Time 2 kill an old issue and post
TAPPING and KnockingCOMING FROM ENGINE - weight on flywheel hitting flexplate cause it was bent. Also bushing in torque converter worn, causing it to slip and knock, Ford aware of defect and redesigned a new one.
TRANMISSION SLIPPING - removed and dropped off at Ford this morning for High Performance rebuild. Using synthetic fluid and extra heavy duty cooler, as well as kevlar od band, shift kit and red clutches, and hd seals etc and painting
REAR MAIN OIL SEAL LEAKING - removed with flat head and hammer, oiled new one and tapped in with rubber seal tool
LOST OF 50 HORSEPOWER LIKE FEELING - FUEL FILTER BAD, EVEN THOUGH PRESSURE FINE COLD - Replaced
NEW DUAL FLOWMASTER EXHAUST - ready to instal , getting ceramic coating by me as well as undercoating entire under carrage
OIL CHANGE - done, motorcraft oil, motorcraft filter, 10w 40 for summer heat. Yeah I was in the mood,
time 4 a cold bear !

RE: Time 2 kill an old issue and post
get a real camera lol.. cell phone pics just dont work
if the flywheel was bent the car probably wouldnt start
definitely wouldnt make a tapping sound either.. it would just grind and sound horrible
ur lifters are probably hitting

RE: Time 2 kill an old issue and post
my post said nothing about a bent flywheel
its not a cell phone its a cheap $6 digital camera. I know the pics suck and I need a new camera, but id rather put the money in my mustang anyday(gas tank
!
u know how many hoes turn their head and stare at this thing ! , its already attempted to be stole twice in one year, and everone wants to buy, I say no she's a keeper/ the 5.0 is a very potent motor, and i hang with the common big dogs all day long for thousands less, what can i say.
No rust, NEW REAR END. NEW TRANS, NEW ENGINE, NEW PAINT, after i do the new interior, its a new car! Damn this car feels so good to drive around town, and plenty of mustangs around here.
what do you guys think

RE: Time 2 kill an old issue and post
if i get pissed at a car like this one did when I first got it, ill just tear it down to the body and redo all the mechanicals, sand blast to metal and primer for paint later, so I have no more worries.
As a mechanic over the years ive found its better to hit these cars HARD and show em ur muscle, I also decided to use ONLY TOP QUALITY RACING ROL OR FELPRO GAKETS. And ive decided, the only reason I want to be under this car is for a OIL CHANGE only.
I like how the guy at the exhaust shop used vise grips on my passenger o2 sensor body, bangin it all up cause he didnt have the right tool and patience. bastard[:@] , I bet moisture creeps in there
Ford just called, they started rebuild, might be done by this afternoon or monday.Yes I made the appointment and spoke with the mechanic IN PERSON, I told him its hell getting that trans out, so dont screw it up, and TAKE UR TIME, IM IN NO HURRY, u dont want them to be rushed. When they ask you' how fast do you need your car or trans back', tell them your in no hurry, if not, ive seen mechanics, tear the trans down replace whats bad, not overhaul the trans , clean it etc, then pressure test and give it back or instal [X(]
also , always ask the manger if they are busy NOT THE SERVICE WRITER, he will always to you they ARE NOT, cause he is commision PAID, where the manger has to put up with alot of problems when they are busy.
They tore mine down to the case, hot tanked it for 2 hours and inspected case, it passed. Clutches, Bands, Seals,Shift Kit, O-Rings (master rebuild) and Gaskets getting replaced, no hard parts bad, except torque converter. Pump in good shape, as well as shafts
