    Rough idle during warm start

    Hi, I have a tiny problem with my car. When I start it up it idles really low and stalls sometimes. This only happens during what I think is a warm start. I usually drive to work in the morning, then to lunch, then back home. roughly 3.5 hours in between starts and stops. It never happens...

    new transmission, torque converter questions

    Hi all, I'm pretty close to forking over the 1795 + 300 core charge for a reinhardt transmission. Just a couple questions: I don't really plan on getting too crazy on the horsepower or anything anytime soon is there an alternative transmission that I can get that would have the "shift kit" and...

    It's crazy question time (manual tranny)

    Do you think one of the new 6 speed ZF 5.4 liter 2wd F250 transmissions will fit on the marks 4.6 liter? I wonder about the gear ratios and wether or not you can shift it quickly, anyone got any ideas on that? I'm thinking there may be issues with extra bulk cause of the pto hookups (or...

    Front Strut Solenoid O Rings

    Hi folks, since changing my drivers side control arms became a 2 part affair I had to remove the solenoid on that front strut to let the air out twice. I think there is a slow leak on the drivers side now and since the struts are only a year old and the leak did not seem to start until after my...

    Front strut rod bushing removal

    Greetings everyone. I have my lower control arm and my strut rod out of my car at the moment. I'm wondering how in the hades do I get the bushings out of the k-member piece. I think it's an inside outside bushing setup but I can't seem to make any progress on splitting the things up to get...

    Easy fix

    Don't you think it's funny when people list cars for sale and when listing the problems they say something like "small leak from oil pressure sender easy fix" Well if it's so easy why don't you just fix the damn thing before you sell the car.

    I need a new radiator, where should I get one?

    I need a new radiator where should I get one? I was going to call Max at Five Star but I figured maybe somebody new of a nice aftermarket one that works good. Someone mentioned a Griffin one, but I would rather not do any welding, I did a bad enough job on my transmission drain plug, kind of...

    No Overdrive

    I cannot shift into overdrive, the o/d off light stays on constantly. It seemed like a problem with the switch at first (like it would kick me out and I would just hit the button or fiddle with the area i reconnected the wires), and I had fixed the switch at one time. So I took the console off...

    Add-On Drain plug

    Check out this drain plug. I torqued to to 21ft lbs and the box said don't torque it more than 25 so I didn't and look what happened to the gasket. Also the small plug doesn't go in any further than what you see, but I imagine that is because it is a pipe thread. Anyways I'm thinking I can...

    Tranny cooler hose routing

    Where's a good place to run my lines for the transmission cooler. I looked at it a little bit before I called it a day. But I didn't really look too close cause my arms were covered in transmission fluid (looking forward to putting the drain plug on). I just figured I'd ask so I knew when it...

    Helm Inc shop manual question

    I order the shop manual, the wiring diagrams and the electical/vacuum troubleshooting manual. Will the shop manual have information on the tranny valve body and such or will I have to order up the $112 powertrain manual? which is the only high dollar manual I didn't order from the helminc.com site.

    Gen1 vs. Gen 2 struts

    Hi, I just ordered a pair of Gen2 struts from five star ford yesterday, I imagine I just made my $20 member fee pay for itself :) but anyway is that a good plan to go with the Gen 2 struts? I thought I may have read that Gen 2 struts are "harder" than Gen 1 struts, like Gen1 struts are more...
