Nope you are not the only one. I took the plug out of my Mach 1 to run some wires through there and then decided not to. There was no way I was getting my mitts into position to insert the plug from the engine side. I removed the throttle pedal and put it in from the inside. Easy.
My underpan or belly pan was cracked up by the front brake cooling ducts. I drilled a small hole (~1/8") in the crack where it stopped. This should prevent further crack propagation. I then used black gaffer tape over the crack top and bottom. This method appears to have stabilized the crack...
I was mistaken. I checked the service manual today and I could not find any mention of a recommended time between shutting the engine down and disconnecting the battery. It was likely in my Jeep manual.......or I am just getting old.
I have the service manual on my computer in the garage that I will check later. I believe the manual states to wait at least 2 minutes after shutting down the car before disconnecting the battery. This is because all the electronics require the time to store what they need to store in memory...
I did get it all sorted out. I didn't mean to derail your thread. I just wanted to thank you for your detailed pictures of the lower splitter/upper splitter/belly pan arrangement. Thanks again!
I love the 6 speed manual trans in the Mach. My background is I have only owned manual transmission equipped vehicles since 1976 and I feel the Mach 1 has a great manual trans. Full disclosure - I did purchase a Jeep Gladiator with an auto trans in 2023, so my streak is kaput.
The only...
I was under the driver side dash on my Mach 1 and I noticed a wire harness with a non-protected bundle of wires behind the clutch pedal. The harness is routed so that it is pushed and flexed to lay flat against the firewall when the clutch pedal is depressed. In other words, the clutch pedal...
Yes, as I mentioned above, they refunded me for the second unit. Steeda did not refund me for the first unit I purchased because I didn't get around to installing the first unit until 1 year after purchase. I cannot blame Steeda for that as it is their written refund policy. That is totally...
Unfortunately we, including Steeda and the manufacturer of the unit, could not get it to work in my car. I went back and forth with an engineer at the manufacturer over the course of 2 weeks. We tried several things, but ultimately the board was not recognized by my Mach. I was told by the...

I haven't seen where Raceng has announced they are going out of business. Is there a statement that Raceng is going out of business? I have seen that they discontinued several products which is concerning.
This is truly a "find" with the options and mileage! I agree with you on the Tremec as I never would have ordered/purchased mine without it. I love the Recaro seats and have never missed the heated/cooled seats. You have a very fortunate find. Enjoy it!
I would think it would be difficult to find a used Mach 1 as nicely optioned as this one and with such low mileage. In my opinion, the manual transmission is a plus in these cars. Also cool chassis number with a back story!
When you replace the lower splitter, you may want to check for...
