    MTX Transmission Questions

    I'm in the same boat as you are...I just had my clutch done and now the tranny is hard to shift into gears 1 through 4. I really have to push/pull ******* the shift lever to get it to go that last little bit. If it doesn't the tranny will jump out of gear when the clutch is released. After...

Still had the noise, pulled the cluster for a second time...

    Steering Problem...

    My SHO had that same squeek.sounds like a dry high pitched squeal when turning the wheels. First I changed the strut bearings only, This did not fix it. Went back in and installed new upper strut mounts...no more squeak!! I found that the rubber mounts had gotten soft from age and were rubbing...

    A.T.C. sensor function ??

    First things first !! I really appreciate all of you taking time to help me. SHOman94, the part number you gave me F1OY-18D376-A should be for a 90/91 Lincoln 3.8L Continental.(If my years behind a Ford/Lincoln parts counter still serves me)Is this part number a direct replacement -or- an...

    A.T.C. sensor function ??

    My question is...does anyone know the exact way the A.T.C temp sensor functions? It is located in the metal coolant tube that runs between the hose off the heater core and the block? By function I mean is it normally closed or open when cold or hot? and which position (closed or open)tells the...

    SHO HEATER

    I agree with "PJToledo". Provided everything under the hood is working like it should. My SHO had only cold air once and it turned out to be electric blend door motor behind the dash was only running in one direction. The fix/replacement of this motor requires pulling of entire dash assembly...

    radiator fan

    For what it's worth, on my '92 SHO, the cooling fan only runs when the car has been sitting at a traffic light or at an idle while parked. The auto position on the a/c control head does not make my fan come on as soon as the button is activated. I would say your car is working fine.

    BAP sensor question...

    From my dealership experience....My SHO like yours has a "BAP" sensor, the tube is not connected to anything and it is meant to be left open to register barometric pressure.(hence the BAP name)Other ford vehicles with a tube connected to the sensor,the sensor is reading manifold absolute...

    Torque Steer

    I can agree with the mention of subframe bushings. My '92 SHO mtx would change lanes on the road when the go pedal was mashed to the floor. I jacked up the car and placed the jack stands under the lower control arms, then when I lowered the floor jack, the front of the subframe wasn't even...

    NO SPARK new coil pack new dis

    You mentioned changing the DIS module ......make sure the two plugs that connect to the module are in all the way and that the terminals inside the plugs are clean and free of corosion. If the plugs are out even 1/8 th of an inch the car will not start.

    Help Diagnose This Squeak

    I experienced a pulsating squeak noise about a year ago, turned out to be the rear hub & bearing unit. The hub would not squeak unless the weight of the car was on the wheels. I replaced r/h side first then after a weekend trip to Parry Sound,Ontario (aprox 800 mi round trip)the left side was...
