I just got my new tranny installed last night and hooked up the clutch cable. First time I went to push on the clutch pedal with my hand to test it out, it popped and hit the floor. My guess is it's probably just the stock quadrant being a piece of crap and will probably have to be replaced...

I'm attempting to swap out the tranny in my car right now and am replacing the pilot bearing while everything is out since it came with my clutch kit. The pilot bearing that I got came with the metal sleeve (or retainer) that goes around it. I figured out how to get the bearings out of the...

How much do junkyard T5 transmissons sell for? Looking for a possible junkyard tranny to rebuild and put in my car. My tranny is making some pretty bad whining noises and it's my DD, so I will need something else to rebuild so I can just swap them out. What would I expect to pay for a tranny...

So the other day I got my A/C working on my car by simply reconnecting a broken connector on top of the A/C compressor. It worked fine until just the other day. I went to work with A/C on and when I got off, it was no longer working. So the next day I checked the connector again and it's...

My transmission has always had a small whine to it when in lower gears, but recently it has acquired a much louder whine in every gear and its getting very hard to shift. I noticed that when at idle in neutral, it makes a rattling sound as if it was the throw out bearing going out. When I...

This all started when I noticed my clutch cable starting to feel stretch after about 3-4 months of use. So, I bought a new one and it's only worse now. The transmission doesn't want to shift at all sometimes. If I push in the clutch all the way, it doesn't want to shift unless I release it...

Who makes good aluminum driveshafts that are relatively decent priced? I saw some from Ford Racing for about $230 on 50resto.com. I was looking for something around the $150 range if possible.

Should I be worried? I went for a ride in it and it's a pretty quick car. I'm half embarrased to say it might give the old 5.0 a good run for it's money. What do you guys think?

Does anyone here have good heat in their car? Last two Foxes I've owned have had ****ty heat. My heat isn't very warm at all. I figured maybe the cable wasn't getting pulled over far enough so I took out the controls and disconnected the cable and pulled it all the way out and it's still not...

So a friend of mine heard on a radio station that a town near by me has the lowest gas prices in the nation at $1.96 a gallon. Anyone seen lower?

I was looking at it today thinking about throwing it in the trash since I deleted my smog pump when installing the off road pipe. I read in a post that jrichker said it can make your car smell like gas if you remove it and it also helps richen the fuel mixture when cruising. :shrug: Anyone...

how the **** do you get the remaining piece of it out!? This all started off with installing an H pipe which lead to breaking the header studs which required removal of the headers which required moving the dipstick tube which lead to it just snapping instead of coming out of the block like...

What a ****ing pain in the ass! First off, snapped two studs off the headers. H-pipe fitmet sucks ass so far. I have to take the H-pipe and headers back off now. I gotta drill out the broken studs on the headers and find out how the **** to make the H pipe fit better so that my driver side...

So, I'm planning on installing my BBK-H pipe this week and want to eliminate my smog pump while I'm at it. I'm planning on running the 84.5" short belt. My question is, when I ask for it at the parts store do I just ask for an 84.5" serpentine belt or just see if they have one that long that...

I have a loud popping noise coming from the rear end when taking off in forward or reverse. It will sometimes do it after I shift into 2nd and give it a little gas. It's not the rear end because it did it with the old rear end with 2.73s in it. I was thinking it might be the fact that the...

I replaced my clutch cable when I bought my car last spring. I replaced it with an OEM cable and it worked really well. Well, the other day I removed the rubber isolator thing on the shifter handle and modified it to bolt back up to the shifter. After I finished it up, I took it for a test...

Do they look damaged? I noticed on both sides there is a little bending in the fronts and the passenger side appears to have a crack or separation in front of where the lower control arm mounts. Passenger side. Driver side. I plan on getting full length sub frame connectors next...

When I start driving the car, I get a small squeek behind what sounds like the middle of the dash. Has anyone else had this problem? I know it's hard to guess what it might be, but if someone else has had this problem, what was it that caused the squeeking? I can only hear it when driving...

I think lowering springs might be my next mod, but I don't know if it's in my cheap ass budget yet. First of all, this car is my DD right now, so keep that in mind. I was looking at BBK's specific rate springs because they are $170. I don't want to buy CC plates if I can at all avoid it...
