    1st-2nd shifting problem

    What would be the cause of grinding when shifting above 4k from 1st to 2nd on a 96 cobra? I was thinking its the clutch but someone else said it could be the synchros not being lubed properly.

    snow?

    I came across another thread a few pages back and the verdict was an overwhelming NO on getting a cobra if you daily drive it in an area that gets snow. Ive driven my old 93 GT in snow and it wasnt fun but yes doable, but i never went far-Im kinda figuring its not a good idea to get the cobra...

    snow?

    Pretty much the only thing holding me back from getting a 96-98 cobra is the fact that it will be my only car and I live in north jersey where we get our fair share of snow. Anybody have any advice about that? I heard something about bridgestone blizzacks? How do you guys deal with snow besides...

    I need cobra advice

    I need cobra advice

    Im kinda leaning toward 96-98 cobra but whats holding me back is the drift Im getting about serious lack of low end torque and it not being unusual for people putting 4.10s in their daily drivers. Im definitely used to the 5.0 and Im all about low end torque, so in your opinion would the better...

    I need cobra advice

    Im definitely on a limited budget mod-wise until i get out of college in a few years. So would $12,000 give or take get me a faster car now with around or less than 50k miles by going with the 5.0 or 4.6 dohc? does the difference in stock horsepower carry over to actual road performance?

    ¿automatic to manual?

    I'm looking at a 1990 notchback this weekend that was converted from an automatic to a 5speed. Is there anything in particular i should look for? I'd also like some input on what you guys think is most important to look for on used 5.0's in general....?
