    Mach 1 Picked up my car, few questions

    Hope he didn't put 5 quarts of 5w20 in there.

    Another Zaino question

    I think their (Zaino's) main reasoning to use Dawn is to get remnants of other waxes or sealants off the car before applying Zaino the first time. And I think that is because sealants don't bond well to waxes and blended waxes. Using Dawn one time won't hurt a car. Some folks say using it a...

    New MGW Shifter

    You don't need the stops. Just remove them. The 3650 has internal stops. If you leave them in and don't adjust the correctly you'll damage the trans. Orange handle was a compromise between an extremely short shifter and a longer one. Great shifter. I'd order a gasket set from Cobra Bob for...

    Another Zaino question

    Zaino always seems to recommend washing with Dawn. You can call Sal Zaino and he will explain what he thinks you should do and why. I used Zaino when I first got my Mach, then switched to NXT, but plan on going back to Zaino in the Spring.

    Window clunk

    No. Its got something to do with stops attached to the bottom of the window. For some reason it/they come off. Passenger side is so quiet you can't hear it.

    Hood lifts

    I have them on my stock hood. Perhaps the aftermarket hood he spoke of would not accomodate rivets. They are simple to install. Just measure twice and drill once. MRT has a new style that doesn't require drilling. I believe it uses existing hardware to mount their brackets.

    Window clunk

    I have an 03 Mach1. I have had the dealer fix a clunk caused by the driver's side window when it hits the bottom of its track. They said a 'stop' came loose. Well it did it again and I hate to waste time taking it back to a dealer if the fix is simple. Anyone else ever have this problem? Thanks

    Mach 1 Cobra or Mach 1

    At the time I bought the Mach, I could have bought a new Cobra at the same dealer for $2,500 more. I bought the Mach over the Cobra because I really liked the 69 Mach (and Boss models). The shaker probably did it more than the other features of the car. It I were to do it over again I might...

    Tremec 3650 TSB results

    Had mine done when the car was about a year old or so, maybe around 4,000 miles. Also replaced the clutch quadrant and cable, and installed the MGW shifter. Shifter is great, no clutch issues, trans is still tempermental, slightly better but not perfect...and the car is babied. AARP driver...

    The Porter Cable is top notch. A bit expensive but it should last years and years.

    Washing and waxing

    I use a leaf blower to dry my car off. Thats all I use. Then I'll open doors and trunk and use a towel around the edges. I only have a few fine scratches as a result. Once the car is dry I go over it with a detail spray.

    Detailing Under The Car????

    I plan on it in the Spring, but she's hibernating for a while. Since you cleaned it up so well, Sonus makes a product called MotorKote. Its a sealer that is supposed to put a long lasting protective coating on you engine, undercarriage, wheelwells , etc. I bought some but will wait till I...

    Mach 1 Considering a 04 Mach 1

    To help put it in further perspective, about 6 weeks ago I was considering trading mine in on an 04 Cobra or Lightning. My Mach is an 03. It had 7,000 miles on it. I'm 58 so they know it is not driven hard. Plus, it is immaculate. What did they offer me? $17,000. I said K.M.A. It is a...
