Hello; I listened to the video. Afraid i did not hear enough to make a call, at least not what i would consider bad noise. Perhaps those with the same setups can better determine the sounds. A couple of things. One is when teh AC id on some engine management things can happen. The engine may...

North Carolina State Highway Patrol Debuts Fleet of 5.0-liter V8 Ford Mustang GT Pony Cars (msn.com)

Hello; I puzzled over this for a bit. Here is a first take within the context of climate change. Back in the day an aggressive population with an anti-booze agenda upset the nation because they managed to install their agenda into laws. Outside of the pros or cons of alcohol consumption there...

Hello; A new comer to a clutch has a lot of new things to coordinate. If i am casually driving I can be careful enough to not have pressure on the clutch pedal when shifting. if i am pulling hard in say second, third or fourth gear I try to get my foot off the pedal altogether. I do not want the...

Hello; I do agree with your take and likely should have been more clear my comment was about normal driving and while accelerating from a stop to highway speeds. I do, in fact, take my foot off of the clutch as often as i can. Sometimes during shifting in a sequence of gears. Not sure to me...

Hello; I suppose if carjacking is the issue you may be correct. I was thinking in terms of parts wear, in particular the clutch. I also understand the leave an escape route idea. I live in northeastern TN. Most know better than to try to carjack in my area. I and most others have a solution for...

Hello; Good for you. Some pointers for longer clutch and throw out bearing life. 1. When at red lights, stopped for any length of time and other such situations practice putting the transmission into neutral and foot off the clutch. This helps in at least two ways. Keeps the rotating parts from...

Hello; An example of something which has not happened yet (and may not happen) is the speculation a national "climate emergency" is being considered being declared. That is a concerning idea on many fronts. Among my "constant suspicions" to turn a phrase is the implication draconian actions...

Hello; I suggest a look up of recent EPA rules change concerning power plants. In some parts the rules give operators until 2028 to comply so in an absolute sense the thing has not occured. In a real world scenario power companies must scramble to alter infrastructure to be able to be in...

Hello; I have been following some threads centered around tuned used Mustangs. One thread is about many problems a member is having after purchasing an apparently "tuned" car. Another is a member asking if buying a "tuned" Mustang is a good idea. I guess the term tuned need to refer to other...

Hello; Fair enough that you get to self-define your own status with regard to beliefs. My act of offering an unsolicited opinion of your motivations is of questionable value to the discussions. I take exception to the claims of unfounded conspiracy and that I post of things which never will...

Hello; OK, not sure what you are implying by this, but your positions are well known so suspect an anti fossil fuel dig. But lets go with your comment at face value for a bit. That the USA is pumping lots of oil is in spite of the policies and anti fossil fuel actions. Some of the newly...

Hello; I have a question about tunes. So far i have avoided cars with advertised or known tunes. A different thread recently by a member points out a problem. He bought a used Mustang not knowing it had a tune. He reports problems. My question is how do you check for an aftermarket tune?

Electric cars are a Trojan horse for the destruction of driving (msn.com) Hello; interesting and depressing read. I am currently affected by the sorts of changes in the automobile world. The sort of small daily driver 4 banger car with a naturally aspirated engine and a manual is pretty much...

Hello; To the OP, guess your situation sort of boils down to a poorly bleed hydraulic system or some instillation problem with the new parts recently installed. bnightstar gave you a procedure to try for bleeding. I would try that and look for other ideas on bleeding first. good luck

Hello; A hydraulic clutch system can have plenty of fluid and still not be functioning properly. Hello; Read your other post again. Not clear to me what the issue might be. You seem to be saying sometimes you cannot shift out of a gear. Hello; My knowledge apparently is not up to date on the...

Hello; I cannot say specifically for your car but all hydraulic clutch systems i know have a reservoir. That reservoir needs to be mounted higher than the transmission so the fluid can gravity feed to the slave cylinder and master cylinder. To keep the system, compact that reservoir is usually...

Ice age data analysis offers good news for Earth's current climate woes (msn.com) “By analyzing data from the Last Glacial Maximum, the study's results show significant deviations from current warming projections.” ‘The best-case, and most likely estimates, for warming due to doubling CO2...

Hello; No personal opinion on which car is better to have. Would seem $15 K can go a long way to fix/modify any short comings. Car will be a daily driver so modest performance/handling differences ought not to matter so much. Cannot use the full potential of either car on the street. Have a...

Hello; One history occurred a few years ago in other threads. Folks with a particular view point did not like seeing opposing posts to their favored ideology. A number of tactics were used. Some would bait a member into using offensive or restricted language then report so as to get that member...
