Yes, it's real CF. Yes, it works well. There's been some discussion on CC about this. Overall, for the price, if you're going through the effort of tearing...
I believe you are correct, and my mistake, it is a 2003 model. I drove it today and there is a small delay when in D4 or D5 (5spd auto), but it also has the...
Actually....I don't know about the revised powertrain strategy for '03, but the '00-'02s always started from a stop in 2nd gear. Those also had a horrible...
Steve, These Lincolns are a pain when it comes to programming them. If I remember correctly it's primarily due to the multiple computer setup in them and the ...

Thanks George. I won't keep my hopes up then, but I'll look around some more and see if I can find anything. When shifting 'manually' it starts in first,...
I ordered quite a bit of suspension from Mustangs Plus last week and it has arrived! I picked out variable front springs and 5-leaf mid-eye rear springs. Both...
Hi All, Last time out at the track (CCW direction) I was loosing quite a bit of gear oil via the breather cap on the rear end. Looking for suggestions on...
I use a catch bottle there. I've heard of running a line back to the diff cover and putting it back into the center, but that kills the breather function....
common problem on a roadrace mustang. remove the breather cap and replace with a hose barb. clamp a length of fuel hose to it, and loop it. that's all you...
Personally, I grabbed some pliers and ripped off the cap off the stock vent. Now it is more of a single-barb-fitting (very short). Temporarily, I ran a hose...
You are correctly getting fluid in that axle tube when cornering hard and it is being forced up and out of the breather cap. We used to make double breathers...

As Teddy mentioned, it's a common problem on these cars. It depends on the type of diff you have, the type of fluid you have, the way it's driven, the ambient...
If not using a catch-can, I'd recommend combining Teddy's/Darius etc's suggestion and adding a Vent Tube Jiggle Cap to the end of it. Should be dirt cheap at a...
Just for food for thought, I will mention that I find it hard to believe that any of us is boiling sufficient vapor to dump fluid out of the breather at the...
[Keman]...I find it hard to believe that any of us is boiling sufficient vapor to dump fluid out of the breather at the top of the axle tubes at any regular...
Would it make sense to drill and tap a hole on the other side and connect the two sides with a T? Then run the vent up off the top of the T? That way, if it is...
Hey Guys, Thanks for all the great replies. I do have to add to Darius's comments. I am in the same boat, after one run the right side of the axle is dripping...
sounds like it is time for a puke can. Of course, something like this could be used to a competitive advantage. :-) Gene Beaird...

I would think it probably wouldnt matter too much which side the vent was on or if both sides were vented. The axle housing is basically one large open area...
it's also going to be a bit of a pain to drill and tap the axle housing. that means you have to open it up and catch/clean out the drill shavings. -teddy ... ...
This is not mine, nor do I know the seller. I just happened upon it while searching for '86 Mustang stuff on ebay. I figured someone might be interested in...
Darius, Assuming that the problem is from too much heat. Are you running regular diff lube or synthetic? Is it alsopossible that you're running too much lube ...

Either side... If you're pulling 1G in a looong sweeper, then all the fluid will rush to that side, so it could matter which side the vent is on. Yeah, a...
I was just thinking about this problem and I only have 1 question. How many g's are you guys pulling to have this problem? I've measured constant g's as much...
