    Does anyone have Magnum 500 rims on their stang?

    I've got this vision in my head about what my white '95 GT vert would look like with 15" Magnum 500 rims and white letter tires. I'm an older guy, and had several cars over the years ('65 Fairlane 500 vert, '65 Dodge Coronet 500, '68 Dodge Charger R/T, '73 Dodge Charger S/E) with this...

    How do I disable my trunk-opening button in glove compartment?

    I would like to disable my trunk-opening button in my '95 GT vert. I never use it to open the trunk, and I sometimes lock my laptop in there when I run into a store or something rather than leave it where someone can see it. Is there a plug I can disconnect or a fuse I can pull? I don't want to...

    Southern California vert owners, please read.

    It's that time, my '95 GT verts original top is starting to look like swiss cheese. If you had your top replaced, which shop did you go to and what was the approximate cost? Any references would be appreciated. I'm located in Huntington Beach but willing to travel a bit for a good deal. Thanks:)

    Convertible top cylinder question

    About a year ago, one of my convertible top cylinder/pistons cracked and started leaking fluid, making opening and closing the top with the button impossible. I disconnected the hydraulic line from the pump and drained the fluid, so that I could put the top up and down by hand. I recently...

    MACH 460-AM/FM CASSETTE TO CD HARNESS?

    I have a 1995 Mustang GT vert that came with the Mach 460 am/fm cassette. I recently purchased a Mach 460 am/fm cassette w/the slave cd unit below it from another 1995 Mustang GT. I ordered a OEM wiring harness that was supposed to connect the Mach 460 head unit with the slave cd unit off...

    Vehicle stalling after Speedcal install

    I had 4:10's installed in my '95 GT and I had a speedcal installed a few weeks later to correct my speedometer. Since then the speedometer doesn't act smoothly, it will stay at zero for a while and then jump up to the speed you are going, and when you are slowing to a stop it will sometimes jump...

    Best/safest way to clean engine?

    I have a '95 GT vert with 68,000 miles on it and as far as I know it has never had the engine cleaned. With old cars I have had in the past I would just cover the distributor and carb and spray the engine down good at the coin-op car wash. With all the sensors and wiring in my Mustangs engine...

    Check engine light after oil pressure switch replacement?

    I've had a problem recently with oil leaking from my 5.0. I tried to determine where it was coming from, but I couldn't tell for sure. I ended up taking it in to a shop today, they replaced the oil pressure switch and o-rings on the drain plugs. Cool, I thought, problem fixed. Well now I don't...

    AODE fluid change needed after 14K miles?

    I purchased a 1995 Gt vert last summer with low miles (48,000) from the original old man owner. It was well taken care of, completely stock down to the air silencer. It had the typical low throttle shudder/slip in 2nd/3rd gear, so I had the trans fluid flushed and refilled with Mercon V. This...

    Disconnect vert top cylinders?

    When I went to put the top up the other day, fluid started spraying out of the area near the cylinder. I was able to stand up and pull the top forward and up manually, but it was a slooow pull. I'm thinking about just disconnecting the cylinders for now, it should pull up and down easily with...

    Anyone running Flowmaster 10 series mufflers?

    I'm currently running Flowmaster original 40's welded into my stock '95 GT's exhaust system. They sound good but I would like it a little louder. I still have my original H-pipe w/four cats on the car, along with my stock tailpipes. I intend to keep all of this to comply with California's smog...

    Any way to adjust headlight/turn signal gap?

    I just bought and installed aftermarket black housing JDM headlights and turn signals, just wondering if there is any way to adjust the gap between the headlights and turn signals? On the drivers side the gap is about 1/4", on the other side the gap is about 1/2". I didn't notice whether or not...

    What air pressure for 315/35 17 sumitomos?

    I just put on my 17 x 10.5 black bullitts with 315/35 17 Sumitomo HTRZ tires. My car is a 1995 GT Convertible, my daily driver/cruiser, and I'm wondering what air pressure I should run to get the most life out of these tires. I don't do burnouts, so traction isn't an issue, just want the tires...

    Some transmission cooler questions

    I am planning on installing a trans cooler on my '95 GT AODE vert. For those of you who have done this, did you bypass the factory cooler in the radiator? Or did you hook it up inline with the stock cooler? Also, did you just cut the stock hard metal lines and slip the rubber hoses that go to...

    Where can I buy 2 black Bullitts 17 X 10.5 ?

    Like the title says, looking for (2) Deep-dish black bullitts 17 x 10.5 for my 1995 Mustang GT vert. I already have (4) 17 X 8 black bullitts, just looking to upgrade the back rims. I've seen them on AFS website on Ebay in the past, but now they are only offering them in silver, and they won't...

    I was just doing a tune-up on my 1995 GT convertible, plugs, wires, cap and rotor, and I had a h**l of a time trying to get to the # 4 plug (passenger side rear). I'm sure I'm not the only one whose had a problem with this. What socket-swivel-extension-socket wrench combination do you guys use...

    My overdrive button won't work when car is cold.

    I've got a 1995 GT convertible, 5.0, AODE, 51,000 miles, and the o/d on-off button will not work in the morning when it is cold. I can't seem to get it to work at any time on the way to work (15 miles) in the morning. When I come out for lunch and the car's been sitting in the sun, the button...
