    Clutch Problem

    All, I have a 2007 "base" model V-6 with a 5-speed. Sometimes, on the highway under heavy acceleration, (well, as heavy as a V-6 Mustang can manage) it seems like the clutch is slipping. RPMs go up, but nothing seems to get to the rear wheels. Is this an issue with the clutch itself, or is...

    What are these 2010 -2012 wheels worth?

    I'd guess about $500-600 for the wheels. Not sure about the tires. I'd be interested in them myself if they weren't over a thousand miles away. Shipping would kill the deal. DRW

    Body Shops in NJ for Paint

    We seem to have similar problems. I'm also in Central NJ, and so not very far away. I think we should talk privately and exchange information. DRW

    Bracket to hold up front bumper cover

    All, A while back, I had to remove my front bumper cover. Alas, much of the associated hardware was rusted. A particular problem is a bracket used to for the two bolts in front of each fender well. Both of them are bad. Does anyone know what these are called? It is easier to search for...

    Replace "base" radio/CD, speakers, etc

    Many thanks for the advice. I'm kind-of inclined to go with the OEM-like system if practical. FWIW, I'm actually a classical music fan, (OK, some jazz too) so I don't need earth-shaking bass, but I'm also a lower brass guy, so I want to hear the trombones and tubas. Is there an easy way to...

    Replace "base" radio/CD, speakers, etc

    All, I'm working on a "long term" plan for audio in my '07. I currently have the "base" audio system, not Shaker 500 or 1000. When and if I do this, I'm wondering if I need to replace the door panels with a set from one with the "Shaker" system. (i.e. including the big woofers in the door) If...

    More headlights

    No. At least one was completely rusted out, so it must be replaced. I'm mostly wondering about the material. Some sort of rust resistant material, or at least coated? DRW

    More headlights

    Hi Everyone. Here's an update. Now that we're getting some weather that's cool enough to work outside, I've begun to look at actually putting the new TYC mountings in place. Interesting problem: some of the nuts holding the bumper cover in place are pretty severely rusted. These are the ones...

    4 Door Mustang?

    I will do something out of character, and come to the defense of the Mustang II. I have long been a critic, as it was far too heavy for a "small" car, and Ford had some better, lighter chassis in production. But: Overall the styling was about right. It nicely echoed the earlier Mustangs. It...

    4 Door Mustang?

    Remember when Oldsmobile started to call everything a Cutlass? It diluted the "brand". So, how's Oldsmobile doing today? DRW

    4 Door Mustang?

    I largely agree that it should be called something else, (Ford Torino, maybe??) but the idea of a 4-door Mustang is an old one. Take a look at this old clay model from 1963. DRW

    More headlights

    I looked up the CAPA certification. It seems like a good idea, but I noticed that most of the manufacturers are in Taiwan. Might be better than some of the alternatives, though. Anyhow, the TYC housings are the current front-runners. The Morimoto bulbs seem expensive, and may have to wait for...

    Stock 2007 Automatic 4.0L V6, and I want to install a twin turbo kit, any good manual transmission, and more. Would appreciate thoughts and help!

    If you're looking to make significantly more power, your options for the Cologne V-6 are rather limited. I would think that it would be more practical to go the V-8 route. That said, I have a 4.0 SOHC (the final version of the Cologne V-6) myself, so I've considered what the options might be...
