Seriously IF YOU drive an auto, these mods will make your car awesome! stop what your are doing and get these for your car RIGHT NOW!
So now that I have them in my car, I figure I can now get to put my 2 cents in about them.
Ever since I owned my Mustang, I have made my self a promise that I would do one or two small mods to it every year. Be it new tire/rims, plenum t/b, exhaust, sound system, K&N, extra gauges, etc..
After reading CobraRed_96_GT's thread about the Hammer Shifter, I decided that would be this years mod. It was defintely one of the most time consuming/difficult Jobs for me to do. But it was worth it. I had trouble getting the cable to install right, so after a while I just took it to Mustang Magic and had them fix it. I guess all it took was an extra man to pull of the cable into place and everything in the end worked itself out. SO I was very happy.
I bought a transmission cooler on CobraRed's recommendation, and installed that too. I even put a transmission temp gauge in place so I could see the cooler working. 180 degrees is what I am averaging, If I work the transmission gears up and down while cruising. If I just drive around in the D gear, i average about 150 to 170.
While I was at Mustang Magic ( 2 hour drive), I decided I would get gears. It was kinda pointless for me to drive all the way down there for a transmission cable, and not get performance mods done. So I decided I would get gears! First of all, just so you know, my car is a 2001 Mustang GT, which I bought new in August 2000. It took me 8 years to decide to get the gears! I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WAS THINKING!!! I should have bought this when I first got the car. I got the 3.73 gears and HOLY CRAP my car just accelerates SOOOOOOOOO much faster!
So in closing, if you drive an automatic, GET A FREAKING HAMMER SHIFTER! besides looking cool it is COOL! and get a transmission cooler, I cant tell you how the car is woken up with the ability to "pick" a gear. and DEFINTELY GET GEARS!!!!
Also before anyone says.... Its just an auto.... just dont I got the car before I learned stick! (yea wife taught me )But I love my car so much I cant get rid of it just for the sake of getting a stick.
