Sooo it was snow dusting last night, and raining for the last few days, And Since I'm a bum(well, just moved here, and have no job et ) for the last 2 weeks, I've been doing small things on my car that you normaly don't wanna do, because takes too much for almost no effect right away or whatever. So I've done the following.

1 Rear deff oil change(with Ford spec full synthetic oil, with friction mod)
2 Transmission oil change(again with Ford full synthetic oil)
3 Brake pad change(nothing special. Just Metal pad from Advanced auto)
4 Changed Brake fluid(didn't needed, and I shouldn't have.Took too long )
5 Full detail(wash&wax, ofcorse, and steam clean all mechanical components)
6 Throttle cable mod(This mod)
well, it is nice out today, so I took her out for little drive. Now my tranny seem smoother. ATF is not weighted oil, so I wouldn't think it would make any difference as far as smoothness goes, but it does. it is much easier to shift now especially 1st to 2nd. And she hook up much better then she did last week. and stop much better(no more squeel noise), and this throttle cable mod. I can actually do proper heel &toe now ! And since TB opens to full open much faster now, it does feel like I got more power(you just getting full power sooner is all really )
Don't know why Ford left such a slack is beyoud me, but this is highly recommended cheap and easy mod!! all and all, it was very usefeul mod. My car now feel much like she did when I first got her

i need an overhaul soon, 60k miles real soon. car is starting to annoy me though, so many squeeks and rattles now... i think they are all products of my mods though, exhaust shook crap loose and lowered car affected a bunch of suspension parts.

I love doing little things like that when I have nothing else to do. Especially washing my car, and ESPECIALLY cleaning up the interior.
