Q: Ford Mustang?
I got a question about my 2005 Ford Mustang (manual). When I accelerate it sounds like it is revving really high but there is no power it does then when I shift from first to second or second to third (like I should be in a lower gear but i shouldnt be). It just started doing this to me a few days ago, I am not sure what the problem is?
A: Slipping clutch. Get it checked out.

Q: Can you remove the oil pan from a 2000 ford mustang without removing the engine?
I've recently busted the oil pan on my ford mustang driving over a curb. The Haynes repair manual dictates to remove the engine and transmission when replacing it. Is that necessary or is there any easier way to fix it.
I've recently busted the oil pan on my ford mustang driving over a curb. The Haynes repair manual dictates to remove the engine and transmission when replacing it. Is that necessary or is there any easier way to fix it.
It's a V6 with manual transmission.
A: If you will notice in the Haynes and Chilton Manuals, the cars are brand new without any corrosion or buggered fasteners. The shops are large, spotless and fully equipped. The guy fixing the car is obviously not worried about getting that particular car back on the road so he can drive it to work or the wife to pick the kids up from school.
Haynes and Chilton Manuals are mechanical pornography as they only illustrate the most superficial aspects of the mechanical relationship you have with your vehicle.
But they can be a good start and provide some specifications.
When I replaced the head gaskets on my Ford Windstar I still had to go online and subscribe to Fords online service manual. This was the real deal. Even though I had both the Chilton and Haynes Manuals, they were almost useless.
I recently replaced the steering rack and all my sources said that I had to unbolt and jack up the sub frame along with breaking apart the exhaust system. After a little examination, I found that I could pull it out through the wheel well easy peasy.
Hopefully you will find an easier way to replace your oil pan as I did with my steering rack..
Q: What should be the first modification to my 1989 ford mustang?
i just purchased a 1989 ford mustang and i am looking to make a first modification to it. i am looking for something fairly easy that i can do myself that i can do with normal tools. it already has bbk headers, bbk throttle body, bbk tb spacer, cold air intake, and pipes. So what can i now do to it that is fairly easy to do that will be on the cheaper side?
A: Couple different ways to tackle this question. Easiest biggest mod you could do yourself would be a Nitrous oxide kit. Biggest bang for the buck and you could install it in about 4-6 hours. If you want to go the all motor way I strongly suggest 3.73 gears. You would not be able to install your self but you would notice the second biggest difference next to the bottle(NOS).
Mass air meter is an easy 5-10 horsepower I recommend C&L 73mm, Oil change to synthetics like many have sugested, K&N filter. Bump timing to 14 degrees. Almost forgot pullys.
Do not go for a dyno tune until you change atleast heads and intake and injectors. 5.0's don't pick up much more HP from a dyno tune when they are pretty close to stock.

Stangnet.com
corral.net
All there sites have great info and starting points.
P.S. My experince involves a 93 convertible with a B&G turbo kit that put down 525 HP to the wheels on the stock short block.
I put down 295 NA
Good Luck

