    2002 Key Fob Programming

    this is directly from the online pdf owner's globebox manual (for a 2000 model though, but it should be the exact same way), I just typed it out: "To reprogram the transmitters yourself, place the key in the ignition and turn from LOCK to OFF and cycle between OFF and ON eight times in repaid...

    Time to change trans fluid on manual..

    Ya know, I'm a huge fan of Supertech now.. its mostly rebadged namebrands like vavoline for half the price. There was even an article found in google that tested certain ATF brands and it didn't do bad at all. Well, "it hasn't been changed in forever" isn't hurting it.. cause the recommended...

    Time to change trans fluid on manual..

    well, was it worth it? Probably not, the car didn't feel any different - that's probably a good thing though. It probably done more for me than the car, just to know that it was changed. I used the tube, cause everything was already prepared, and cause I was paranoid about dirt getting in...

    I just got a 05 GT

    Congrats on the purchase. Ford designed the car from pretty much scratch, so the frame, chasis, suspension are all adapted for optimal performance with each component from the very start. The rear suspension is astonishing when compared to our SN95 cars. The interior is definitely a plus, I...

    Time to change trans fluid on manual..

    Well, done draining: didn't start until about 9PM, drained it. Watched the last part of the CC600 race, took off the first few layers of the shifter - too much trouble, so I went to get a tube. There were a few spider webs in it so I washed it out, and let it dry overnight. Now I'm going to...

    Best wax?

    I've used Zaino before, but now I just stick with the $2 plain turtle wax creamy-and-slimy paste. Zaino is definitely better in terms of durability, just a bit more expensive.

    err, so do I have to have the pump or can I just add it through the shifter? Zing! Another one of many peaks of driving a manual Stang! :rlaugh:

    Time to change trans fluid on manual..

    i've actually heard some mixed comments on Syncromesh, some said that it was excellent to use, while others claimed that it could eventually wear down the transmission. I don't know who to believe, but I think the best choice, to be safe, is to stick with the manual and go Mercon, possibly...

    00 White 5spd. Maaco?

    i see, but molding is the same everywhere isnt it? changing the whole quarter panel would cost too much, but there is a wrecked mustang in a local junkyard; however, I cannot seem to be able to disconnect the panel from the car. all it needs are some moldings to fill the bumpity dents and...

    00 White 5spd. Maaco?

    hmm thanks for the replies.. i really don't know any reputable body shops in my area (charlotte, nc), since most of the maintainence were done personally. However, I believe all it needs are some moldings and a layer of paint over the affected area. One of my friends got his DSM repaired at...

    00 White 5spd. Maaco?

    the house is on a high sloped hill, so i was adjusting my seat while letting the car slide down to the road (big mistake), so i pushed the seat a little too upfront and my knee couldnt stretch out because the steering wheel blocked it.. err. dang.. the worst part of this is that the mailbox...

    00 White 5spd. Maaco?

    Well, long story short: as I was backing out of the garage, my leg got caught in the steering wheel hole, and i ended up scrapping along the mailbox. So now theres a gillizon small dents (I tried to pop some back up). I guess it's time to take it to Maaco for molding repair... its the...
