  • Manual Transmission Down Shifting Issue

    Hey Zed.

    Thanks for that. Yes I'm still in the Magill area. There's a guy in Glynde called Transteer that I went to. He had some wild cars in the, of particular notice a 67 GT500 Eleanor.

    Hope you don't mind if I send you a PM just to ask a couple of questions.

    Thanks for reaching out.

  • Manual Transmission Down Shifting Issue

    Hi all.

    An update on this issue. After nearly two years I finally got the car in to the transmission guy here to have an evaluation as I couldn't deal with it any longer. He gave it a drive and really struggled and wondered how I could even drive the kar. We got it back to his shed and he sprayed WD40 into the gear selector area and kept changing gears, more spray and more gear changing. Now it's like butter, easy to change and hit every gear both up and down, better than it ever was since I've had the kar. So now it's booked in to find out what the issue is. So at least we're moving forward.

    The car doesn't pop out of gear at any stage. Sometimes I can get it in from third to second, but most times it's a battle. Have you got a photo of the blocker ring?
    If the transmission gets opened to replace the blocker ring, do I need any other components such as gasket kits or anything?

    Regards,

  • Manual Transmission Down Shifting Issue

    Hi all.

    I'm having troubles down shifting from third to second, so I assume my synchros are worn.

    Being a non-gearhead in this respect, would someone please explain if I should do a rebuild of the entire transmission or if I can just replace the syncro for this gear alone?

    Also a list of parts and where to get them would be fantastic. Obviously I want quality components not some pricey low quality parts.

    Thank you or any input.

    Kind regards,

    René

    There are a number of flags that are noticeable in the pictures.

    Hi Fred, been a while! Hope you're well.

    Would you mind specifying the "flags" either here or in a pm?

    I'm not buying the car (as stunning as it is, my personal perfect colour combo), but I'd like to know for my own education.

    Thanks.

    Kind regards,

  • Back Again....Again....Again

    Hi Guys.

    This is René from Australia here. I just found the new site after doing some searches and stumbling on the address from th Vintage Mustang Forum.

    Thanks to the admins for getting this site up and running again, I missed it and was worried all of that golden info might have been lost.

    All the best moving forward.

    René aka pony65k

    PS May I make a suggestion and I'm not sure if this is possible, but if this occurs again, maybe send out an email when you have a new home since you have all our email addresses?

    Hey, there's plenty of us Aussie's who have bought these K's from the States. The numbers are definitely rising over here and our strong Aussie dollar really helps.

    Hi Dave.

    Hey Rene -


    Good to see that you are still around as well. I hope your K car has continued to do well for you. Everything is good for me but I have decided to slim down a little (cars that is) so this Shelby will be going if an interested party comes along. Shoot me an e-mail sometime and get me up to date on everything you have going on these days. By the way, how were the Get Smart DVDs?


    Regards,


    David