Q: How do I replace the floor in my 1965 Ford Mustang?
I'm restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang. I've stripped it down to a rolling chassis, and in the process discovered that the floor panels are rusted through in several places. I've also discovered evidence that the car had been in a front-end collision. I wanted to do a lot of the body work myself, but now I'm worried that cutting out the entire floor will cause the chassis to bend. I'm also worried that the chassis may already distorted due to the collision. How do I replace the floor without warping the chassis, and how can I be sure that the chassis is straight?
A: check with yearone I believe they sell floor pans, just cut out the old one, clean up the area and have the new pan welded in place.
I think the website is www.yearone.com they have a mustang specific catalog
Q: What is the mpg rating on a stock 1966 Ford Mustang V8?
How many miles per gallon would a stock 1966 Ford Mustang 289ci V8 get? (assuming it is in normal, working conditions, all around)
How reliable would one of these be if regularly maintained?
How good it the 289 V8 engine?
A: well ive owned close to a dozen of these a stock 2 bbl auto should get 14-16 city and 18-22 if it tuned up and running right
hp ratings as follows c-289 2v=200 hp a-289 4v=225 k-4v-271 letter represents code for engine i have personally had a k-code hp 289 and would get 12-14 in town and 16-18 highway now this is normal driving put your foot in it expect less other than a tune up never had any problems think 5.0 or 302 reliable as the day is long 289 is faster revving than the 302 and parts can interchange only real difference is crankshaft i have built many engines using parts from both engines although pre-65 used a different belhousing pattern and you have to use the harmonic balancer and pulleys with the crankshaft it came with
good luck one final note these cars had problematic front suspension so i would advise bracing the shock towers shelby-izing the upper control arms and using an export brace granada brakes will interchange on front giving you inexpensive disc brakes check mustang monthly website for more
Q: Where is a good place to buy a 1965 Ford Mustang online besides ebay motors?
I am from Texas and am looking to buy a 1965 Ford Mustang. I'v checked ebay motors and craigslist. My budget is around $5000. Any tips?
A: You're kind of limiting yourself by just looking online.
Here is a site devoted to Mustangs:
http://www.mustangclassifieds.com/index.php?page=search&cid=10&s_res=AND
As already mentioned, Autotrader.com might have some Mustangs. You can also access many newspaper classifieds online.
You can go to a bookstore and pick up a copy of Hemmings Motor News (a great source for cars and parts).
If you were to expand your search, you can usually find Mustangs at swap meets. Sometimes you'll find a good deal, sometimes not.
Q: Is Ford planning to introduce a completely redesigned Mustang?
I want to buy a Ford Mustang (5th generation, which is the latest one) and I was wondering if I should wait and see if they're gonna introduce a completely redesigned Mustang.
Should I wait or should I buy it?
A: Yes, Ford is planning a redesign for 2010.
They are trying to keep it "top Secret" but as usual the auto enthusiasts have published some 'sneak peek' stuff already.

I wouldn't wait if I were you. I LOVE the 'retro' look of the current body style!
by the way--
Ford is not concerned about meeting the new CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) laws. They already have met some of those standards and have put into place the means to meet future CAFE restrictions.
They have PZEV (Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles=Focus) and Hybrids (Escape now, Fusion next year) and even have the ONLY Hybrid/FlexFuel vehicle in R&D right now with expectations to release soon. They already have more Alternative Fuel Vehicles on the road than any other manufacturer.
And current Mustangs get pretty good gas mileage for the horsepower now
4.0 V6= 210HP
17 City/26 Hwy With Manual
16 City/24 Hwy With Automatic
4.6 V8= 300HP
15 City/23 Hwy With Manual
15 city/22 Hwy With Automatic
Both of the current engines have been previously modified (in other vehicles) to be E85 capable & this could be an option for Ford again in the future if need be to meet CAFE regulations as well
Q: Need help with replacement of 2000 Ford Mustang Engine?
I have a 2000 Ford Mustang and i have a rod knocking and piston slap and i need to rebuild the engine. I am well versed in older pre-1990 technology and i'm wondering what kind of tricky areas/troubles am i looking at, can the engine be taken out from the top or from under the car. Any special tools required. Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.
A: It should be able to come out either way.
The engine and transmission is mounted to the "engine cradle" and can come out as a single unit, That is the way it goes in at the factory. So some prefer this method, but it requires the unbolting of a lot more parts then a lift out.
Q: How do you remove the ignition cylinder on a 1965 Ford Mustang?
I am restoring a 1965 Ford Mustang and I am having a hard time removing the ignition cylinder?
A: To remove the key cylinder you have to turn the key to the accessory position, stick a paperclip into the little pinhole on the face of the key cylinder and then turn the key around a little further in the counter-clockwise direction and it will come out.
