    Is this Clutch slipping?

    Yup. by the way, when the tack would jump it also had a little hesitation and backfire and other times just a complete slip. If I were to drive normal I never would have known it had a problem, but I like to punch it once in a while. I'm glad to leave a thread with a solution to a problem...

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    Problem fixed. I replaced my spark plugs with motor-craft plugs, swapped coil with OEM coil, and problem remained. I kind of ruled out the clutch because it felt good,no gear grinding, smooth shifts and the problem occurred in neutral also. Then I called a friend of mine, he checked and test...

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    I have an update on my problem. I have only checked under the car and looking in the hood for anything unusual everything looks normal. Today I drove it it and still RPMs jumped only at WOT. When I got home it also did in neutral when I rev past 3oooRPM. I'm starting to think its not clutch...

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    It has stock gears. I just don't understand why its doing that. I'll post what I find when my mechanic looks at it tomorrow. I did the 5th gear test and RPMs didn't jump it just gradually sped up. I saw the needle jump on 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th. Is there some kind of adjustment somewhere that I...

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    I did a complete WOT run on the freeway and rpms jump on all gears. Runs fine under normal driving. I know its not tires spinning.

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    Well, I just ran it to 35 mph put it on 5th and floored it and it gradually sped up without rpm jumping up. But first and second gear at WOT still rpm spikes up to 5000. I do have an adjustable clutch quadrant at the firewall. I don't know how to mess with that though.

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    The clutch feels good to me. I think it was hard for the smog guy because he was like 4 feet tall. I'll try the 5th gear run later thanks.

    Is this Clutch slipping?

    I have a 1994 5.0 5-speed. Toady I was driving to get smogged and sounded like I drove over a wire or something. I thought nothing of it. After I passed smog went home and floored it in first and rpm needle jumped to like 5000 rpm without the car moving any faster. Then I tried WOT again in...

    for anyone that has replaced a convertible top..

    I paid $750 parts and labor. from tan top to black top with new window. My old top was worn and torn and the rear window was slowly coming off of the top I had air coming in all the time. You got to shop around for prices and reputation.

    Could this be the answer to steering wheel play?

    update on my steering wheel play. After many minutes of staring at the u-joint and steering shaft I discovered that the freakin u-joint to shaft bolt was installed the wrong way which is why it wouldn't squeeze and lock into the shaft. Only one end has thread in the hole so that is why it would...

    2003 cobra steering shaft?

    Does a collapsible steering shaft from a 2003 cobra fit our cars? If it does is it easy to install? I have lots of play in my steering wheel and will be getting an 03 cobra steering rack soon.
