Hey everyone: I recently bought an '03 after being out of the Mustang scene several years. On the car I bought, the seller said they had replaced the clutch recently. It works well for the most part, but something about the throwout bearing seems off to me. When I push in on the...

I know..I know..go get a Chilton manual:nice: Back in the day I could tune a 5.0 with the best of them. I'll get this taken care of in a flash.

Hey all: I bought my first Mustang in 5 years a couple weeks ago, a 2003 V6 5spd with 131,000 on it. Over all it's a very solid Mustang and it runs well most of the time. However, going through the gears it seems a little sluggish and down on power. Not sluggish as compared to a V8 but...

Thank you for the suggestions... I seem to specialize in rare problems. I failed to mention that it isn't a pressure leak. It does not *appear* to be dropping fluid any when the engine is warm and running. It only seems to leak when everything cools off. I did double check where it's...

Hey everyone: I've had 9 Mustangs and fortunately never had a PS leak..until now. My newest 'stang drips PS fluid out of the pressure line fitting at the pump. It's not out of the hose, it seeps out at the joint between the pump body and the fitting the line screws into. Of course, it's...

Hey everyone: I recently bought a 2003 Mustang coupe with V6, 5spd and about 131k miles. My car runs good, and there appear to be no issues. However, at around 16-2000 rpms the engine seems "coarse" through the gears. It's smooth at idle and at higher rpms, but right there it just seems...

Hey guys: I have been working on a pretty beat 1989 LX , V8 of course, and I've had my hands full. Dunno if many people have bought a car that needed a little of EVERYTHING, so much so that you wonder how it was even running. I got this one from a longtime mustang shop in Georgia...

Thank you again for sending this, it was a lifesaver. I would highly recommend that anyone doing serious work, especially wiring, pick up the factory manual for the car, from FORD. I will add that I got punked on this problem, haha. The problem turned out to be a headlight switch that was...

Hey guys: I recently picked up an '89 LX 5.0 after being out of the Mustang scene for a few years. It's fairly rough but I got it cheap. Anyway, I have a dead short on one of the lighting circuits. It had fuse #4 blown already. I stuck in another fuse and it blew as soon as I inserted...

Hey guys... It's been a few years...so can someone remind me how to plug and play an aftermarket stereo into a 93 that has the amp under the seat? I know the amp won't be used any longer..I'm just trying to recall where the harness adaptor plugs in. Thanks..

Hey guys: I recently picked up a clean'93 Calypso hatch that has been sitting several years. I got it running after repairing the starter and the trans has some issues: It goes in gear fine and doesn't slip in any gear. But, it shifts to 2nd very quickly, then downshifts back to first...

Hey guys... We just finished installing a new C4 in my friend's '86 coupe and we have issues. We have reverse, but no drive.None at all.Doesn't even try. Reverse engages immediately, but drive is simply not there. This is supposed to be a low-mileage rebuild with good parts, cheetah...

One of my friends has a '93 Mustang 2.3L and called me yesterday complaining of a dead battery. So I went over there today and checked it out. Got in and the battery was completely totally dead. The battery is about 6 months old btw. I jumped it off with my trusty Isuzu diesel, and it...

My friend is running an '86 Coupe with a 1997 Explorer engine. It has the stock P heads, the smaller of the 2 Trick Flow cams (221 intake/225exhaust.499 in./.510 in.112 LSA), edelbrock RPM, and 625 Demon. We are continuing to test and tune and we think we are leaving power on the table due to...

We are building up a C4 (157T) for my friend's 86 Coupe with the equivalent of a GT40 crate engine. The car is a weekend driver with about 50/50 highway/track time. More engine modifications are in the car's future. Right now it runs high 13's@100 mph through the "freebie" C6. What would like...

Can somebody please tell me a way to fill a T5 from under the car? Don't say use those POS siphon pumps..they aren't worth a CRAP because they have to be above the object you are filling. Thanks.

I would appreciate it if anyone would care to share tips on getting the passenger side long-tube into place on a fox-body.I have the starter off, the engine jacked up as far as it goes and the plugs, wires and everything else out of the way. I though I had read somewhere that MAC's were...

I am so *****ing pissed off right now it's unbelievable :mad: . I have wasted half a day struggling to put a set of flowtech LT headers on my car, only to find the left side doesn't freakin FIT! These things have some stupid arrangement where there are slip tubes, you saw through the flange, etc...

My friend has a 92 GT that was a fairly stout racer in a previously life. It has several upgrades including launch kit, air bags and subframes along with solid lift bars. As a result of many hard launches, the torque boxes have gotten in rough shape. The worst problem is that the bolt holes...

Why don't you pull the rearend out, buy the rebuild kit that has all the bearings and races from Summit for $80.69(SUM-G7819), the gears for $180, and the driveshaft for $160? That's about $420, plus some for supplies and labor, but it gets you a completely NEW rearend, and you don't have to...
