    How to remove crankshaft position sensor?

    I unbolted it but the a/c compressor and clutch is in the way. Please tell me I don't have to take both of those off to get this thing out. I searched and found nothing other than "wiggle and it will come free". The part that goes to the crank is about two inches long and I don't see any way to...

    a/c clutch removal help

    I'm putting a new a/c clutch on my 96 GT and I'm having some problems. I read some of the writeups on here but I can't figure it out. I removed the front plate (which had sheared apart when the clutch went) and I don't know what to do next. I have an a/c clutch puller I rented from autozone but...

    air compressor squeaking

    There's a squeaking sound coming from my air compressor whenever the engine is on. If I turn the a/c on it blows cold and works fine, but when I accelerate it pulls on the car (I thought it was tire roll at first). It looks like the pulley is going to freeze. Is there any way to replace just the...

    sqeaking sound from front end?

    squeaking sound from front end? When I turn the wheel really hard my front end is making a squeaking sound. I thought it needed PS fluid but I checked and its perfectly fine and there's no other leaks that I can see. It doesn't really do it when I turn the wheel to the left, and its not the...

    going through radiators like nobodys business

    My radiator blew the other day for the third time in a year and a half of owning my car. Is there any reason you guys can think of that it would do this? Surely I haven't gotten three radiators in a row that were defective. I've tried two different brands (Visteon and some other brand I can't...

    Time to sell the 'stang?

    I've got a 1996 GT with 122k on it and I need some positive reinforcement here :)...I'm finally moving out of my parents house in two months and I don't know what to do with my car. I'm moving to L.A. so it's not like I need a truck or something different, I just don't want to be stuck without a...

    Transmission grinding w/Tri-Ax

    I've got a 1996 GT with a Steeda Tri-Ax on there. I bought it like this, so I have no manual for it (I don't know if it even comes with one for that matter). My transmission will occasionaly grind when shifting from 1st-2nd, 2nd-3rd and sometimes even putting it into first or fifth. At first it...

    radiator bracket

    I posted a question about a radiator here a few days ago, but I just figured out that it's not the radiator that is cracked like I originally thought, it's the top bracket right above it. I just ordered the part from Ford, but I'm thinking I'm probably going to just put the radiator in there as...

    2nd gear grinding

    Hey guys. Just picked up a 96 GT with a 5 speed, and I've noticed that sometimes when I shift into 2nd it grinds before it goes in. If I take my time and shift, it works just fine, but if I get on it and shift fast it'll grind. I'd also like to note that it's got a Steeda Tri-Ax, so maybe I'm...
