I just recently purchased a 1993 Mustang notch with the 2.3L. It has a few problems that I'd like to ask all of you, that are much more experienced with Mustangs, about.
1-- The transmission (automatic) needs to "warm up" before putting it into drive. It will not shift if placed in drive when the car is first cold started, and requires a 4-5 minute drive *manually shifting 1st and 2nd gear* before being put into drive. After the transmission "warms up", however, it runs great and shifts as smooth as silk. What could cause this?
2-- When driving, the car is nice and smooth, however when stopped it vibrates terribly. The idle is not too low, and the a/c on or off doesn't make a difference. I am hoping the problem isn't engine mounts, as I have heard the passenger side mount is nearly impossible to find. What may it be?
3-- Not a bad problem (I don't think), but very annoying. When the car is turned on, the starter "grinds" (slightly) even after the car starts up. I had this problem with my previous 93 notch and was told it was the starter solenoid, however after replacing it, the noise still continued. This car starts perfectly on the first crank, so could it still be a starter problem?
