    Bad BDA, no heat

    I've had a bad BDA for a long time now, with the common thumping and full heat issues. In the past week my heat has died all together, all that I can get is cold air. I am assuming the BDA is stuck in a position, is there any way to set the BDA just on the "hot" settings without pulling the...

    SHO runs like a champ!

    I just finished up a front and upper 60k on my 95 sho that has 123,000 miles. The thing runs so well now. I also did the front ball joints, ty rods, and wheel bearings. After an alignment it drove down the road so quietly, so straight, and with so much power. Thanks for everyones help...

    crank position sensor

    I'm doing a front 60k right now, and was wondering where the best place to buy a CPS was? Autozone has one for $89. I don't want to buy from a dealer because I am trying to save some money. How long do these crank sensors usually last? I was thinking about not replacing it at first, but...

    Upper 60K question

    oil on plugs

    There is a lot of oil on my spark plugs, and I have noticed a decrease in gas milage as well as a small decrease in power. Could these things be linked? I have the felpro gasket set with seals, do I also need to use any rtv when putting the new gaskets in? thanks

    diff trouble

    I installed a new stock diff in my tranny. The shim I had from the old diff is a .031+ thousands, and the shim selector tool says I have a gap of .035 thousands. When I put the old shim in with the tool I have a gap of .004 and .005 on the two sides. Is this to much of a gap, will it kill the...

    MTX IV parts?

    Is it true that Ford has discontinued parts for the MTX IV? If so is there anywhere to buy parts for it? Or is the only resort to get a transmission from a junkyard?

    MTX transmission fluid

    What is the correct transmission fluid for a 95 taurus SHO with the MTX IV transmission? I have a Motorcraft full synthetic fluid in there now, and it seems like the gears are making some noise. Should I be using Mercon? I asked 3 ford garages and each gave me a different answer, and one told...

    Need advice!

    I replaced the clutch last month on my 95 MTX SHO, and shortly after I experienced clutch pedal vibrations as well as a wierd sound. The sound was similar to a bearing that is failing, kind of a growling noise. I took the car apart tonight and found that all of the PP bolts are torqued to the...

    Superchip?

    When I bought my 95 SHO about 5 years ago the guy I bought it from gave me a SuperChip for it, however he hadn't installed it. I havn't put it in in the past 5 years because I wasn't sure about it, I know how to install it, and that it plugs in right behind the glove compartment. My question is...

    quick tranny question

    I've removed the starter and CV joints from my 95 MTX. When I spin the half shaft is it supposed to make a clicking noise? I am taking my SHO apart to find a clicking noise (possibly loose PP bolts), but while taking it out I noticed that the half shaft makes a similar noise when spun...

    transmission

    SHO noises OK, so I just replaced the flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, and throw out bearing on my 95 SHO with 111k on it. I recently started hearing a sound coming from the front driverside corner of the enginebay, most likely the transmission, that sounds like the balls of a bearing...
