    Tranny fluid change?

    the TR3650 5 speed manual takes ATF, just like an automatic. To change; pull the shift boot and knob off, since it's much easier to fill from above. Under the car on the bottom of the trans you'll see a plug with a square hole in it. This is the one you use to drain. I use a ratchet and...

    Got my stripes on :D

    seems to be very active in places. I like this forum OK. I stop in once in a while, seems to be some good people here. I usually head for S197forum first, lots of action. Some of it a little raunchy, but I don't jump into any of those threads. I belong to the blackmustangclub and their forum...

    Bought a New Challenger - Sorry Ford, Rant Included

    it's one car in your life, drive the Challenger, maybe you'll love it, maybe not. Darned good looking car I think. You can still be a Ford guy and have a Mopar. Funny, most Ford guys also like Mopars, but never, ever, ever are they also chevy guys, weird. I love the new Challenger, as long as...

    Cold air Intake for 2006

    yes, but you need the bigger air volume from a good cai to take advantage of a tune. A good cai without a tune will throw a lean cel. JLT and CnL seem to be the best for horsepower gains with canned tunes. Even more with a dyno tune.

    want a 2005+ v6 to put my 5.0 in is a v6 body much different than a gt?

    sounds fun, sounds like a logistical nightmare if you ever plan on driving it on the street.

    Annual Midnight Motorsports Sport Drive 2010.

    looks like fun. Will there be <gasp> [cough] {spit} Chevrolets there (ugh) ? Haha, JK. I'll put this on the calender of things to try to do. Looks like a fun route with lots of scenery.

    Buying a tuner

    isn't that with all the parts you buy from them ? Or any part you buy anywhere ? I understood if you buy a tuner AND your parts they'll send you updated tunes for free.

    Buying a tuner

    the more expensive tuners don't tune more or better, they just allow you to see more information and adjust more parameters yourself. If you're taking the car to a dyno for a tune you'll have more adjustability with the better tuner. If you're just going to slap on a cai and run a canned tune...

    Bullitt or '11 5.0

    depends on what you want. $10,000 in upgrades will make a heck of a car and defintely a 5.0 beater. Bullitt is limited production so it will always have a little edge in resale. I don't like the 2010-11 body style as much as the 05-09, but that's purely subjective. I'd buy the Bullitt, spend...

    How do you make your loved ones understand...

    I've always loved cars. I've drag raced cars and bikes. Moto-crossed, road raced bikes and cars. Had show cars, street cars, you name it. So a couple years ago when we were looking for a car for my wife I steered her towards a new Mustang. She's had 1 nice street car, but never really was...

    Intermittent grinding in rear

    you can do a search on this, but for the trans fluid there is a lot of info that said Ford used the incorrect fluid, and incorrect amount for the ATF that is used in the TR3650. Calls for 3.8 and should be 3.2. And Ford used Mobil 1 ATF and it should be Mercon III. The 3 isn't available anymore...

    New owner - a few questions

    save your money on the strut tower brace, you don't need it. Some good track pads will help your brakes immensely until you decide you want a big brake kit. When you start going more than 1 1/2" of drop you'll need to think about an adj panhard bar and adj upper, or lower control arms in the...

    Never thought I'd ask about this...

    obviously it's easier to swap the other way, but you'll need a trans, the flexplate, the ecm, pedals and maybe another part or two. The driveshafts are the same IIRC, you'll need a shifter obviously but I think that's about it. depending on labor the whole thing should be a couple grand-ish...

    my 5.0 finally came in after almost 2.5 months!

    definitely the right color for that body style. The white really makes that car look good, and I don't normally like the new style as well. But it sure looks good in white, congrats !
