Undecided what to do with this. They are BBK white face gauges. Look good in the day but suck monkey ass at night.

However, i am not sure i'll be doing much night driving when this car is done, so maybe i'll leave alone for now.

I think i just want to hold onto it until i get the new one installed.

Amazingly, i already found a buyer for some of the AOD stuff i'm taking out. I was just gonna junk it. I should sell the dash because I just discovered the flywheel I have is for a 10" clutch. I need to buy a new flywheel. Summit has them for $100 for a stock replacement. Not bad. I've been buying a lot of new parts lately so i'm trying to recoop whatever I can by selling what I take out...even if it's cheap money for stock stuff or the couple of goodies I do have and don't need anymore.

I just ordered NEW

Clutch cable + fork
Speedo cable
VSS
Clutch bolts
King Cobra clutch


I'll order my new flywheel soon, and i gotta track down an E6 bellhousing

Nothing much Mike, Since I got my motorcycle i've been putting the stang on the back burner. But i think this year i'm taking the stang out.

You still living at the same place or did you move?

Same place. I got rid of my '03 GT. Got a G35 now. Fine ride but the Mustang itch is driving me crazy. I need to get my 5.0 out this summer.

Oh you are gonna hate me then for this.


I just sold everything I took out. Quick $50 for the pedals, shifter, console plate and the clutch jumper wire....two different buyers.

I've even had other people ask me when the rest of my stuff is coming out. One guy wants the TV cable.

How much does a good AOD go for anyway? Mine has 100K with no shifting issues at all.

More goodies.


I was about to install the clutch cable I had...when it cracked!! SO i figured I wasn't a poor college kid anymore (i was in college 6 years ago when i started gather my 5-spd swap parts) so i chucked it in the trash and decided to go new.

This is where I don't understand Ford. You go buy a clutch cable and it's $100+ for a new stock cable. BUT, if you order it in the M-7553-A302 kit, it's $40 and it comes with a new Clutch Fork!!

So why not right? Now i have a new fork and can sell off the used Fork that i was going to use!

Anyway...pics of the cable kit, fork, clutch and clutch bolts.

I need a new flywheel now. I discovered the flywheel I have is an 81-85 flywheel for a 10" clutch. I bought it back when i was a broke college kid, so I took what I could find. Now it will sit in the junk pile along with the 83-85 T-5 bellhousing I can't use either


But since i'm now a young professional and have a new "F used parts" policy when it comes to things that spin rapidly and could chop off my feet, i'll be ordered a new OEM flywheel, flywheel bolts and my e-brake cables perhaps next week.



PS: If anyone wants an 81-85 flywheel, 83-85 bellhousing or 86-95 used clutch fork...PM me.

Got my new speedo cable. I didn't want to use my original for reasons of which you'll see in later pics when i yank it out this weekend.

I wasn't sure which to get. My car does not have cruise control and is speed density. To convert to Mass Air, I found out it's highly recommended i install a VSS. So the cable on the left and the VSS are what is going in.

I ordered the cable on the right before i knew I needed to put the VSS in, so i might send it back...or just might hang onto it. Was only $20.
