I need your thoughts/opinions
New mustang owner here, decided to sign up to get some opinions out there. Give you a little background on the car, 92 calypso notch, E303, Edelbrock heads, 1.6 rockers, Cobra intake, long tubes, flowmaster 40's, bbk ca intake, 70mm tb, not sure if the injectors are oversize or not, crane cams fireball ignition. 100 shot of nitrous. Car has 50,000 miles, in absolutely beautiful shape but a lot of these mods were done a long time ago. I have decided to put it down for a while and go through some leaky gaskets, bad mounts, hide some wires, clean rusty headers, etc. since the tranny is aggravating me.
Tranny- If I am accelerating as the clutch is coming off, it will stay in second. Like when you would take off from a stop sign and continue driving normal. However, If I am not mashing the gas while letting off the clutch, it will not stay in second. Like when going from third to second to decelerate for a turn. I feel like I have plenty of clutch in the pedal. Compared to my fathers T5, mine seems a little clunkier in the shifter and the pedal is harder to press, but I wouldnt think it abnormal. My transmission is a factory 92 t5 with hurst short shift. The clutch cable is one of these deals with the adjustable firewall mount. After every good cruise I have to readjust the thing all the way out to get good pedal. For some reason that thing wont stay in adjustment. I am rebuilding the T5 in about a week and want to know, with the typical rebuild kit will this second gear problem be solved or do I have a bad shift fork or something that I need to buy in addition to the kit? I am going back to a factory style clutch cable. Car has 50,000 miles on it and around 330 horsepower. 3.73 rear end. I am sure the clutch is probabley stock, by the way, the nitrous has never been used. I knew the prior owner and he hadnt used it. I havent used it. I know T5's arent supposed to like the nitrous. I dont want you to use this in your tranny diagnostic.
Intake- for my bbk fendermount air intake, where can I buy the rubber couplers that hold the peices together? I dont know if I have overlooked them on a site somewhere but I dont want a new intake, just the rubber couplers, these are looking tired. BTW, I dont care if they are BBK or not, would prefer grabber blue. Plus the P.O. cut a huge hole in the upper coupler and shoved the nitrous sprayer in it, there has got to be a better way to do it. Any good looking suggestions?
Mounts- What motor/transmission mounts do you guys recommend?
Long Tubes- Should I be able to pull those off without lifting the engine? Im gonna give it a shot but worse comes to worse I gotta do the mounts anyway.
Thanks for any of you guys help. Its really appreciated.
