What did you do to your S550 Mustang today?!

@skinnyb He gave me his oem Mach 1 shifter ball. Screwed right into place. Tremec ball fit directly on MT82.

Not today, but Saturday I installed the Steeda Tri-Ax street shifter and knob. The shifting is much improved combined with the shifter base bushing and transmission mount insert.

I got all three on sale , so for less than $250 the shifter is greatly improved.

Installed the Airaid modular intake tube to complement Garrett IC. Money well spent.

I finally found the time to fix my broken A/C compressor wires. Not sure who decided to run the harness like this but it was pulled way too tight.

Is that a special cable splicing tool? Pretty nifty.

I agree, pretty nifty! It looks like a soldering aid and the OP has soldered the first of two wires. But, it also looks like OP possibly forgot to thread the wires thru pre-cut sections of shrink wrap before soldering? I like to shrink-wrap each wire individually and then possibly an over-wrap on the pair rather than messing with electrical tape. ;)

Yes it is a soldering clamp made by Matco. I lost my other clamp and had to make due with that one. It works in a pinch but the solder feed is a bit gimmicky.

I had heat shrink slid down the wires on the other side of the clamp. I've made that mistake plenty of times. I didn't take pictures of the finished repair, but it was all tucked back into the wire loom after I was done.

Picked up a pair of lightly used FP seats. Along with the RTR/Schroth harness, I have a nice little winter project:

Curious how you came into those seats.

FB Marketplace. Removed at a local Euro speed shop of all places. I was happy to take them off their hands.
