Got $1500 to spend...

[noxious_mustang]

this really sucks, could it be the computer or a solenoid or somthing...the haynes manual lists several things ....

 

[noxious_mustang]

it skips second gear and goes to third, if you manually shift to second it slips like a **** it just all of a sudden did it...what gives?

 

[Gearbanger 101]

Good thing you've got that $1,500 to play with, huh?

 

[Green4.6GT]

gears and x pipe and the 5 spd conversion...

the headswap does give you more power, and there are nothing wrong with autos... but


a 5 spd car is WAY more fun.... the 5 spd swap was at the top of my to do list, until i got stupid and bought rims instead so now i need tires, and then a new tranny lol

 

[noxious_mustang]

yeah...just i really want a 5-speed..dont really know what to do...

well as being a fellow owner of the slowest v8 mustang since before87.. i can tell you dont mess around, get gears (see sig)... it helped soo much more than i could have possibly expected, the car is a blast to drive now even with the slushbox auto..

I think you should go for the 5 spd swap.
An auto with the PI headswap and 3.73 gears isn't any faster than a stock non-PI 5spd.












Ok, I'm kidding, just seeing if tomustang was paying attention

ROTF


you almost got me, until i looked down a bit

haha, i walked all over a 99+ GT today, he asked what i got.... i said an AUTOMATIC.

 

[CanadaStang]

thanks...just wish i had that 5-speed....i work for jc's autobody and salvage so i could swap it over to a 5-speed...can get all year make and model motors...just about anything.....trying to figure out what to do...

If you could get another auto, and put a bit of $ into it, I think you'll be pretty impressed with how much better it is than the stocker. With a good converter and harder shifts, an auto can be real contender at the track. It would be a heck of a lot easier than converting yours to a 5 spd.

Is there quite a difference between yours and the 99+ , when you guys were racing?
Could you reel him in if he got a bit of a jump?

 

[tomustang]

i pulled on him very well, couple of times. it was jersey light-to-light traffic. soon enough i'm gonna get dyno'd. i found a place near me.

Whew!
Thats just what I wanted to hear

 

[tomustang]

i'd say gapping the plugs put me there.

Do you guys want to rent a room? That way you could gap each others plugs in private?

I would guess your intermediate one way clutch is done. I'm thinking its time for a new tranny.
