The honeycomb grill in the bumper? Mine isn't there I don't think, however, I think the bumper has been replaced.

That's good to know. I just thought the compressor was supposed to cycle on and off. My new truck does as did my 2014 Mustang. Doesn't seem to hurt anything I guess but I have to watch the temp gauge. But I read that cooking with the AC on on the 96 cars was a problem from the factory.

Right. It comes on when I turn the air on but it's not cycling on and off. The AC Cools very well but when the air is on the temp gauge stays about three quarter of the way up. Also with the idle, it doesn't idle down normally between shifts. Very slow to idle down. With the air off it runs...

Yea, I know I need to get a set. I do know that when I cycle the AC compressor manually by connecting and disconnecting the paperclip from the wire, pressure goes pretty high on the generic gauge and then back to normal when the compressor is on. Also, I just noticed that the idle is hanging...

96 Cobra I replaced the cycle switch last night as the compressor would not kick on (jumped the wire with a paper clip to make sure it works and it's fine). Turned on the AC and it blows nice and cold. Checked the pressure with one of the freon filler hoses and it's dead center in the green...

I fixed it this weekend. I had put the seal too far forward in the plate allowing oil to leak. I put a new seal (Ford just like the first one) flush with the plate surface and it's fine now. Lesson learned!

Think I should just leave the oil slinger out? I bent it a little last time and that very well may be my problem.

Ok when I put the seal in I put it back as far as it would go and then that allowed the metal ring, I guess the oil slinger to sit flush in the case. What did I do wrong? Should I have removed that plate and put the seal in the plate and left the slinger/ring out? I can't believe I'm going to...

Anyone? I wiped everything off last night. I check it just now and there is oil dripping from the bell housing, but I can't tell if it's coming down from the oil pan or not. I don't think it's blowing back from the oil cooler, plus it just sat all night. I didn't think a rear main would...

Received it the other day but haven't had a chance to install it.

I had to adjust a tail pipe tonight because it was rubbing a tire, and noticed oil everywhere. From the bottom of the bellhousing clear back to the rear transmission mount. I just put a new clutch, TOB, etc. including a new rear main seal. I was sure the seal went in straight and seated all...

Just ordered, but tell me how is this better than just using silicone to seal the shifter? I need to get a replacement shifter boot too.

Good to know. I'll have to get a new one for that. Thanks!

Just finished installing a new clutch, TOB, etc. in my 96 Cobra. The car drives great, but I notice a noise coming from the transmission, primarily in 5th gear. I can't really describe it...it's not a growl or whine...but almost sounds like "white noise" like when a radio station goes off the...

Yea I'm going to put a new one in.

I totally didn't pay attention when I pulled the bell housing from my transmission and pulled out the input shaft seal to replace it. Which was does it go back in? What I mean, does the lip/spring face the back of the car or the front? I feel stupid! LOL

The T56 bearing retainer sleeve is the same as the T45, correct? Mine is broken and I'm looking to buy this one: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dautomotive&field-keywords=t56+retainer&rh=n%3A15684181%2Ck%3At56+retainer Also, there is no gasket made for the bell...

Alright, I got the transmission out. Woo hoo!

No, I didn't get the opportunity to work on it the last couple of evenings. Tonight I plan to use a blunt tip on the air chisel to try to spin off what's left. Then I'll go ahead and remove the transmission and get everything replaced that needs it and work on the stud before I put the...

At some point I want to start adding some goodies, but until now I've just been driving the car and enjoying it (it's pretty well stock except the wheels and tires). My plan was to lower it but this project has stalled that for the time being. Never in my life have I worked three days to get...

Actually I tried hammering on a smaller socket but it wouldn't grip tight enough to turn the nut. I tried to go one size smaller and it just wouldn't hammer on. I also tried a nut extractor, but it wasn't deep enough. Trust me, the air chisel was a last resort.

That's what I thought. Long as the car doesn't fall apart when I take it off I'm good. I'm a pretty decent shadetree mechanic but this one is kicking my butt!

Ok that sounds like a plan if I can ever get to that point. Is this brace different that the single tube brace I've seen on line because it's a convertible?

Yea the bottom nut is off. Think that top stud will come off? I was going to re-thread it when I get the transmission out.

Any help would be appreciated.
