    2008 Mustang Bullitt stuck in Fifth gear

    They said that they have over 20 hours in the repair, but only charged me the original quoted 6 plus parts, so it was not that bad to have the car backup and running. The tech took the locked-up case as a personal challenge. He has been building transitions for 34 years, and this was his first time.

    2008 Mustang Bullitt stuck in Fifth gear

    After a long delay due to medical issues, I now have an answer to what happened. I finally found a shop willing to take a look, since it seems shops no longer want to work on manual transmissions these days. The issue was that the bolt that prevents the transmission from shifting into reverse...

    2008 Mustang Bullitt stuck in Fifth gear

    I was able to get the rear end in the Air. With the clutch in, nothing happens. With the gear shift all the way forward, the car stalls when I let out on the clutch. With the gear shift pulled to the back of the travel about 0.25", the rear tires spin, but I get a traction light, and the car...

    2008 Mustang Bullitt stuck in Fifth gear

    I ran out of time troubleshooting this last night. I was able to separate the in-car gear shifter arm from the linkage arm that attaches to the back of the transmission at the right-angle connection, and the gear shift arm moved freely. I reconnected it, but it was still stuck with no change...

    2008 mustang Bullitt manual transmission I have had the car since new, it now has 34000 miles on it. Took it to the car wash about 10 miles from home, country roads and 2 miles of interstate and did not notice anything out of the ordinary. After the automatic wash I returned straight home and...

    Adding Subframe Connectors - Why not lift them to reverse unibody sag?

    I have the Maier Racing Subframe Connectors and they are VERY strong and attached to the front and rear torque boxes as well as the frame rails. http://www.maierracing.com/pnms2201.html

    2006 GT w/ ProCharger - good deal?

    To me the CEL on is sloppy. Sloppy and FI do not go together. If they care for their car it would have been corrected.

    3.73 gears & speed

    I would not let the dealer install the gears I would look for a speed shop. The dealer does not do a lot of gear swaps and a speed shop should be doing these all the time and it takes some skills to setup gears that will not wine and give you good service life.

    351W Build

    I agree with the numbers you are looking at you could easily do the same thing with a 302 based stoker and have room the 65-66 are a lot tighter than a 67 and above.

    Just got a mustang..couple questions.

    There are glass break sensors in the pod with the map lights that kind of look like speakers behind a grill. Another way to check it role down the windows set the alarm ( press button twice) and stick your head into the car. If it goes off you have the upgraded system. All newer mustangs have...

    Sequential Taillights Question

    I chose the ones that did not sequence and have been very happy but I did think about getting a set with the OEM harness. The aftermarket harness is very well made so no regrets

    OT- MIG Welder Do you have one? I need advice

    the price on the website is the cost to buy the cylinder and with gas the first time and then after that when you exchange it you just pay of the gas. Depending in size it runs about $30. I chose the #4 size as they call it 125cu because it is the largest that you can get refiled or exchanged...

    OT- MIG Welder Do you have one? I need advice

    I used a HF hood at a friend and it seamed slower than mine going both ways could have been me or the welder or all the above. It worked but I am not sure I would want to use it for all my welding as my eyes where very tired at the end of the day and that does not happen with the Hobart unit I...

    Sequential Taillights Question

    The new Webelectric do not sequence the brakes light now I have a set on the Bullitt and like them very much. Good quality and easy install if you don't have the shaker 1000 and then it is not that bad.

    I rechecked and mine was under QC in the 60. My 67 is a very late unit end of Auguest with a 68 roof nuts for shoulder belts and some other 68 stuff that was coming down the line.
