See the way I look at temps is kind of like how I look at speed. The temp gauge hitting 100 degrees is kind of like going past the 200 mph mark on the speedo. After that point the numbers become exponentially harder to keep surpassing themselves.

Not a prob. I thought I'd post this after having had two different people recently comment to me about the heat inside of this car. 122 degrees seems awfully ridiculous. What if it gets to be 110 outside??! What on earth will I do then besides turning on the a/c and taking the 20% hit or...

Down here in Dallas, Texas it's 96 degrees outside today. I was curious to see how hot it would be inside of the car so I took along with me a pretty accurate small digital thermometer on a drive in and around North Dallas starting at approximately 3:30 in the afternoon. All sun and not a whole...

I've had that hole on the intake tube plugged before. I have an Escort G-Timer (GT2) and the 0-60 mph results were the exact same regardless of having the breather on and the hole or having it capped off. On two launches with basically no spin (just a slight chirp both times) on the same...

Passenger's side is where the catch can goes. A breather goes onto the driver's side cam cover. Here's a pic of my engine for reference...

sick, Sick, SICK!!!! :hail2: :drool:

Drained out the GM Syncromesh this morning and replaced it with three quarts of cheap Wal-Mart Mercon ATF mixed w/ three fluid ounces of GM Syncromesh. I also put the Pro 5.0 back on while I was at it. Just got back from taking the Stang out for a spin to warm everything up and mix up those two...

I've already put in GM Syncromesh and now I have a NASTY grind shifting into second. Put the stock shifter back on and no difference. Only things I did were put a Pro 5.0 on and replace the tranny fluid (with GM syncromesh) The car has had a 1-2 grind for a while although only when cold, but...

What kind/weight fluid comes in a T-45 stock?? What brand/weight of transmission fluid comes in a T-45 stock. I need to know EXACTLY. Also, what weight is GM Syncromesh transmission fluid?? Thanks in advance for any replies. -JJ

My car is a 2000 with a T-45. The TSB IIRC is for the '01 and up's with the 3350 in them.

I'm gonna try changing the fluid once again to some *Thick*, non-synthetic, cheap-a$$ Wal-Mart S***t.. see how that goes and then go from there.

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!! I just put the stock shifter back on and took the car out for a test drive. The 1-2 grind is still happening!!!!!!! :mad: :bang: :( So that rules out the shifter right there. Now the culprit I suspect is the GM Syncromesh transmission fluid change I did along...

Well I took the car out for a spin this morning before work with the stock shifter handle attached to the Pro 5.0 and low and behold... the 1-2 gring is still there F@#$in' A DAMMIT!!!:mad: 1-2 Syncro is pretty bad off I guess. Stock shifter goes back on tonight,:nonono: so we'll see what...

Only problem with the Pro 5.0 is that my T45 has a 1-2 shift grind sometimes, especially when the motor/tranny is still cold. The handle that came with the Pro 5.0 is short as all f***k. So whenever I shift moderately fast above 3000 rpm I get a nasty grind going into second now. So last night I...

Just installed my Pro 5.0 yesterday and I got a quick question. What is that tiny allen wrench adjustment on the side of the base of the shifter?? Thanks in advance for any replies! -JJ

It's an Amflo model from Home Depot. Here's the write-up which inspired me... http://www.omslaw.net/tech/catchcanmod.htm

It is. I was looking for a mini-sized one at the Home Depot but couldn't find any. The larger one was around twenty bucks. It fits tightly in between these two radiator hoses (I think - they get really hot) in the back there. I also bought a shut-off valve too because it looks kinda cool IMO...

Pro-5.0 > Steeda Tri-Ax >,or = UPR Blue Thunder, B&M Ripper (although most expensive).
