    Shaker 500/1000 problems

    Sorry, but I think you are way off base here. I don't represent anything but ME when I am not at work period. I also work at a ford dealer, and I will certainly express my own opinions on this or any other site. If some ******* cuts me off driving down the street, am I not supposed to yell at...

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    Well, he said 5spd auto, not 6spd, and it also said tranny used in superduty, which is the 5R110. I have no idea about the ZF tranny or how big it is, but I am telling you the the trans tunnel on the mustang is very small, the 5R55S barely fits and it is pretty small.

    07 Cobra information, specs/prices/due date

    Well, I can tell you right now that this part is completely incorrect. There is NO WAY IN HELL the 5R110 will fit in the mustang. The 4R70W that was in the last generation of mustangs won't even fit because the trans tunnel is so small. They would never put the 5R110 in any car period, it...

    Rear end problems with the '05s

    I am not trying to confirm what was posted, but I work at a ford dealer, and FORD has had problems with virtually every rear end they make now. Big issues with the 8.8 irs setup in the 02+ explorers, major noise. Also lots of issues with the new 04 F150 9.75 rear ends. I believe ford has went...

    Manual is better? Ok, but what about..............

    While I am certainly not impressed with the durability of the 5R55W,S,N line of trannies, considering how many I have worked on in explorers. I have NO DOUBT performance will be very impressive with a 3500lb car with good torque and HP like the 05 GT will have.

    5 Speed Automatic Transmission

    I hope you're right, but considering how many 02+ explorers I work on per week for tranny problems, I am sure you can understand my doubts. :nice:

    5 Speed Automatic Transmission

    The trans they are putting in the new mustang is junk. The 5R55W,S,N is in the 02+ explorers. I think the car will run pretty good with the improved ratios in the 5R55, but durability is going to be a joke. I work on tons of these in explorers for numerous problems, from internal band and...

    Mustang PCM

    Well, check this info out. The DY3 is out of a 88 Lincoln Mark VII. DA1 is out of 87 mustang 5.0 5spd. I guess the auto stangs do have a different computer. LINK

    Mustang PCM

    Anybody know what the correct PCM code would be for a 87-88 speed density 5.0 HO? I have heard it is a DA1. Does anybody know what a DY3 came out of? I got an 89 crown vic that I am doing the 5.0HO swap, and I need the right SD pcm to make it work. Looking at a couple on Ebay, found a...

    92 Mustang 5.0HO in 89 Crown Vic

    Funny you say that(Ghetto solution), because that is what I was going to do originally. But I kind of decided that. 1. Gas mileage is going to SUCK going that route. 2. I still have a lack of power, probably because of what you are saying, plus decreased timing because of reduce vac to the...

    92 Mustang 5.0HO in 89 Crown Vic

    I just recently rebuilt a 92 HO 5.0 out of a 92 Mustang and dropped it in an 89 Ford Crown Vic that had a NON HO 5.0. This is just the longblock. The lower and upper intake are off the crown vic, as well as injectors,egr spacer,tb, etc. Obviously I know the HO has a different firing order...

    Overdrive slipping/surging

    Dr Tranny? Never heard of it. I try to stay away from additives, Usually if the shudder isn't to bad, you can just pull the rubber plug at the bottom of the bellhousing and turn the engine over until you find the drain plug in the converter. Drain the converter, and then drop the pan and...

    Overdrive slipping/surging

    I am having a hard time understanding what you are trying to say. The AODE will shift into 3rd gear, then it will usually engage the Torque converter clutch, then it will shift into 4th or OD, then engage the TCC again. When the TCC is engaged you have a solid connection between the...

    Coolant Temperature, does this sound right....

    There is nothing wrong with your car, you just need to get an EEC tuner or a chip and have the temp the fan comes on adjusted. I have an EEC tuner and my fan comes on at 190, on the factory gauge my car never gets past the "N" in normal.

    Trival manual tranny question?

    I work at a ford dealer, I work on transmissions for a living. I am well aware of the type of clutch the mustang uses, it is not hydraulic. Every manual trans mustangs since atleast 1979 has used a cable operated clutch. :nice:

    Trival manual tranny question?

    Where did you guys hear hydraulic? Sources please. I have heard they are using the same 3650 trans, if they are going hydraulic this would require a new bellhousing for the trans. I know the cable system has its faults, but ford already uses hydraulic systems on everything else, and atleast...

    03 Cobra block, same as 99-04GT?

    Just wondering is the 03 Cobra block the same as the iron 2 valve GT block? Does the 03 cobra have six bolt mains, like the 96-01 or 4 bolt like the GT? Thanks

    Five days ago I rebulid T5 tranny and now I have two problems

    Its almost got to be the flywheel. You could have got a bad Pressure Plate or Clutch disc, these things are balanced too, but I doubt either of them being bad. If you have checked the exhaust over, and your motor and trans mounts(BTW these mounts are stock right, no poly?) are good, and you...

    Five days ago I rebulid T5 tranny and now I have two problems

    I hope your flywheel was packaged right. If you are pretty sure of having the right flywheel, I would go to the exhaust, try unbolting and rebolting the h pipe. Usually with longtube and short H pipe you have no hangers correct? stock they have hanger that attaches to the rear trans mount...
