    another throwout bearing question

    I am frustrated - I just had a new centerforce dual friction clutch installed with a new pressure plate, t.o.b. and resurfaced flywheel less than 2k miles ago on my 1993 5.0 in my 1970 mustang because the throwout bearing was squeeling. Now the throwout bearing started squeeling again in a few...

    1993 GT a/c clutch is broken - how hard is it to fix?

    My factory air stopped working today - when I looked under the hood and cycled the air conditioner on and off the clutch tried to engage but the rubber part has been split all around the middle section. I was able to spin the center shaft by hand with the engine off and it seems that the...

    loud whine - what could it be?

    93 5.0 almost stock - sounds like p/s pump but I don't think it is - that does make some noise at times too though. Happens all the time - even when not moving or not turning the steering wheel. At idle it is not bad - when revved it gets louder even while sitting still. When the clutch is...

    popping sound when turning sharp left

    What would cause an intermittant pop when turning nearly full over left at low speed. It "feels" like it might be a strut. Would a strut make a pop when turning sometimes or could the steering rack be bad inside? I checked the ball joints and tie rod ends - no "play" and I lubed all grease...

    loose rocker arms cause a sputter?

    AFR heads - roller rockers riding on valve stems crooked?

    I was at a swap meet and looking for aluminum heads and found a deal on some AFR's with 1.7 Crane roller rockers - they looked great but I noticed a wear pattern on the roller rocker tips at the valves where some were exactly in the middle of the roller like I would expect and several were no...

    93 Gt moans when turned left - Posi clutches?

    Why? Just noticed it yesterday turning into a parking lot at 10 mph with no stereo on. This only occurs when turning LEFT on a fairly tight turn - normal turns in the road it does not do it but turning a corner into a parking lot does it. It sounds like it is coming from the rear end - checked...

    Cold air fender kit and heavy rain don't mix!

    I have a cold air kit on my 1993 GT that puts the round 7" or so tall high flow filter inside the fender area. I have NEVER had a problem with this set up until today. I was driving for hours in fairly heavy rain and the car started randomly bucking every so often - sometimes worse than others...

    cam degree ?'s Advance 2* = ? seat of the pants

    I have searched - My E303 w/ 1.7's feels wimpy off idle but comes on strong after several hundred RPM's - I miss the low end pull of the stock cam w/ 1.7's right off idle. I read advancing the E303 cam by as much as 6* will increase low end punch off idle --- BUT how much? What can I expect to...

    I have put some Slick 50 High mileage ATF treatment (thick goo) in my gear case to try to quiet it down but still has this rumbling noise when in neutral with my foot off the clutch and when under power in 2nd and 3rd gear - easy or hard - stays the same - no other gears make noise. Seems to...
