    Temporary half-grenaded tranny fix

    Mmm, I'd really love to have the car around for another few hundred odometer clicks, but the township is all over my ass for the excessive amount of cars we have right now. Not to mention that the car hasn't had it's second 60k, if any at all. Besides, that $200 or so should go toward fixing...

    Temporary half-grenaded tranny fix

    Alright, you all have convinced me. I'd thought that the worst case scenario was that I'd totally grenade the trannny but I remember now that it could cause a fire as well. It made me think about all the burned out SHO's I see at the junkyard. Looks like I'll leave the SHO parked and post it...

    Temporary half-grenaded tranny fix

    That's kinda the thing, I'd like to fix the car right, but I've got too many cars around here yway. Not to mention that with school and work right now I really don't have time to pull the car apart. I guess I'll just have to try it and see.

    Temporary half-grenaded tranny fix

    Way back, almost a year ago I stopped driving my 92 MTX because of a diff pin half-grenading my tranny. I've taken the car out about three times since then to make sure everything still works, and other than some surface rust on the rotors and maybe a noisy gearbox, it's fine. My '85 T-bird...

    Part or Sell?

    As some of you may have read, my SHO went Boom a while back. Diff pin through the transfer case, you know. So right now my question is should I try and fix this car and sell it? The car has 120k... assumedly no 60k's have been done. The car has some very bad rust that's hidden under the...

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    Well... I've been knows to do the occasional burnout... and I'm positive the previous owner did some. But yeah, I hadn't driven it hard all day... and then SHO Boom.

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    Anyone on here bought a junkyard/used tranny? Care to share thier experience? What did it cost? How long to install? A new clutch absoloutly neccessary? It's winter and snowy and miserable here and the SHO is my only car and I need to get something figured out.

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    Well... after searching through some other posts I'm almost completely sure that it's a diff pin. Closer inspection will tell for sure. I read that several times and thought "that'll never happen to me" heh, I was so wrong. I think the previous owner beat on this car a little too much. Hell...

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    Well, I put some cardboard underneath it then pulled it out later and looked and it looked like the mystery fluid had dripped in 3 or 4 different places and then ran down hill a little bit. Tried to smell it and doesn't smell like any kinda oil to me anyway. Almost had a kerosene-ish smell to...

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    The power steering idea was something I thought could be a possibility too, but I didn't think it would've caused such a noise. If this is the end of my tranny then where could I look to get one and how much am I gonna spend? Being this winter and cold and it being that I have about $300 to my...

    Clunk, Clutch and oil leakage...

    All three of those things happened within a ten minute span today. I was cruisin' along in 3rd or 4th gear and all of a sudden I hear/feel a huge huge clunk, I don't even know what to compare it to... maybe the motor stalling at 40 - 50 mph with the car in gear. My first thought is maybe it's...

    Symptoms of a bad battery?

    Alright, sounds good. It's a motorcraft battery, so God only knows if it's the original battery or whatever. Methinks this is the case because I've never seen motorcraft batteries for sale anywhere. Anyway, I'll go have it tested, maybe if I'm lucky the Interstate battery out of my Cougar...

    Symptoms of a bad battery?

    Ok, as some of you might've read earlier I replaced the alt in my car not too long ago and occassionally I experience slow cranking and even a dead battery (not totally, but enough that the car won't start). Now I'm pretty sure the alt is still good because I don't notice any dimming lights...

    Speedometer

    My speedometer bounces only a little bit and does it through the whole range and only when it's cold. Also when it's cold it reads much higher than the car is traveling. I've heard this is a problem with weak spring, I think your problem over 90 mph would be the same thing.

    92 SHO no antenna

    The car should have an electric retractible mast antenna. Not sure how to replace it, I think you can grab it from behind the fender, but maybe complete removal of the fender is neccessary.

    heat doesnt work?!!!!!

    Above all please, please, please run the EATC diagnostics and check the fuses, particularly number 17. It could be something very simple.

    Door Speaker Wiring

    Alright, there's a little round thing between the door and jamb that I assume houses all the wires that go through door jamb, below it there's the little crinkly hose/wire loom thing. Is there a way to get into that and pull at the wires? There's also a big rubber mat thing covering where...
