Dear Mustang Enthusiasts,
I have a beloved 97 Cobra with around 130k miles. She runs great!! Lately, I've just been changing the oil, keeping up with the tires, and an injector flush...she's just purring along like the great piece of Americana she is.
Anyway, I'm thinking about undertaking a bit more comprehensive service next time. I'd say the coolant has about 60k miles on it. I'm not sure how old the transmission/gear fluid is...brake fluid...again not sure. Any fluid I should particularly have changed? Do you all standardly wait for the clutch to go before redoing the gear fluid?
Also, I used to own a Cadillac Northstar Seville, which by the way, I have mixed fealings on how great the Northstar engine is. Certainly, many people rave about it. Nevertheless, interestingly, it's basically the Cobra motor! It's a 4.6L, dual overhead cam, just transposed. Anyway, the reason I reference it is because with it, you are told you have to add pills to the coolant system on a flush. Does the cobra need pills on a coolant flush?
Yours, Alan
