    How do you resolve a bad New TKO500(shifting 2nd to 3rd...)

    So it's been about 2,000 miles I definately never got on the new tranny clutch setup for the first 1,500 and I found it funny I couldn't rev the cobra out in 2nd and nail 3rd beyond 6,000 rpms. I bet my buddy with a supercharged cobra that he couldn't hit 3rd and sure enough he couldn't...

    Bad throw out bearing installed with new TKO and Clutch - advice on potential damage?

    If there was visual evidence - what next do they have to replace - do they just send the whole tranny back or what? I am just worried either the shop or the parts guy is going to try and screw me on this one...I can't actually be present when they do the work because it's a hell of a drive from...

    Bad throw out bearing installed with new TKO and Clutch - advice on potential damage?

    How would I know if it's messed up the input shaft, I went to downshift the other day and it grinded into 3rd - I was pissed off at the time so I can't recall if I had the clutch pushed in completely to the floor, but again, that concerned me considering I just dropped all that cheddar! My fear...

    Bad throw out bearing installed with new TKO and Clutch - advice on potential damage?

    So I posted on here a few weeks back about how the new TKO and clutch setup was squealing. Well as we all thought it's definately a bad throw out bearing. We took the car back to the mustang shop and they put the car on a rack to show us where the problem was - one of the teeth was bent I...

    Radiator light on, mechanic said could be a bad harness coming from reservoir?

    Good to know, hope it doesn't come back!

    Radiator light on, mechanic said could be a bad harness coming from reservoir?

    Just an update, I hate to say it but the guys probably just didn't reset the battery! I have driven it a good 50 miles since I reset the computer and it hasn't come on since! Thanks for the input guys - I am just glad that this is MOST LIKELY behind me now!

    X pipe vs H pipe on 99-04 stangs...

    H pipe if you are going without cats, High flow X pipe if you need cats. Offroad Hpipe is the best sounding exhaust with two chamber flowmaster IMO. I will say when I switched from a high flow x pipe to an offroad h pipe I could feel a little less power with the H - but the sound is undeniably...

    2V mustang with a 03 cobra superchanger?

    Yeah at the end of the day there is a reason these blowers can be obtained as cheap as you see them for.. they aren't that useful to the average mustang, and you have people that switch to the KB charger and give these away practically...I read up about it before and its a lose lose...I just...

    2V mustang with a 03 cobra superchanger?

    What about if you had say a 98 cobra motor...would it be a lot easier than this project? I am curious if anyone has done that...or if it just costs about the same as a regular charger....

    Radiator light on, mechanic said could be a bad harness coming from reservoir?

    This would be the part I am talking about...does anybody know what the part number is, or even what its called, for this or if it can even been replaced without a new reservoir? The light didn't come back on this morning on the way to work - but again, over the next few cranks, we will see what...

    Radiator light on, mechanic said could be a bad harness coming from reservoir?

    So as stated with the crossover thread, my local shop was able to repair the crossover pipe and it seems to be functioning properly, the only problem is when I pulled out of the shop the radiator light came on. I went back and the tech that worked on it covered his ass nicely and said "I just...

    Problem with gears? Or something else?

    I assume you are not talking about syncho's grinding at the tranny? If so, your tranny could be a ticking time bomb...First it's a grind here and there, then it's no 2nd, 3rd, and/or 4th gear....If so, it happened in my 96 gt - put a TKO in, and just happened in my Cobra, put another TKO in...

    Best Gear

    I got 4:30's in a cobra, but cobra's like to rev at higher rpm's so it might be overkill for your GT - if you are running the 1/8 then I'd say 4:10, but I went from 4:10's to 4:30's and as far as MPG goes it's all about how much you like to play around town - I can baby my 4:30's and get 20+mpg...

    stiff clutch! whats the problem?

    I'd say as far as "target price" I would look for no more than $15,000 as your highest offer(out the door if it's a dealer) - assuming it's in near perfect condition. I would definately get under the car and see what kind of setup is going on there as far as tranny/clutch - you'll want to know...

    Shop says they can't locate a crossover pipe for 98 cobra?

    Thanks Randy, I just talked to the guy and was going to bounce that off him, but he said actually once they cleaned the corrosion out of the tube, it was okay and really it was just bad o-rings and the corrosion working the tube away from the engine. Still good to know on that part for...

    Rear Gear Break In Period?

    I gave mine a good 1000 miles, you will get a mixed opinion on this, some say less to none. Biggest thing with mine was to inspect for leaks, I had a bad pinion seal and it would have caused some problems, but I noticed the leak and fixed it....

    Shop says they can't locate a crossover pipe for 98 cobra?

    ohh and MPS said they have the same problem, no solution there...they don't have any in the junkyard...I called my local mustang repair shop and he said he might have one kicking around, but would have to look - but he said welding it may not be a bad solution given the cirsumstances... So I...

    Shop says they can't locate a crossover pipe for 98 cobra?

    I also want to add a little more surrounding the incident... I left work and was driving for about 15 mins, mind you I was 5 mins from home, when I could hear my car making a different exhaust note and the rpms were unsteady - I looked down and saw my engine was HOT, not pegged to the H, but...

    Shop says they can't locate a crossover pipe for 98 cobra?

    So my coolant stopped flowing to my engine on Thursday, so I brought it to the local all in one shop (not mustang or engine shop) and they said that my crossover pipe transfering coolant to the head was rotted out and that was the source of my leak and therefore lack of coolant flow. I told...
