Thanks Darren, and congrats brother!
says page not found. Might just be on my end.


Problem must be on your end. Link worked for me and it's the same guide I used to do mine this weekend for the first time.

Get a 10' length of 1/2" OD, 3/8" ID clear tubing from Home Depot for $4.98 (you'll only need about 4 feet), and you'll need a 3/8" wrench with a short 3/8" extension. Take out the plug for the fill plug, remove the drain plug and let the fluid drain. Replace the drain plug. Remove the shift handle and rubber boot and run the tubing through the trans tunnel and into the full hole. 3 bottles (quarts) of Pennzoil Syncromesh ($8.50/each) go in (back off the bottle a little after each squeeze) and then replace the fill plug.

It really is that easy. Total investment of $32. I found it easier than changing the oil.

The Roush Springs and shocks have settled in pretty good with the 19's

Thanks Earl! I wished it was about 1'' lower in the rear. But with the Lca's and relos, it feels much better. I need A arms though, I thought the bumping was the strut mounts, but it's the arms and ball joints popping and cracking:mad::flame:

Cage is all done and painted, one of the doors is complete and hung. Should be out of the chassis shop in the next week or so. Sai hooked me up with some ID1700's which should be here tomorrow and my weldon 6gpm belt drive pump is here, will be time to start working on plumbing and wiring when the car gets home. Can't wait to get it on the scales:

Tried to track down a clunking sound coming from the trunk area.. thought it was a broken baffle in my GT500 muffler, so I took them off and put the Borla Stingers back on.

LOUD NOISES

Goodness. They used to sound super good to me, but now it just sounds like a bunch of muffled drone.. I can't hear the individual V8 exhaust pulses like I could with the GT500's.

Turns out the muffler wasn't the culprit of the rattle either. I'm thinking it could be the adjustable UCA. What a PITA, mustang.

Also put the steeda rear springs back in while I was under there. Has a slight rake now but rides >9000x's better and I don't pucker my butt anytime I see a bridge or a dip in the road.

Also weighed my wheels & tires, which are 59lbs each out back. Sweet mercy.
