everything else went together just fine. :-D thanks for the tip though

 

[pwntbywombat]

can someone post a picture of how the shift linkage is suppose to look when it is connected...we cannot figure it out.

 

[Pudmunkie]

Serious?

 

[pwntbywombat]

yeah, i wouldnt have asked if i wasnt serious. the haynes manuel shows the ROD shift only. and a picture of the setup i actually have would be nice

I don't want to see you fail, so here is what a little searching brought up.

You can either cut the bushing flush down or try to remove it.

found this:

About how much that will be removed when you are done:

and these for removing it:

Shifter linkage:

 

[pwntbywombat]

thank you

The last picture is not exactly how the white cable end should look. There is a rubber bushing missing that gives a tighter fit between the cable end and the lever on the trans. If yours looks like that, I recommend buying the new end from Ford for about $12. Your shifter will be pretty sloppy otherwise.

 

[pwntbywombat]

I still have that piece on mine, but thanks for the tip.

 

[pwntbywombat]

ok, so the motor is in. but when i go to crank it over i just get click click click from the starter and nothing. i replaced the starter...any ideas?

dead battery

 

[blu_fuz]

make sure your grounds are all connected to the specific points and the chassis. Trickle charge the battery anyway even if you think it is full charge.

In my efforts to find the problem, i decided to go for solid motor mounts. 33 bucks for 94a liquid urethane off mc mastercar.

and the finished product...

I think your going to be sorry you filled the rear mount with that 94A. I couldn't stand driving the car with both mounts filled with 94A. You feel every engine vibration in the car. I swapped back to a stock rear mount and it was so much smoother. It could be a nice track part though. Swap it in for a track day.

Good info right thee guys!!!

Also i can'd stand the 94A mounts :nonono:

 

[todras]

Only thing I can take is the ES front insert. Hate harsh engine vibration in my hands.

 

[pwntbywombat]

From my friend that drives a SHO with solid motor mounts: "You pampered princess, just go for the 87 or 92 if not the 94a. A little bit of NVH never hurt anyone, not to mention it helps with driveability, it also helps with torque steer, something you guys know nothing about" His words, not mine.

 

[dukeofsho]

Well, he's right. The Tour is a much more balanced car. A Torsen makes it even better.

 

[SVT SNOB]

Good info right thee guys!!!

Also i can'd stand the 94A mounts :nonono:

94A mounts aren't that bad:shrug:. Never bothered me at all when I had mine filled.

ok, well getting away from the motor mounts. i have replaced the starter and battery and i have double checked the wiring. still i hear CLICK CLICK CLICK...HELP!

 

[Beans]

Are your grounds all hooked up? Does the starter click? Or is it the fuse box relay?
