Spirit AMX SR-4 T-5 swap

<< < (2/3) > >>

eaglefreek:
In my Mustang days, we just ran whatever  Dexron we could get  in the WC T-5's.

carnuck:
Amsoil makes a nice ATF-like oil for modern transmissions that is still yellow metal safe. Look up what they say for the Stang on http://Amsoil.com

TwoEaglesForMe:
I am gonna use regular dexron 3 / mercon oil.  The trans mount is a no go.. will have to figure out another way to secure it another time.  Right now my project is going to be temporarily on hold.  Will be back soon with more pics. 

TwoEaglesForMe:
Well I finally was able to drive it around the block,  but the engine went south on me.  Lots of knocking and burns oil james bond style.  Not sure what I am going to do with it now.  At least the trans shifts smooth and no noises or popping out of gear. Stinks I was looking forward to the summer car show season with it.  I guess I will look for an XJ donor and go injected,  or maybe a 401.  Decisions, decisions.....

carnuck:
Pull the valve cover and see if a pushrod is bent or valve is stuck. Pulling plugs should tell you which one.
