    Clutch or clutch cable

    My '94 SHO with about 130K is having "tranny issues." I've been told it needs a full clutch, and I've been told that it could be just a stretched cable, and I've been told that it could be the synchros. Here are the symptoms: * Can't go into reverse anymore with the engine running without...

    Clutch Issue

    What did you end up having to do to correct this problem? Full clutch replacement? TOB? Cable adjustment? Good to start hearing that it "may" not be the full tranny needing to be done.

    Clutch Issue

    My 94 MTX is having some type of tranny issue. . .I've been told a bunch of different things. Here are the symptoms: * Very difficult to put the car into gear, takes some pretty good force to push/pull the shifter into gear. * I cannot shift into reverse anymore with the engine running...

    Grinding Clutch

    Last week my clutch started feeling "weird" when all the way in. There is a very light grinding feeling coming through the pedal. It almost feels like the brake pedal when the ABS is engaged. There are no grinding sounds, and I can still shift normally. This only occurs when the clutch...

    A/C Not working

    Got a hold of a 134 gauge, and the system has plenty of pressure. Looking down the front of the engine, there are two wires going into the front of the compressor. Next step is to put 12 volts into the clutch connection to see if it pulls in (I'm assuming this compressor works like every...

    A/C Not working

    Last year my AC would work for about five minutes and then quit. This year there is nothing at all. It doesn't look like the compressor clutch is even pulling in when I kick it on Max AC. 1. Is the clutch alone replaceable? 2. Is it a standard Taurus compressor, or is it a SHO specific...

    Rpm

    Does this play true for a MTX as well? Do I even have a torque converter? I run at about 2700 at 55.

    Difficult to start when warm

    No CE light. CPS is new, fuel filter and pump are relatively new (less than 1 yr). Still have to do 120K on the plugs/wires. Which other sensors could cause this? She usually starts right up after one crank when cold, but when warm there's additional cranking. Not a huge issue, she...

    Difficult to start when warm

    My '94 MTX w/ 125K starts up just fine when cold, but when it's warm I have 5-10 seconds of cranking before the engine actually starts. Any ideas?

    car down for service once again

    Okay. . .I know almost nothing about these cars. . .but the same thing happened to me last summer. Dealership said $600 to change the fuel pump, I said no way I'll do it myself. On a lark I changed the fuel filter (I know, cliche). She ran like a dream for the next three months until I...

    60K Gone wrong

    Okay, so I "completed" the front-end 60K. . . Everything had been put back together, and when I put he key in the ignition there were a couple clicks/thunks, and then nothing. When I walked back around the front, I saw several pieces of the lower timing cover underneath the car, including what...

    Plug well seals & valve cover

    Thanks to everyone for responding so quick. . .I have the kit ordered already. And with all the $$$ I saved, I'll be able to afford my bar tab caused by working on this beast of a car. . .it was definitely meant to be driven, not taken apart.

    Plug well seals & valve cover

    Anyone know whether there are any aftermarked plug well seals & valve cover gasket packages? I just talked to a dealer who wanted $25 for each seal alone! I've done seals & cover gaskets before, and they've always come as a kit (6 seals, 2 gaskets). Please help! My 120K maintenance is...
