    Transmission/Shifter Problems

    I have an automatic with a TCI streetfighter ratchet shifter. Last week I unintentionally wailed on the rev limiter manually shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Immediately after doing that when it automatically downshifted and was in drive did nothing like as if it were in neutral. I was sure I did some...

    Hissing Noise on hard shift

    I get a brief hissing noise on hard shifts in my automatic, I've only noticed this since my gears and t-lock install. It sounds like it might be my tires but I'm not sure. Usually I get a tire chirp but every once and a while a hiss, usually from 2nd to 3rd. It sounds like its coming from the...

    Removing the side strip tape

    If I remove the side stripe vinyl what are the odds a faded mark will show up? It's silver... I like the side hash marks and want to put those on instead of the side rocker stripes

    MT ET Street Radials on V6?

    I'm thinking about putting MT street radials on my lightly modded 4.0 V6 just for messing around once a week at the track next summer. Is this too much tire? I can't seem to hook up with my sumitomo htz IIs. Can I ride on these all summer or should I put them on some plain old steel wheels?

    Need help fixing a chip in paint

    I've got a chip on the front of my hood about the width of a quarter. I'm worried it'll rust out. Is there an easy fix or should I bite the bullet and pay someone to fix it? I have no experience with this and may be more likely to cause more damage. I saw this on tv and made me think it might...

    Not driving the Stang this winter

    I've driven it the past two winters and fortunately the underside looks good, but I'm not going to take it out this time. Anything I should do to prepare it? It's going to sit in my drive way.

    My new Motive 3.73s whine

    I just got them professionally done yesterday, car runs great, but they whine on light throttle. I'm reading up now that a lot of motive gears are noisy. Can I expect the whine to fade after riding on them a bit or should I just get used to the sound?

    BBK 70mm Throttle Body Whistle

    I hear the BBK throttle body whistles, anyone have one that does? It seems like that would sound cool but probably would just indicate unnecessary turbulence. I'm looking to get a throttle body installed as well as a spacer on my 4.0

    New from Tonawanda

    Hello, heard about this site from a guy I used to go school with, thought I'd check it out. I've got an 06 4.0 with a couple of basic mods, CAI and dual exhaust conversion and tune. Hoping to learn the best mods from the sixers on here!
