power shifted into 3rd lost the shifter due to a sweaty palm and a POS stock shift knob. looks like im going back to my steeda knob or getting a pistol grip set up

SteedaGT9150 · Jul 27, 2010

i had a hurst pistol grip knob and absolutely hated it. mach 1 or 03 cobra knob are the most comfortable knobs you can get.

need something i cant loose the shifter in my hand... plus ive driven tons of cobra's dont really like that knob...

Have a upholstery shop stitch a softball glove to the shifter boot and stick your hand in it

lucky. You don't run a rev limiter? My 6AL saved my butt many times

as far as i know it doesnt have one ive sent it into the 7K range twice now. im going to be putting a 6al in this winter. but as far as i know it doesnt have one.

i would be willing to bet that the valve came in contact with the pistion if your rocker came off like that, did you roll the pushrods on a flat surface to see if they were bent?

Based on the stock tach or an aftermarket one? Is your engine still EFI?

aftermarket

and yes its an EFI set up

even my factory gauges arent factory... they are the saleen 200mph setup

90lxcoupe · Jul 27, 2010

if you dont have a chip there is no way that the car should have revved to 7000

tannerc91gt · Jul 27, 2010

6al box has saved me too but if youre basing 7k off the stock tach reading then odds are you were really hitting 6250 for a long time and stuff started coming loose.

srtthis · Jul 27, 2010

off the autometer on my dash... unless that things off also. but it wouldnt suprise me at all.

and i dont think its chipped yet. its one of the few things i havent checked.

What is your tach? Autometer?

I've heard ghost stories of a handful of Foxes leaving the factory without a true rev limiter programmed in. Not sure how accurate that is, just something I've heard.

its an autogauge... it was there when i got it. but if i remeber right autogauge is made by autometer

as for the no limiter... its got one just really high up there. takes a REALLY bad miss shift to actually hit it, like i did here
:edit:
might not truely have one in the computer, just cant spin any higher at that point

CDQICKGT · Jul 27, 2010

My cars not chipped either and I've let it slip past 6k a time or two and it just rolled right along. Maybe our cars are just extra special

NIKwoaC · Jul 27, 2010

It's my understanding that 5 speed cars have the limiter set at 6500, while the AOD cars only go to ~6200 from the factory. So if you miss a shift, it can wind out a little bit, but it shouldn't be going to 7K.

lancec2c30 · Jul 27, 2010

I haven't found a rev limiter with my AOD computer. I've seen 6,700 coming off a burnout with my autogauge tach.
