I'm still getting used to the T56. A lot tighter shift pattern than the T45 in my '99 was. My question: Where does everyone's shifter rest when in neutral? On my T45 w/a Pro50 shifter it rested inline w/3rd & 4th. Push to the left or right and the shifter springs pushed the shifter back...

I need to drop the tank to replace the filler hose grommet. While the tank is down I'm thinking I should replace the fuel pump since the car has 143K miles on it. I've heard that a Focus fuel pump is a decent replacement. Any particular year/model of Focus? Any opinions about other fuel pump...

Has anyone used PA Performance's 4G alternator repair kit? My lights continue to flicker. My wife bought me a Cobra radar detector that has a volt meter on it and I'm going from 14.2 - 14.8V. I think 14.8 is a little high so I'm thinking of getting the 4G alternator repair kit. Thanks for...

My motor started ticking a short while ago. First noticed it when at a drive through -- great sound reflector. It's loudest when I listen from the passenger side below the motor so I thought it may be the start of a rod knock. When I listened to it w/my stethoscope I could hear it the loudest...

The driver's side bulb on my rear view mirror went out. Before I start putting pry marks on the mirror I thought I'd ask if anyone knows any tricks. I know if I put any marks on the mirror it will be on the bottom and won't be visible, but I'd like to prevent marks if possible. Thanks in advance.

A friend of mine at work is looking for some spacers for his 04 GT. Anyone have any H&R or Eibach spacers sitting around?

I know this isn't the correct forum for this, but I know there are a lot of knowledgeable guys on here and I was wondering if someone knows something about 5.0 pushrod motors. We were told that this is the last year we can register the boat w/o reporting the engine serial number. We've got a...

I'm guessing my tach has been doing this for quite some time only now it's loud enough to hear over my exhaust & stereo. When I sweep between 2000-2200 rpm, I hear a slight "buzz". Almost like a small bearing flutter. Anyone else ever have this happen? I'm guessing I'll need to take it apart...

Well, after less than 2 yrs, the used ABS unit that I put in started to act up. The ABS light would come on after about 10 min of driving and stay on until the following morning. I didn't want to buy another used one so I checked out CheapABS.com like someone mentioned in the ABS Saga thread...

OK, I've changed the thermostat and the water pump, but the coolant crossover is not budging. Any hints on removing it? I've already taken off the hoses and the two bolts. It looks like there is some black sealant on it. I'm not the original owner so I'm wondering if it's been off before...

If you want them, you pay shipping! :rolling: Actually, I just put some '01+ headlights on and they look so much better. Nice and clear and black on the inside wherever there isn't a reflector. Got them from Steve @ Tousley $70 each + shipping. I should have done this a long time ago. Just...

Who would have though -- we wake up to a white Merry Christmas in Alabama and family in Utah says they have blue skies! I'm almost tempted to take the Cobra out to do some "drifting" since they don't salt here. Sometimes I miss my '91. It was fun in the snow. Merry Christmas everyone!!!

I recently bought an SCT X3/SF3 tuner from American Muscle (do you know we get a discount?) and was wondering what cool things it can do. I loaded the 91 octane tune and it feels stronger, especially in the midrange. Not quite like a pushrod 5.0, but any improvement in the midrange is welcome...

Anyone plan on going? I'm thinking of going on Saturday.

Well, the Cobra is off jack stands! This weekend I finished the A/C by replacing the compressor (I already installed the drier after the system was flushed) and pulled a vacuum on it Saturday evening. I charged it this morning. It's nice to have cold A/C again! It was less than $400 total...

I'm thinking about getting an SCT X3 or SF3 but was wondering if it's worth it on a 99 Cobra w/a CAI and Magnaflow catback. Anyone have good results on a basically stock car? Any thoughts? Thanks!

I noticed some antifreeze on the floor and it looks like I need a new water pump. I have a few questions: 1. Is the water pump like a clutch cable, meaning is the OEM water pump the one to get instead of one from O'Reiillly, Advanced, or vatozone? 2. Advanced says there are two different...

One of the hardware pieces on the bottom of my driver's side door window dropped off. I'm thinking I'll look for a window at a salvage yard and then try to match my tint. Does anyone know for sure if there is or is not any difference in the windows in a vert vs. a coupe? Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has their old, hazy '01+ headlights laying around gathering dust. If you have a pair, let me know how much you want for them. No cracks or water problems please. Thanks.

You pay shipping. I thought I'd post this before taking it to the scrapyard. ~98K miles. The clutch had a slight amount of chatter so resurfacing may not be a bad idea. Pic available upon request.

OK, I checked the wires on each sensor and they're good (I wondered if I overextended them while working on my suspension). I bled the brakes several times. My ABS light was still on so I took it to the Ford dealership. I was told my ABS module wasn't communicating w/their computer. They...

OK, I tried from the top w/a 13mm box and put my 1/2" drive 18" BABB on the open end -- nothing. I tried from the bottom using about 2.5' of extension w/a u-joint on the 13mm socket and my BABB. Nothing! Aren't these things supposed to be torqued to 55 ft*lb? I'm guessing either this tranny...

OK, today I saw a Honda w/a coffee can fart muffler -- literally. It was just the exhaust tip, but too funny nonetheless. The guy had a Folgers can wired to his muffler. Just goes to prove you that Honda drivers have a sense of humor.

So I'm still waiting to receive my new Fidenza Al flywheel -- I already have the '03-'04 clutch & stuff from D&D. I'm getting the same set-up as 2001asp has been raving about (I hope it's good):banana:. So, I was wondering if I need to go get some new flywheel to crank bolts. Does anyone know...

So my TOB is starting to make noises. I'm just wondering how long it took some of you to pull the tranny. I've done the search and know that I should replace the clutch, TOB, pilot bearing, and maybe even an Al flywheel. The only problem is that the funding isn't there right now for a clutch...
