    New Tranny No Go

    There aren't a whole lot of things that would keep a halfshaft stuck in the transmission. Completely warped bearing, maybe, but even that should be replaced with the tranny out anyway. As far as the specialist saying "who knows what could have gotten dmaged inside," I doubt that anything...

    $3295.00 for ATX repair, @#$%^& OUCH!!!

    For my rebuild, the only part that NEEDED to be replaced was the torque converter ($100, I got one **** of a deal, usually ~$250). We took the entire tranny apart, replaced all the normal hard parts cleaned the valve body, put in a Trans-go kit ($50), reassembled and reinstalled. I live...

    $3295.00 for ATX repair, @#$%^& OUCH!!!

    $150 in parts, a few bottles of water and Gatorade, 4 sandwiches, 2 bags of chips and lots of my own labor.

    M62 on a SHO?

    I've done plenty of research into using either the m62 or the m90 (or a whipplecharger for that matter)on a SHO. Actually, it wouldn't be all that hard. Remove the runner tubes (gasp!)and surge tank. Develop a box-type manifold that would mate the the IMRC plate and the blower, use a custom...

    Odd electrical issues with '98 SHO

    A pretty common problem with the Gen3s. The door open/close switch gets dirty. Easiest fix is to clean and lubricated often with some wd40. I'd start there and see if it gets any better. I know that I end up having to do it to mine every 6 mos or so. Ryan Dudek 98 Black Clarkston, MI

    How can the faulty speedo be fixed?

    My 97 speedo was rock solid to 140 or so. Don't know if it would help to swap a computer from an earlier car. The '99s had a different gauge cluster anyway, so I don't know if they'd be any help or not. Ryan Dudek

    What is a good muffler that will give more deep tone and rumble to the V8?

    I've got a sound clip of my car with the Borla Turbo Mufflers (not full Borla catback) on it. Email me privately if you want it. [email protected] Ryan Dudek

    Would a bad cat show up when ford pulled codes from my SHO???

    UDP got me about 1/10 consistantly, so you should be in the neighborhood. I'm hoping for better times this coming season. That 14.900 run had my worst 60' time since I got the UDP put on. Everything has been at 2.1x or better EXCEPT that run. Give me something to strive for still I guess...

    Would a bad cat show up when ford pulled codes from my SHO???

    30miles fewer on a tank of gas isn't necessarily going to be bad cats. Could be just about anything (plugs, fuel filter, dirty air cleaner)but that only works out to 2mpg less. Depending on your area, if they go to a winter gas blend that could have been your change in mileage as well. Should...

    Let's get stupid.. 2.5 duratec similar enough to 3.4?

    Lightning uses an Eaton M-112, not the M90, not sure what the new Cobra uses. To mount an M-90 from a GTP or similar (newer than from Supercoupe, has integrated bypass valve) onto the top of our engines would require about 6" worth of additional clearance. If there were somewhere else to mount...

    V8 cam sprockets & Locktite

    Yes, but is this guy putting together metals that have been covered in oil for a few years? I agree that the proper Loctite can be a great way to permanantly affix metals, but I'd be concerned with using Loctite as a solution on cams that aren't entirely devoid of any contaminants. If thats...

    Blown Infinity Kappa perfect?

    I blew a Perfect 10" running under 300w to it. Just a POS Beta Digital 100 powering it at the time. The 1000w or whatever was a recommended peak, but still.... Harmon Intl. was really good about sending a replacement even though I had purchased it in an ebay auction and not from an authorized...
