    Clutch Fork and TKO 600

    Well thanks for the heads up on the indexing guys. I ordered my fork today. After extensive reading I believe I'm concluding that I don't have an internal transmission problem as people with 2006ish TKO's did. My symptom is not that of a lock out where the gate is not available, it's a grind. I...

    Clutch Fork and TKO 600

    That's an interesting thread over there. Mine doesn't hit a wall as some described, it grinds but I have to de-rev before it will go into gear. I have the Tremec aluminum BH, but I didn't index it. It sounds like I have some more reading to do. If my memory serves me correctly I bought all my...

    Clutch Fork and TKO 600

    Thanks for that! Well I can tell you first hand that I've been using my stock clutch fork since installed, and the only major problem I have is what I mentioned above. A Fox fork is cheap enough to buy so I'll probably order one tonight and compare the two first hand and see what I come up with...

    Clutch Fork and TKO 600

    Hey gang, it has been a while! I pulled my car out of a 2 year storage and am back on the road and looking to fix up some of the little issues that I've been having, one of which has me wondering what exactly the problem may be. Ever since installing my TKO 600 I've had problems with grinding...

    Alternator Bracket Bolts

    I ended up ordering the 3 from Ford, it was like 12 bucks so I didn't care. If the bolts don't come with paperwork saying their dimensions I'll measure them up.

    Alternator Bracket Bolts

    I can certainly wait, and I appreciate you doing that. We got a lucky break with dry roads up here in Michigan, but of course we got more snow so the car is sitting in the garage anyway. It's a good time to get her nice and fixed up before the real spring hits. Thanks again :nice:

    Alternator Bracket Bolts

    I appreciate the reply and effort :nice: It has been long enough now where it's more about his memories than our loss. I now own the original reason I was ever interested in Mustangs in the first place, and every time I set foot in it I'll remember him. Thanks for the thoughts :)

    Alternator Bracket Bolts

    Hey everyone. Unfortunately, I inherited my Dad's 1988 GT because he passed away this past August, and it has been sitting in storage for roughly 5 years. Upon pulling the car out and driving it when the roads were dry one of the bolts holding the alternator bracket to the block broke, one was...

    Ordered New Blower Pulley today.. Then got reckless ticket

    It sucks that you didn't tell him why at the time. It likely wouldn't have made a difference on the outcome, but at least if you stated that to the judge the officer would likely verify and you would have some explanation as to why, but without that any reason you say in court will probably just...

    manual trans for 94 mustang

    I have a TKO 600 in mine and it shifts solid and doesn't give me any grief when I'm slamming through gears. I have no experience with the previously mentioned T-56 Magnum transmission, but that's pretty pricey around $2,800, when you can get the TKO for about $500 less. I suppose it would...

    Pinks All Out in Michigan

    Wish I could have. Working midnights on the weekends pretty much screws up every fun thing I could possibly do on the weekend. It isn't the first time Pinks has been in Michigan so when they come back hopefully I will catch them then.

    Official July 2009 SN of the Month Nomination Thread

    I nominate HISSIN50 While JT may not have the most radical SN in the stables here, he is one of the greatest contributors to our little 94-95 section, and I think that is very deserving of this. His wealth of knowledge has helped me through various problems in the past in both his active...

    Vortech v-3 si VS Paxton novi 1220

    Would I say the install was easy? No, probably not. I would say that with an extra set of hands for a few parts, reading the instructions through many times before beginning the install, and ensuring you have ALL of the tools listed as required for the install can make for a task you can handle...

    Clutch Problem?

    That sounds like a solid plan. Good luck, and I hope you can get this fixed cheaply and quickly.

    Vortech v-3 si VS Paxton novi 1220

    ^^^ Pretty much. You don't NEED a new upper/lower, but you will see better gains with something that isn't stock. Many guys have issues with FMU's. The injectors are a good idea, as well as a MAF is, especially if you plan to make more power down the road. Don't forget about the fuel pump...

    how much psi should i run?

    ??? I assume we are talking just stock shortblock with a modified top end? I keep hearing people say just go for it, but I think some are forgetting the weaker link parts he has. It should be about the purpose of the car, what the driver wants, and how much extra money/time the owner...

    Clutch Problem?

    If you decide to purchase a new IAC make sure you disconnect the negative battery terminal. To speed the process and to clear the KAM I like to pull the headlight switch to drain the residual energy. I suggest you go through that big write-up I copied for you on the first page and re-dial...

    Clutch Problem?

    Now that you've had your clutch replaced, do your specific driveline issues that you mentioned earlier still exist? By this I mean do your RPM's still rise without accelerating the car? It sounds like you have/had two separate issues occuring at the same time. I noticed that you said you...

    how much psi should i run?

    How important is it to you that you keep your motor in one running piece? Do you have the means to rebuild it if something breaks, even catastrophically? That's the question you really should be asking, not how close can I get to the limit. If you can afford the rebuild with better...

    Clutch swap - Wednesday night

    A good way to get through this issue is to hook up the clutch cable to the fork and have you or your buddy get in the car and press and release the clutch pedal while the other is beneath to help push it forward. This is known to easily allow the transmission to go that last bit on. If you're...
