To my recollection the 351W was not used in this year Mustang. Sounds like it was cobbled together.

How are you sure the clutch is engaging and disengaging?

Additionally is there any fluid in the gearbox?

Can you manually disconnect the linkage and move things around?

I belive it originally came with a 6cyl.

When I press the clutch in, the car stops, and when I relese it , it moves.

I assume there is fluid in the gearbox
Havent disconnected linkage, will try that tomorrow

Hopefully that is the prob..bent linkage..

When it happened, i was accelerating fast, and shifing just as fast, and seems like it is jammed between 1st and 2nd (shifter location anyway).

front struts

bigdupa on Oct 24, 2002

92 olds cutlass supreme. took it in for inspection. my rear struts are bad but that won't fail inspection. the mechanic says my front struts are also bad. he says when i turn the bottom of the strut is turning like it should but the top isn't which is causing a twisting action and will one of these days snap right in two. does that sound logical? i really can't feel any steering problems.Read More

1990 Toyota Camry Heater Question #3

T

toajr on Oct 22, 2002

I want to thank all who tried to help me diagnose and fix my heater problem. I finally broke down and took it to a small Toyota Dealership. They initially said they would dianose the problem for $45.00. Anyway the said the problem was a clogged heater core and that I had two options. Try and blow it out or just rerplace the heater core for $1,000.00. I had them blow out the heater core. They only charged me $132.50 total, probably because they only got it to produce a luke warm temperature. I took the car home and them proceeded to flush out the heater core directly with pouring engine flush directly into one port thru a heater hose and blowing it out with an electric water power washer. i repeated this thru both ports, basicially flushing and back flushing the heater core. I them reverved the heater hoses to get a reverse flush using the hot water and pressure from the system. i ran it up and down the highway for about an hour. I enven got some pretty good heat at times. I hookes the hoses back up correctly and it appears the system is working at least 60% as an average using outside air only. So sometimes it pays to get the right diagnose by an expert inorder to determine how to proceed with a problem. TOAJRRead More
