    MGW is in

    Finally got around to putting this shifter in. After forgetting the plastic guide my first time :bang: I got it in and running. The shifts are very short and positive. I can't imagine going back to the stocker after driving with the MGW. Some trivia about my shifter: I bought it used...

    What causes this? I just had the fuel pump replaced with an after market stock style pump... Help! By the way the car runs just fine and has no drive ability problems at all. Thanks, Matt

    Hanging Rev's

    I have an '03 GT 5 speed with about 40,000 miles. While shifting the revs, instead of falling smoothly seem to "blip" at about 1,500 or 2,000 rpms. It is almost like I tap the gas while the clutch is in. It makes the shifts less smooth and is quite annoying. No codes or check engine light...

    What would you do?

    Hi guys: I need some opinions. I currently have 3 cars: A Ranger pickup, a Mustang and a Volvo wagon (for the lady!). I only have 2 parking spots and as a result I need to sell either the truck or the mustang now! I can sell the mustang for about what I owe on the loan, I am upside down...

    Good Mustang Day

    Yesterday I had a great mustang day. I saw a Hertz Shelby parked at one of my customers! 1 of a couple thousand made. Then on my way to see another customer I saw a PJ Edition Saleen down near the Saleen Factory! (Sounds Great!! 400hp/na ftw) 1 of 500 or so. I thought this was just...

    Pulsing Brakes

    Hello everyone: I just have a quick question: I just replaced the pads and had the rotors turned on my '03 gt. The rotors had never been off the car (the washers were still there) but were pulsing. I had them turned at a local machine shop and everything was fine for the first 300 miles...

    Interior parts (where to buy)

    I just removed all of the ghey neon lights that were installed in my mustang (by the previous owner). The only remaining evidence that they were installed is a whole drilled in the plastic part around the shifter. I want to get another one, but I can't find it anywhere. Any suggestions??

    Is racing another mustang...

    Just Practice? ? :shrug: I had a fun time with a '69ish mustang full of teenagers the other day. My wife made sure that we were ahead and "winning" the whole time. As we finished we ended with a series of thumbs up and proclamations of "Nice car"! This got me thinking. Is running another...

    Pinging, Causes?

    Hi guys: I have had a problem with pinging in my 03gt. I have started using 89 octane (California Gas:owned: ) and the problem is mostly gone. The car only pings at the top of third gear, at about 4,500 rpm's and up. :bang: Where do I start to get to the bottom of this? Plugs? Fuel...

    Creaking Steering

    Hi guys: I have a problem with popping and creaking coming from my steering at slow speeds. I expect this is a problem with the rack bushings? Is there something to do other than R&R the bushings? also, are there any tricks to doing this in the driveway? :shrug: Also, at full lock I get...

    What hidden **** have you found in your used Mustang

    While I am a fan of purchasing lightly used cars (1-2 years old and low miles) I was surprised this weekend by quite a site. I knew my mustang had "underglow" lights when I bought it. :owned: I asked the dealer to remove any trace of the system. I expected all was fine until this weekend...

    Sylvania 9145 Bulb for fog lights?

    I just bought these bulbs from Autozone and they don't look right to me... Is the bulb the same for the headlights and the fog's or is it a different part number? Thanks as always for your help, Matt

    PCV valve issues

    Hello everyone: I bought a pcv valve from the Dealer for my 2003 GT (36,000 miles). He said there are 2 options, a heated PCV and a standard. I bought the standard because it is about 1/4 the price. I assumed they were interchangable. I went home to change it and the outlet size is much...
