The last new car I ever bought was a 1979 Mustang 2. 3T. It was the biggest POS I have ever owned. The choke plate wasn't hooked to anything, the louvers were different colors, the vacuum line for the wastegate was pinched over because it wasn't routed correctly, wastegate diaphragm perforated after 6 months and the clutch wasn't set up properly (cable operated. The clutch started slipping at 18k miles because of the cable being too tight not letting the clutch seat under full pressure. Dealer wouldn't do anything so I ended up doing a new clutch in my driveway. No issues after that. Haven't bought a Ferd since. And to top it off, the 1981 SAAB turbo I bought next would have run circles around that Mustang.

Done a few like that, stuck dowles had to go to the back cracker after doing so many transmissions/clutches when I worked at a transmission shop. memories for sure. Mustangs are kind of easy and you have room. The newer mustangs OH boy! New FORD BRONCO Better keep your 9 MIL. socket FORD is using 9MIL again for the drive shafts 4x4. Not easy job either the worst turbo X 2 exaust connection and crossmember, heat sheilds 02 sensors x4 pain in the HOOOOO HAAAAA! :)

I had an 89 Mustang 5. 0. It was so much fun. By today's standards not much on HP. But it was a loud burnout machine. It was scary to drive at high speeds. Yet it was fun to do donuts with. Simple, reliable and all the girls wanted a ride. Those were the days. I punched the cats out, removed all the emissions and the ac put a 411 gear in the rear subframe connectors installed drag bars and a few more things. It was nuts to drive. LOL I miss that car so bad.

I live in Ann Arbor, Michigan, just as much part of the Rust Belt as Avoca. My next door neighbor owns three antique shops. She keeps a 1964 Mustang. I know that it is in perfect condition. She houses it in her heated garage, runs the engine once a week and drives it only on dry sunny summer days. She grew up in Arizona and bought it in 1985 when it was just an old car. Of course it is now a rare antique, built in the first model year.

Nice Job, but, just wondering, having Mustang 2005, manual myself, and done this few times myself, why you did this so complicated, hard way Why separate transmission from the Bellhousing I never do that, take it out, as one unit, no problems! And, you have a Lift, I done this with jack, and jack-stands too Just wondering, why you did this this way, much faster, easier to take it out as one. just saying; o) Peace =)

My wife also has a 95 Mustang GT, She bought it in 98, never ran it in winter and it looks just as clean as the one youre working on
I did the clutch and the rear engine seal.
First thing I tough when I saw the title of the video was,
''come on Mr O, if I can do it, you can do it! ''
Happy birthday Mrs O!

I have a '95 mustang that the transmission needs to come out of because it is leaking fluid, so this is very interesting to me to see what I am in for. Yes, I live in a southern state so mine looks just as clean underneath it as this one does. Also a standard transmission. 190, 000 on mine though. 3. 8L

That thing must be a treat for you. It looks incredibly clean underneath!
FYI, FL isn’t nearly the corrosion-free dreamland you imagine. The salt air and humidity wreak havoc of their own on everything plus the sun and heat which destroy batteries, paint, rubber, plastics, adhesives.

You are one of the few to say it correctly. GERRY rigged. It referred to the Germans (The Gerrys) in WW2, when they had no resources, and would Gerry Rig repairs. Most people think it is. JURY rigged. Well, there is a rigged Jury, but that's another topic.

That air injection nonsense is a nightmare. Had one on an '82 T-Bird and the pump was locked up solid, so I deleted the whole shebang. Fact is, the engine and carburetor were locked up solid as well - but I was unable to delete those.

Glad you split this into two videos. I was working up a sweat watching you working up a sweat. I need a beer.
The old girl is in real nice shape. Virtually no rust. Nice break from the stuff you normally have to work on.

Looks like a southern car Y'all. Nice. Look how clean that tranny is. I would have hit those bolts into the bell housing with penetrating oil and broke them off. I see the technique, gonna try it. Thanks again Mr. O.

Happy Birthday Mrs O. Depending on the month, we have the same birthday. If July, it's the same. If June we are a month apart. I'm guessing not the same year though as it's been a few since I was 30! LOL

You know, I think your estimates need to include a disclaimer/warning. that rusty crusty siezed, corroded fasteners may radically complicate the charges. AND the customer may be required to sing for Mrs. O

One said Why do you need a welder - It's handy when you have to weld.
Once I changed a hard clutch on a Subaru, looked like new. Then we changed the cable. (it was plastic wire, looked good.
