    Started running hot all of the sudden...

    I was driving two days ago and I missed a shift and it revved pretty high. Usually the temperature gauge was between 'O' and 'R' in NORMAL, but after revving it that high, it went up to 'A'. So I drove home and it was still running pretty hot, around 'A'. The next day I start it up and drive...

    It's been about a month, 200 miles, after doing the T5 swap on my mustang. All the parts were new, including an HD throwout bearing. Well today it was the first hot day of the year, it was about 82 degrees, and after driving for about a half hour I started hearing a squeak noise everytime I...

    Vibration problems after T5 swap - almost resolved

    Quick re-cap, I had vibration problems over 2000 rpms after doing the T5 swap. This would happen in neutral with the clutch released and the car at a standstill. So here's an update: Took it to a shop, they jacked up the back of the tranny a bit to see if it's anything to do with the...

    Vibration problem after T5 swap... part 3

    Just a recap, after doing the AOD-E to T5 swap, there were vibrations over 2000 rpms. Even just revving the car in neutral at a stand still. I took it to shop because I don't have time to work on it anymore. They took down the T5 and started the car and there were still vibrations. Then they...

    A funny story about my T5 swap misfortune..

    :As some of you may know by now, my AOD-E to T5 swap went well but now the car vibrates above 2000 rpms. So I took it to a transmission shop my friend recommended to me. This shop is a huge shop, they have 30 lifts and had almost 100 cars on the lot that were waiting to be worked on. Anyway when...

    Reverse lights aren't working after T5 swap

    I swapped to a T5 and I just noticed today that the reverse lights aren't working. I remember only plugging two things into the T5, the speedo cable and the neutral safety plug. Is there a back up light harness I missed somewhere? Or is that round plug on the driver's side of the T5 the reverse...

    Vibration problems...

    I just did the transmission swap (AOD-E to T5) and now around 2200+ rpms the car starts vibrating. It does this even when the car is parked so I'm sure it's not the driveshaft. The balancer is fine too. Anyone know what this could be? When we put on the pressure plate we just put it on any...

    Transmission Swap is complete, now some problems...

    Well after 4 days of slow work, we go the transmission swap complete. The AOD-E is out and the T5 is in. Now I have some problems :( 1. It's hard to shift into 2nd, it grinds, and makes noises but then works fine. 2. There is a little vibration when in idle, it sort of goes away and then...

    How to route clutch cable? HELP!

    I need help with routing the clutch cable. I'm doing the AOD-E to T5 swap and I have a steeda adjustable clutch cable. There is a metal bracket on it and I'm not sure where it bolts up. I'm guessing the k-member. Does anyone have any pics? Looking from the front of the car, does the clutch...

    Question about motor mounts...

    My mustang has 106,000 miles, and I'm doing the trans swap and when I took the trans off the engine shakes a lot of it move it with your hand. Is that normal? Also if I don't keep the back end of the tranny jacked up (with the crossmember removed) the engine and tranny tilt back a lot at a steep...

    Crossmember question (AODE-T to T5 swap)

    I'm trying to use the AOD-E crossmember on the T5 and it doesn't line up. The tranny mount bolts seem to be way off the crossmember, they don't even hit the crossmember. What am I doing wrong?

    Putting in a 255 lph fuel pump

    I'm putting in a 255 lph fuel pump in a week along with replacing the leaking gasket for the filler tube. Anyways, I need to know if I need an adjustable fuel pressure regulator once the fuel pump is installed. Will there be higher fuel pressure because of the more powerful pump? Will my car run...

    Show me pics of your lowered stang!

    I'm having a hard time deciding which springs to get for my mustang. I have Koni adjustable shocks and struts and I'm going to wait until I get springs and caster/camber plates before I start installing anything. I'm looking for a drop that won't cause a very harsh ride but will still look...

    Quick question about removing the throttle body..

    I want to remove the throttle body so I can polish the exterior of it, and then I'll be putting it back on. I'm guessing there's a gasket between the throttle body and the intake manifold. Will that gasket still be useable or will I have to throw it away and get a new one?

    Getting my new suspension parts!

    I'm buying a set of Koni adjustable shocks and struts for $175 this weekend. These are the red Koni's and they're made for fox body mustangs but I read that there's no problem with using them on a lowered SN95. Are these good shocks and struts? Better than KYB stuff? Anyway, I'm looking to...

    Bass without subs?!

    I want to get rid of my 12-inch sub and box from my trunk because it's taking up more than half of the trunk. Does anyone have any idea how the bass would sound if I put two 8" midbass drivers in the rear? I figure I'll have to make the speaker holes bigger but Kicker says their midbass speakers...
