    Is this a good tire deal?

    Thanks, I hadn't thought of that.

    Is this a good tire deal?

    I need a new set of tires for my stock 17x8 rims and I saw an ad for Pepboys selling Hankook Ventus V4 ES 245/45ZR17 for $103 each and buy 3 get one free (mail in rebate). I called them up and all 4 tires with mount and balance will be about $345 after the rebate. Anyone know if these tires...

    Ever wish you still had the stock exhaust still on?

    I'm old (32) and I like my stock exhaust. It's funny how you can see the different stages in your life by looking back at the different exhaust systems. I remember when I first got my '89 GT 11 years ago and I saved up for a Flowmaster cat-back. I remember how excited I was when I was...

    I have never heard of anyone that wasn't happy with any MM part.

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    Stock iron flywheel is about $100. Better safe than sorry.

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    It sounds like they are a bunch of buffoons. Looks like you might have to go with the rebuild, just in case the clutch caused any damage. Make sure you replace the flywheel too, don't just have it resurfaced.

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    It probably is something with the clutch, but the fact it doesn't have a lot of miles on it might indicate that something else might have caused the clutch to start going bad, rather than normal clutch wear. When testing just make sure there is nothing in front of you in case the car lurches...

    2000GT, Need new clutch. Please advise.

    I'm experiancing the same problem on my 2001, but I've got 114K miles on the stock clutch. According to this page from the Ford Workshop Manual, there are several things that can cause clutch chatter and a worn disk isn't one of them. When the disk is worn you will notice it slipping. To test if...

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    I scanned a couple pages from my workshop manual. Apparently the tag location says you definitely have a T45 (as stated in item #8).

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    I have a 2001 with a T-45 (like yours??) and I have the Steeda Tri-Ax and love it. I used to have a 1989 GT and I think the T-5 and T-45 feel very similar when shifting. I had a Pro-5.0 and didn't like it much because of the short handle. I got a longer handle and it felt just like the Tri-Ax...

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    A few years ago when I had a Fox body, I found a guy on Stangnet who rebuilt my T-5 for $100 and did it in a week. You can find a rebuild kit for a T-45 for $175 here: http://www.promotionpowertrain.com/1231590.html If you can find someone who can do it for you it might save you a bundle.

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    I remember hearing that the best way to tell what trans you have is by looking at the drain plug location. I'm not sure what to look for exactly but if you do a quick search on this forum I'm sure you will find it. 10 people can tell you 10 different things, so don't make any decisions until...

    Tranny Issues...Please Help.

    Both the 3650 and T-45 are Tremecs and say Tremec on them. I'm not sure if it's even possible to install the wrong clutch but it's worth looking into.

    Satellite radio install locations

    I hadn't even thought of that. Keeping it hidden would be a nice bonus (especially since I have a convertible). Isn't it difficult to change stations while driving?

    Satellite radio install locations

    I got a Serius satellite StarMate player that I'm going to install in my '01 until I eventually swap out my Mach head-unit. I really don't like having to use the suction cup mounting bracket on the windshield. Has anyone come up with a better place to mount this thing? Maybe with some sort of...

    Info on replacing airbags

    Thanks, that's good to hear. Is there a procedure for testing the module and/or the entire system? I haven't picked up a Chilton's yet, but I'm guessing it probably doesn't give instructions for airbag r&r.

    Info on replacing airbags

    I just picked up a salvaged 2001 GT convertible last week. The car was in a front-end wreck and the airbags were deployed and removed. This is my first Mustang from the post-airbag era, so I'm not sure what's the best way to go about replacing them. EBay has a couple sets going for around...
