  1. Transmission fluid check procedure (Tremec 3160)

    Today I went ahead with the transmission fluid check on my Mach 1 with Tremec. I had the fluid fully replaced right at the beginning (now having cca 10k km) at the shop, which later turned out to be not that convincing. So I thought I should give it a try, the procedure is even clearly described...
  2. Billetworkz shifter knob installation

    I got a new ball knob for my shifter from Billetworkz. First it surprised me by coming in two pieces - the steel ball and an aluminium insert. I must have missed that when ordering - thought it would be a single massive piece. I did not care much until I tried to screw the insert into the ball...
  3. Looking for help identifying this pin

    I found this pin after I finished the new shifter install on the driver floor mat. I checked both driver and passenger sides floor lining, the headliner, the console sides, the door lining, etc. but did not find any hole looking for such plug. I know it is not coming from the shifter :), but not...
  4. What is it with all those different wheel well liners pushpins?

    While cleaning the wheels I noticed that I was likely missing two pushpins one in each wheel well liner in the front. (Pics are at the end, on one side the one missing was in front of the wheel/suspension, on the other side it was behind the wheel, I no longer remember which was which though.)...
  5. How to set the jack stands?

    For my first wheel cleanup I got some jack stands locally without really thinking about them much, but then realized I probably should have. The jack stands I got have the "fork" 2" 3/8 wide while my jacking rails (Steeda Full-Length jacking rails) are 2" wide. This would not be a problem if...
  6. Coyote Gen3 cold start engine sound analysis (Mach 1)

    I hope someone could help me with understanding the different sounds I am hearing when listening to the cold start of my Mach 1. EDIT: Just a note to avoid confusion - this is about the engine sound not the exhaust sound. I am including the recording and the infographics below, and just for...
  7. Driveshaft ticking in Mach 1

    I am looking for any comment or advice on my problem and/or my attempt to analyse it :) as I would explain below. After passing the annual check at my Ford dealer, where they changed the engine oil and "adjusted" my shifter (more on that later), and then passing by another Ford shop for getting...
  8. How to clean and detail Mach 1 leather seats and the "leather" interior?

    While I was washing my Mach 1 before season I decided to try some detailing products on the interior and the seats. I never did it before, but took part in a detailing training a year ago, and since the shop which did the training was also selling Chemical Guys products I got few of them then...
  9. Short screeching sound right after the engine start

    I have one sound which I do not remember when it appeared, or if it was there from the beginning (though I do not think so as I remember starting the car the first time at the dealership and hearing only the pure rumble), which manifests right after the engine start, and takes approx. only 1...
  10. Random day/night detection and brightness adjustment

    It happened to me yesterday I was taking a fun drive in the late afternoon. The sun was in full swing, hard longish shadows everywhere, had to wear sunglasses. Maybe 15/20 minutes into the ride, my dashboard and the central console panels suddenly switched to the "night mode", which meant I...
  11. Exact location of the additional coolers?

    After breaking one of the front coolers (right one, or passenger side on LHD), which started leaking a purple-ish oil-ish liquid, I realized that I have no idea what this cooler is for. There are two coolers behind the front vents one on each side, they look symmetrical, but I expect each one...
  12. Driving through water (Mach 1 specifics)

    While reading the owner's supplement for Mach 1 I noticed the section about driving through water: What has caught my attention was the difference about the water level. The owner's manual says: The Mach 1 supplement says (as quoted above): Which I read as the height of the tyres and...
  13. Some thoughts on different differentials

    Being inspired by this thread I decided to give somewhat detailed look to the differences in gear/speed/rpm performance for manual transmission Mach 1 versions. In particular: the "standard" US version, US version with Handling Pack (HP), and EU version, (it could be probably called non-US...
