Big problems with the gauges! Temperature and alternator gauge peg on hot and 18 when I first turn on the key. Speedometer jumps to 20 mph and the tach goes to 2000 rpm too. This is before the car is even started. Fuel gauge seems normal as does oil pressure but the odometer does not work. Any...

I am heading back to the scrapyard to search their pile of computers. My main goal is a 5 speed computer for my 91 which currently has an automatic computer. Does anyone know the correct code for this computer??? Also any other computers I could pick up? I am up on most of the turbo 2.3...

Local powers that be have decided that my 88Turbocoupe is a threat to public welfare and must go. I did buy it just for parts and and have taken most off. Engine, tranny, computer (LB2), rearend are all safely removed and stored, so my question is this.... What other small parts do I need to...

sorry!!

I finally blew up the motor in my old 85 coupe! I'm suprised it lasted this long. Now for the help. I want to put a turbo motor in it with a 5 speed. I have a complete, running 85 turbo-coupe (5 speed)that is a rust bucket. I also have an 87 tc (auto)that is apart and had the exhaust and...

Gotta give a little back... You guys have help me through a 5 speed swap, heater core replacement, headlight help, tuning help and many other items that have made my 91 vert into a nicer ride. Having just replaced the hinge pins I have a few tips that may help. 1. Buy a carbide burr cutter...

1991 2.3 ain't running right with occasonal check engine lights. Today I read the codes and came up with Vehicle not in park or neutral when testing.. Failure of 3-4 shift solenoid and converter clutch lockup failure. With the 5-speed in it these codes are useless. My question is how do I...

I bought a 91 convertible a while back and put a 5 speed in it. I noticed that the driveshaft I used did not have the dampener on the front yoke. I haven't noticed anything strange in smoothness or drivability...but! I just wonder about the dampeners function. Next is a bit odd. When I got...

I was looking at my latest copy of Grassroots Motorsports and they had an article about a low buck racer challenge. The bizzare swaps and the engineering is amazing. First place was a V8 Ford powered RX-7 and second was a 2.3Turbo MG Midget. Further looking revealed no less than 7 other cars...

Found a 4 cyl head that I could get for near nothing. It is a D6 part number and has round ports. Does this have any value or am I looking at a boat anchor here. My first reaction was that it was a 2000cc head. It is complete and NOS. still has the dealer sticker on the box. Is there a place...

Yes I did a search. I piled into my swap this evening and have a few questions. I heard of a transmission harness that is needed. Where does this harness hook up? All the sites I checked kinda gloss over this saying "install transmission harness". There are a few cars in the local...

Working on a 5 speed swap in my 91 vert, but.... I know the auto drive shaft will not work so will a driveshaft from a 5 speed V8 car work? Also what is the center to center measurement for the 5 speed driveshaft? Also will other cars driveshafts work, such as 86 turbocoupe, or 88 C-3 auto...

I was told that the only diff between the auto and standard driveshaft was the front yoke. I bought a t-5 and ALL the stuff...pedals, flywheel,crossmember..all the stuff on a swap list. I asked for the driveshaft also and when I got it it was torched off a few inches back of the front U joint s...

I spotted 5 2005 mustangs at a local hotel tonight. All had Michigan Manufacturer plates and the VIN on the front windshield. Apparently these were built in February and are out doing road tests and such. This was in Longview, East Texas. Man, these are some tough looking cars...10 year...

Yes I did a search! Today I bought a 91 2.3 vert with the a4ld tranny. The overdrive position on the shifter does not let the car move!! If I go from P to 1,2 or D it works fine..If I go to the OD position, it won't go.. even if I go from OD to 1,2 or D. Park is fine, Shifts fine in D. Any...
