I had a 97 Cougar Sport and would get the same shudder when it was time for a fluid change. Make sure you use Mercon V, and you'll also have to change it every 30K miles. A quick-lube place put in the non synthetic Mercon, and it only lasted about 5K before the shudder came back. I replaced it...

I've only done shocks/struts and a Maximum Motorsports panhard bar. I'm really impressed at the difference the panhard bar has made.

Much better than the stock Gatorbacks.

I have the MM panhard bar, and it made a huge difference...and I still have the stock springs.

2002 GT Premium Mineral Grey 5 speed See my sig... Also have BF Goodrich gForce T/A KDWs all around (stock size) and the clear fog lights.

UDTBadkarma-I've had 3.73s for two years now and I love them. 5th gear has plenty of power on the highway now, and I can still do 30-35 mph in 1st gear for those quick jaunts into traffic. The 3650 in the '02GT has a .62 5th gear ratio. Trinity gt - Just curious if you've had the TSB done...

"I replaced both the door and rear speakers in my GT with Pioneer 4-way 6x8s and I can guarantee you there is NOT a full range signal going to those rear speakers." Earl - So if I understand correctly, the Shaker 500 speaker setup consists of: 2 componet 6x8s in the front (4 inch midrange and...

I just did a quick check on themustangsource - actually, the Shaker 500 is a $665 option over the base system in the Deluxe trim...the Shaker 1000 is a whopping $1770 option! wow! Ford hasn't used good speakers in their cars/trucks since...I don't know when they ever did. The base head units...

The component speakers are *not* what is in the older Mach 460 systems. They are what is found in Explorers, Rangers, etc with the 6CD 'audiophile' systems (with subwoofer). They have a 4 inch midrange and 1 inch tweeter, coated paper with rubber surrounds. Not too bad actually, albeit a little...

The rear speakers consist of two 6x8's and two 2 1/2 inch mid ranges. The mid ranges are powered by the head unit, and receive 15W RMS each. They can handle 25W max, i believe. The 6x8's are powered by a separate subwoofer amp in the rear deck. They receive 85W RMS between them. I don't...

21,000 since Aug '02. Daily driver except when they salt the roads.

Are you talking about the dealer in Cranston? A local mechanic in MA recommended them to me as well.

Rubbing compound...about 1500 grit. It was a tip I had picked up on the TCCOA forum a few years ago. I had a 97' Cougar that saw a lot of highway use in the winter when the roads were sanded, and the clear lenses were pitted badly. The rubbing compound cleared up 90% of the "fogginess", enough...

I just ordered a set. Did yours leak, or were you just asking if they do?

Has anyone tried replacing their Mach 460 2 1/2 inch midrange speakers with these Swiss Audio SSM25 units? http://www.swissaudioinc.com/speekers/a_la_Carte.html

Same here - I had 3.73s installed and a dealer couldn't reflash the ECU. I went with a Dallas Mustang SpeedCal. Glad I did - when checking it against measured mile markers, I found the speedometer was off by over 2% from the factory. I was able to bring it in under 0.5% with the SpeedCal...

I found that just driving around normally (not getting on it) with the stock 3.27s, the engine would lug with each upshift. After reading thru tons of reviews and threads of 3.73 vs 4.10s and driving around at what the RPMs for each would be in different gears, and for the way I drive, I chose...

Correction: I was confused by the exploded view of the transmission in the service manual - The 7107 blocking ring is NOT part of the 7124 assembly. The assembly consists of a spring, hub, insert, and sleeve. Also, having looked at what's involved in actually implementing this repair/fix, the...

FWIW, I looked up the Tremec part numbers listed elsewhere in this thread, and on the Mach1 Registry thread linked above, in my 2002 Factory Service Manual. Here's what I found... The 3R3Z 7124BA (1st & 2nd Synchro) is the synchronizer assembly. It appears the same assembly is used for...
