Roger, I think you should type up a description of this, what happens, and how to fix, and have Joe put in it the FAQ sticky.Green 94 5.0 said:mine had the same symptoms. my MLPS was bad (Manual Lever Position Sensor)
i hate that feeling, i love the 2nd gear downshift but more than half the time i hit the rev limiter and it falls on its face...I need a chip.droptopford 5 0 said:. plus it makes me so weary to wind it out thinking its just gonna hit the rev limiter instead of the next gear1200 into this trans and i will not invest another grand or so unless im rowing throw my own gears
Here's a TCCOA thread on replacing the MLPS sensor:abusedstang said:tccoa has some awesome info on it. Love the search function. It looks easy enough to replace. 2 bolts and a plug. I'm gonna try it and see what happens.
you wont regret the swap. it was by far the best thing i ever did to the car. as far as the aode goes, my tranny was completely rebuilt by ford to the tune of $1800 (paid for under warranty by the dealer i bought the car from since it started dying on me a week after i bought the car). this rebuild basically replaced everything but the case. 3 weeks later and it started slipping again. i said to hell with it and did the swap. i recommend you at least consider doing the same before you shell out about a grand for a rebuild.droptopford 5 0 said:yep, i just started getting the overdrive problems... i already rebuilt this beast (including converter and solenoids)at 70k when i bought it and now at 96k this b.s. arose and im starting to hit neutral instead of 2nd gear now at 1/2- w.o.t. so im thinkin t-5 if my buddy(a dealer) can find me a car to rip the trans out of. im so sick of always keeping an eye/ ear out for the next thing that could be going wrong. plus it makes me so weary to wind it out thinking its just gonna hit the rev limiter instead of the next gear1200 into this trans and i will not invest another grand or so unless im rowing throw my own gears
any tips of places to get parts for cheap... i know AMP sells a rebuilt kit for under 2 grand after including a clutch and t/o bearing, this is just too much while im in college now, thanksGreen 94 5.0 said:you wont regret the swap. it was by far the best thing i ever did to the car. as far as the aode goes, my tranny was completely rebuilt by ford to the tune of $1800 (paid for under warranty by the dealer i bought the car from since it started dying on me a week after i bought the car). this rebuild basically replaced everything but the case. 3 weeks later and it started slipping again. i said to hell with it and did the swap. i recommend you at least consider doing the same before you shell out about a grand for a rebuild.
you can find many parts in the classifieds as well as mustang salvage places like stangparts.com. in fact, i have a few stock parts i would part with if you were willing to pay shipping.....these are:droptopford 5 0 said:any tips of places to get parts for cheap... i know AMP sells a rebuilt kit for under 2 grand after including a clutch and t/o bearing, this is just too much while im in college now, thanks
