simulator 5", and was the 1994 edition of the Ford Driving simulator series. Frankly, when I ran it, the response, even on the 94 mustang gt, was so poor that I think "drunk driving simulator" would be a better title. I post a link here to where you...

    Impact Sockets

    Hmmm.... Methinks that 345 ft/lbs of torque may be capable of lodging metal socket shrapnel into the sheetrock in my garage (or into other more delicate softer materials)... :rolleyes:

    Impact Sockets

    I just bought a new impact wrench, a post-christmas present to myself - the AC powered DeWitt 1/2" drive. 345 ft/lbs of torque I figure ought to do the job pretty well, until I move again and have a larger garage where I can have a nice big air compressor. My question is, which is the most...

    Does my 95 GT have traction control?

    Ok, thanks for the information. I think my car does have the limited slip differential, based on how it did in the snow last winter. My previous mustang did not have the limited slip, and would be a one-wheel wonder in the slightest of snowfalls. This one really gets around pretty well as long...

    Does my 95 GT have traction control?

    Actually, I just found a page that seems to indicate it was not an option in 1995: http://autos.msn.com/research/vip/Spec_Glance.aspx?year=1995&make=Ford&model=Mustang&trimid=-1 Not that I expect micro$oft would be all-knowledgable on my car...
