    idler pulley snapped off doing a power slide u-turn

    Thread locker didn't do it, didn't cause it to snap as it sounds like it just worked loose You were already having issues tightening the bolt you said, so you had pulled the threads out by over torqueing. That material is dried thread locker. Thread locker is not a glue substitute for sound...

    Light blue smoke

    Our '08 does it sometimes as do our Mercury GMarq and a '95 T-bird .... just some hot oil seeped past the guides last shut down.

    Clutch rattle

    The only rattles I have had was: 1) shifter rattle in our Hurst due to slack clearance in the ball the shift lever pivots by. I slathered a dose of Valvoline Ford spec grey wheel bearing grease with moly on top of the ball at the lower end under the two boots, then a piece of thin plastic to...

    Clutch job from hell... Help!

    So, where do you rekon the metal come from? If more was in there, it would wreck a new slave if it wrecked the OEM one. OEM had plastic line, so metal likely came from master.

    Broken spark plug in head procedure.

    I have not read all 8 pages here. I have changed these type plugs on my '07 FX4 with 5.4-3valve ... exact same plug construction, only the heat range differed. I did it cool, used Kroil, etc ... I had 6 of the 8 come out well with patience, #2 came out leaving just the lower barrel and broken...

    Ever change tires just because?

    More than once in the last 50 years since I started driving on the roads. Most recently was when I removed the 16x7 Lacy Spokes with 225/60-16 Good Year RSAs to put on 17x7 Sport alloys with new 235/55-17 Good Year RSAs on our Mercury G-M. 16s are in the shed, thinking they'll look good on a...

    Suspension

    Need more weight in the passenger seat. Maybe 2 chicks, or a real man size gal! Seriously, did you bounce it before checking with a measuring tool. Shock "stiction" and suspension bushing "stiction" can hold it a little. Why alignment guys bounce them before checking it.

    MGW Shifter

    Ordered my set yesterday after just recently stumbling upon them in a search a few days ago. I just took a gamble. Just now saw your post after replying above. A year of use, sounds like I'll be pleased then. I don't think you need a blowfish bracket as the mounting of the shifter has to...

    MGW Shifter

    My Hurst rattled until I took the boots off, put a generous amount of simple wheel bearing grease on the top of the ball through which the shift lever extends, then I put a piece of flexible plastic (not a Walmart bag, but that would work) with a hole for the lever on top of grease, then put the...
