When I do pick up an axle, I'm going to take the diff apart and double-check everything, make sure it's kosher, before I install it. As I am absolutely awful when it comes to gearsets, my next question would be a decent gearing for lower-rpm highway travel? I'm at 3k at 80 mph, and that...

mmmmmmm, information... good idea about the brake lines, never thought of that. :D

Thank you, kind sir... Your advice is greatly appreciated. :nice:

Shifter, check... onto my DIS. Any upgrade options for this? might the coil pack off the 94-5 5.0 work? the 4.6? Obviously noone makes an upgrade for the 2.3 coil pack... Also rear ends? could I grab the rear off a 5.0 and slap it in (xcept for the brakes)? any tip/tricks? :shrug:

Thanks a bunch. guys. My shifter is starting to feel like I'm stirring a bowl of gravel, and I need it out like yesterday, lol. After some research, I'm leaning towards the Tri-Ax, But I'ma learn me a bit more first. :lol:

So, I've come to realize that fixing up my '92 is not going to be cheap or easy, so following that vein, I'm looking at cheap bolt-on parts for it. As I've turned my attention to Short-throw shifters, and I know little about them, I'm looking for advice and opinions on which company to go...

Need to replace the pads and rotors, but can't get the Caliper piston to release to change the pads... I'm told it may be a twist-style piston(?) If so, How is this done? Thanks guys! :stupid:

well, i got the cable "Fixed". I used the quotes because the clutch feels odd. Before, as with most mustangs, the clutch was stiff, and now, its soft, almost like a normal clutch. One of the firewall bushings crumbled out while I was toying with the big cable, and we lost the screw holding...

Yep, went and bought the lil bugger, now I just have to worm my huge arms in there and see what I can do with it, lol

UPDATEUPDATEUPDATE my GF (i think im out a Man Card) crawled under the car and found that the 2" clutch cable had snapped, with exactly one thread operating it. easy to buy, but how easy to replace? any tips/tricks to be had?

92 2.3 t-5, went to shift yesterday and the clutch went straight to the floor with no resistance. heard a small snap, then nothing. this is where it gets confusing the clutch assembly I see under the dash doesn't match what Ford has for parts. Now, a few questions... A: If the...

arighty...I shall commence with code-reading.

Im not getting a check engine light on my dash. Could the O2 still be bad w/o a code? noticed today my engine oil is blacker than the Ace of Spades, so Ill need to change that soon, too

I manage to get about 200-230 miles a tank. When driving the highway, I'm in 5th at 2750 for 65mph, and I get these numbers...I don't race the thing, nor do I rev it all that high. I try to keep the RPMs between 1500-2000 at all times, but this doesn't seem to help. I put Lucas oil FI Cleaner...

Realized after a while and doing the math, that I'm only getting about 12-15 MPG out of my 2.3 DP 4... plugs and wires are newer, no codes popping up, runs smooth, ect ect I have noticed that while on the highway, at 65 MPH, I'm running at about 2750 RPM...seems a mite high to me. I don't know...

no, its just that noone spends much time in here. if ur cheap, like me, wrap a flat-head screwdriver in a cloth and pry gently... but Im pretty sure ford makes a tool for that specific purpose

thanks... lol, God, I love my car.

See, that's the part that confuzzes me... the VIN on the DASH matches the title, but nothing else.. Body is a 92, dash (title) is 89, and engine/tranny are 91. :shrug:

...So it turns out that my car has 3 different VIN numbers. The body has one VIN, the dash has ANOTHER VIN, and the Motor and Tranny has a 3RD VIN... \Now, to those that have to title thier car... which VIN IS the DMV supposed to go by? And does the FRAME have a VIN stamp on it? If so...

first, spray down the latch itself with wd-40, where it meets the hood. dollars-to-donuts that'll do it. and if it doesnt, a 1/4 stick of dynamite will help. :lol:
