transmission

I’ve searched about this and most people seem to want to drag race shifting an AOD manually. I simply enjoy holding it in 2nd on country roads to be in that 2-3k rmp range instead of 1k. If I ever downshift its at the right speed to feel smooth, and only one gear at a time, not on the throttle...

Well I'm back with yet another new edge issue! My automatic transmission on my 2001 GT has been having some hard downshifts from OD to 3rd. This typically happens when I'm cruising at 60 and let off the gas to allow the car to slow without braking. I feel a hard clunk as the car shifts down, the...

So I’ve dreaded doing this for a while because I’ve searched far and wide for answers and I’m still left with the same problem. I have a ‘72 Ford Mustang Mach 1, i bought it with a 2v headed Cleveland, FMX, and a 8in rear. It is a true Q-code car so it is supposed to be a 4V cleveland, with a C6...

Hi, new here. I've been looking at doing a T5 transmission swap from my current C4 transmission. The t5 I'm looking at is from 1993 and comes with the bellhousing. I'm just wondering if the bolt pattern on that 93 bellhousing will match/mate directly with the 1971 302 engine or would it require...

Hello! After having my car Dyno tuned with the SCT X4 Tuner, I have noticed a slight fluttering sound coming from the front of my car when in lower RPMS / higher gears. This sound goes away from either being masked by the sound of my engine or just going away completely; when I accelerate...

A couple months back I got a screaming deal on a clean, bone stock 90 LX with tranny issues, so I just went ahead and swapped my T5 for a TKO 600. I watched several videos and read other write-ups before tackling this, but I wanted to add my 2 cents to the mix for others who are contemplating...

Hello all! I pulled my T5 today in preparation for a TKO swap. I've got all the big parts already (bellhousing, clutch, driveshaft) and I'm trying to think of other things I should do while I've got it apart. Planning to do rear main seal, throwout bearing, pilot bearing, clutch fork, and have...

Hey everyone, So the '90 LX 5.0 that I recently picked up had a whole hose of transmission issues with the T5 so I took it apart and have a few new questions. The symptoms were grinding going into every gear, with 1-2 being the worst and had to be perfectly rev-matched to let it into the gear...

Until 1300rpm there is a dragging metal on metal noise in every gear. Sounds like a metal cable dragging against something metal spinning. Noise goes away with higher speed at 1300rpm. No noise cruising above 50mph in 5th for instance at or above 1500 rpm. But there is noise early as every gear...

So I just picked up a 1993 LX last night, it has a T56 with a spec clutch that is not fully engaging. I didn't really "get on it" in the test drive as it was a low mile super clean car. Pedal is all the way out and the fork looks like it has no more room to move. Clutch doesn't fully engage and...

I was going 10-15 mph down an alleyway when I hit a bump I did not see. There was a very solid sounding hit and slight scrape. The next day I was driving and my clutch pedal started to vibrate rapidly in neutral and every gear, getting worse the higher the rpm’s are. I checked underneath the car...

I recently got a brand new 2019 Auto GT. I want to take real good care of it. The manual says to change the trans fluid every 150k miles, but I hear people say they change it every 30k miles. Are these people wasting their money or will this preserve the car? I'm 19 so I will drive it hard at...

hey fellas i’m going to swap my c4 for either a t5 or a 4 speed top loader but i’m stuck between the two. I’m currently running 3.55s and as soon as i hit 65 i’m at 3k rpms so highway gas mileage goes out the window and i don’t want to be cruising at 3-4k. What i’m asking is what is more worth...

I've decided to let a few things go finally. I don't normally sell Fox body stuff at all. But I have a few things I'll never use. First up is AOD transmissions. I have two that came out of driving cars. I've had them for a long time. I'd like to know what they are going for now. Thanks!

Hello all. I have a 1966 with a 302, 4 speed manual. I am doing the T5 swap soon and am debating on using an adapter plate to connect the T5 to the original bell housing, or "upgrading" to the T5 bell housing. Is there any functional benefit to doing this or any negative to not doing it? I plan...

2009 base model. V6 manual trans. So, I started noticing some grinding of gears (all gears. Shifting up) when I shift. If I shift slowly, there is no grind. It just takes a brief pause after I shift out of a gear before I shift into the next gear, and then there is no grind. So, I came to my...

Thanks for taking the time for anyone who does. I’ll cut to the chase. I have a 2003 mustang gt with the 5-speed manual. I just recently replaced my throw out bearing which seemed to go just fine. After the job it drove fine for one whole day, then it became hard to get into gear. Long story...

So I’m rounding 3rd on my 10 year overhaul and rebuild of my 1997 4.6 Mustang GT and having shifting issues. Everything in front of the firewall is brand new. The transmission is the original but worked great before pulling it. It sat for 10 years without fluid, but the openings were...

Hello every one. Just bought a 2001 Cobra. Car needs a clutch. I already bought an Excedy Stage 2 and an SLP loudmouth 2 exhaust. While I have the transmission out what else should I do to the car at the same time? Any suggestions? Tranny mounts? Etc.... Figure while I’m dropping the cats and...

Hello, I just bought a 2005 ford mustang gt automatic, not 2 hrs after buying the car the trans started making harsh noises I pulled over and looked underneath in coolant was coming out, I thinking the coolant line to the trans broke or something? Also is the 03 ford explorer 5r55s compatible...
