    Air conditioner compressor will not cycle off

    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...

    Oil all over the place after clutch install

    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...

    Transmission noise

    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...

    Stupid question regarding input shaft seal

    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

    Question on pulling transmission (*Pic)

    Does this brace need to come off to pull the transmission from my 96 Cobra? I can't see how the transmission will drop down for me to reach the top transmission bolts if I don't remove it since the oil pan is almost touching it.

    H pipe exhaust manifold nut rounded and seized...need help fast!

    I've been working for two days trying to get the transmission pulled from my 96 Cobra to replace the TOB and clutch. It's in my dad's garage so I need to get it done and it's fighting me all the way. The way my H pipe is made the transmission looks like it will clear without removing it, but I...

    Exedy Mach 400

    I need to replace the throwout bearing on my 96 Cobra, and while I'm at it I'll replace the pilot bearing and clutch, as well as rear main seal and transmission rear seal.

    Another throwout bearing question

    I have a 96 Cobra convertible. There has been a slight squeak in the transmission that I assumed was a throwout bearing. Tonight it got much louder, and almost sounds like it's rattling. Here's a video: Here are my questions: 1. When I push lightly on the clutch pedal, I can feel it...

    Thoughts on necessity of CC plates with my setup

    Hi folks, still fairly new to the Cobra scene (96 Cobra convertible) as I've only really had classic Mustangs that needed worked on. Right now, my car is bone stock except 10.5 17" wheels on the rear, and chrome Cobra rims all the way around. My front tires are too narrow for the rims, so I'm...

    Leather seats dry and need reconditioned

    The black leather seats in my Cobra vert are very dry, but not cracked. I know that I need to use a water based cleaner and then get a conditioner, but what would work best? I have a new bottle of Meguires "rich leather" cleaner/conditioner but I'm not sure this will be enough. Any...

    New (to me) Cobra! Questions already!

    Hi folks, just bought my first Cobra. 96 black on black convertible. 1. This spring, I plan on installing Eibach sportline springs. I assume while I'm at it, I should install caster camber plates. I will probably go with the MM version. I assume I'll be able to get the alignment close...
