    Even though it's a gen 2 I have still checked the trunk wires and all is well. After I change the light out it will work for about week then it's out again, any ideas?

    seating the torque converter

    I'm finally getting around to putting my car back together, this includes a shiny new torque converter from BOC. I definitely don't want to screw this up and have spend a while reading about it. I pushed the torque converter down the shaft and twisted until there was a click, as I rotated...

    how to unlock the steering without a key?

    The key to my parts car fell off of my keychain. How can I unlock the steering to push it around? I don't mind breaking things.

    easiest way to remove the transmission?

    It's out and sitting in my driveway but it was super difficult to remove. So now I'm curious, what is the right way to do it once everything is unplugged and unbolted? We wrestled with the thing for a good 30 minutes before it was finally free.

    help me get my parts car running

    when I turn the key to accessory nothing happens (no lights, no fuel pump priming) but a click sound, nothing on the dash lights up but the fuel gauge does move. The theft light doesn't seem to come on either. All of the major grounds and power wires seem to be intact, is this just a weird...

    crown vic vs mustang transmission

    Is there a difference? I have been looking around and newer lower mileage crown vic transmissions (not from cop cars) seem to be cheaper than older mustang transmissions. Personally I would rather pay less for something newer and less abused, but I don't see too many mentions of people around...

    will a scangauge show trans temp?

    I have a scangauge but have the trans apart, so I can't check it myself. I figure I might as well put a temp gauge in while I'm in there, unless I don't need to. I've been using the scangauge in my other car and didn't think to check beforehand.

    what stall?

    I've been reading all of the torque converter threads I could find, I'm trying to figure out what would be right for my setup. When gold gets back to $1,900 I plan to cash out and buy some fun things. Right now I only have 4.30s and a trans cooler. I plan on headers, jmod, a high stall...

    polishing gen 2 headlights?

    mine aren't yellow but are plenty foggy, if I rub my fingers across them the clear coat flakes onto my hand they were crystal clear when I got the car... 5 years ago i've had good luck with gen1 headlights but I'm afraid to ruin these any tips or ideas?

    so I raced a gen 1...

    we seemed to be about the same, aside from the fact that my exhaust is back to making an awful smell, even after new o2 sensors a year ago :( might be time to replace the whole exhaust setup :cool:
