    T5 Transmission Whine

    Like the title says, it's whining in all five forward gears. I thought it was the rear end, but when I got my son to listen to it while we sat it up on jack stands, it's definately coming from the tranny. The pitch stays pretty constant with road speed (loudest between 25 to 50 mph) no matter...

    Cobra rear wing, which one and where to buy ?

    I'm ready to ditch my Saleen type rear spoiler and replace it with the Cobra style. My question like the title says, which one and where to buy ? Also some say "Includes T-stems which simplify locating the holes to be drilled". What does that mean? I assume the Cobra wing will use the factory...

    Wilwood Adj Proportioning Valve Leaking

    The Prop Valve I bought from LRS (Ford Racing, but says Wilwood under the sticker) less than a year ago is leaking around the fitting that holds the knob in place. I assume there is an O-ring, gasket or packing gland of sorts inside. Has anyone here ever had this problem and managed to rebuilt...

    Tokico D-Spec Shocks

    Anybody here running them ? How do you like 'em ?? They are one of the few shocks / struts I've found that are adjustable for both compression and rebound. Are they hard to adjust (specifically the rears) also, can they be used with coil overs (for future use)? Thx

    D-Specs

    I've decided to dump my present shocks and struts (beginning with the rear). Anyone running the Tokico D-Specs, and if so, likes and dislikes ? They are one of the few shocks / struts I've found that are adjustable for both compression and rebound. Are they hard to adjust (specifically the...

    LRS 10th Anniversary Wheel / Tire Package

    I did several searches but didn't find a conclusive answer, so sorry if this is a repeat. I'm going to 5 lugs and fell in love with the 10th Anni Cobra wheels. Late Model Resto has a wheel / tire package (link below) that I'd like to get, but the rear wheel size is 17 X 10.5 with 315/35...

    Differences Between '01 and '03 Cobra IRS

    I know this is a little off topic here, but I tried the SVT forum to no avail. I want to transplant an IRS into my Fox body but I have a few technical questions. I've seen several '03 IRS's on Ebay, but I thought they were a little over priced, so I put it off. Now I've found an '01 IRS that...

    2001 vs 2003 IRS

    I did a search but couldn't find the answer I was looking for. I've got a '89 GT that I want to transplant an IRS into. I've seen several '03 IRS's on Ebay, but I thought they were a little over priced, so I put it off. Now I've found an '01 IRS that seems to be at a good price (with about...

    Cobra IRS in a Fox Mustang - Anyone here do it ?

    I originally posted this in 5.0 Talk but decided to post here as well in hopes of getting more response (sorry for any duplication). I'm thinking seriously about doing this and I was curious to hear from those who have successfully swapped an IRS into their Foxbody. What were the most labor...

    IRS in Foxbody - Anyone here do it ?

    I did a search on this and got nothing. I'm thinking seriously about taking the plunge and I was curious to hear from those who have swapped an IRS into their Foxbody. What were the most labor intensive things about it, what were the hardest to find parts, etc. and would you do it again. What...

    Mass Air Sensor - Way to test it ?

    We are having a rough idle problem with a mostly stock 89LX. All of the usual sensors have been replaced, ACT, ECT, TPS (replaced and reset over and over again), Oxygen sensors replaced, EGR cleaned, IAB cleaned, 10 pins re-bent and dielectric grease added. We got one code (can't remember the...

    Shims for throwout bearing retainer collar

    We're doing a clutch job on an 89 LX with stock T5. We ordered the steel throwout bearing retainer collar from Summit thinking it was a good thing to do while at it. Problem is, the stock shim is too tight and no shim is too loose. All the local Ford place has is the stock shim and the local...

    Windshield Wiper Problems

    Problem: Wipers quit working on intermitent at first, then stopped working on low altogether, only worked on high. Finally they wouldn't even work on high. I noticed yesterday before they quit they were moving really jerky on low. I did a search but didn't find any definitive answers...
