    1964 transmission only goes into neutral & low

    Hello, I purchased my 1964 thunderbird a few months back. The car needed some work but everything worked fine. I recently had to replace my exhaust manifolds due to a large crack in one of them causing a leak. After everything was replaced and new exhaust was hooked up, I went to take it around...

    1969 Column Shift Gear Indicator Lamp

    This shouldn't have been difficult to replace the light bulb to light up the gear indicator on top of the column, but the Shop Manual makes it sound like the hub is a two piece that gets pried apart. I see a fully circular collar, I call a front hub and a fully circular bit I'll call the rear...

    1964 Changing a Speedometer Cable

    A couple questions on this fix. Any insights or recommendations are appreciated. I’ve changed the headlight switch (still need to shorten the stalk) and the Neutral Safety Switch (works great but now there’s a new hissing vacuum leak I need to tend to). 1. I haven’t dug into this part of the...

    I searched the Forum using Transmission(s) and got nowhere. If somebody knows where to point me, please do. The 2002 Tbird starts and runs fine. At different times, I will pull up to a stop at a traffic light and when it turns green, I press on the gas pedal and the engine free revs and the...

    1997 4.6 Vibration in gear with brake on - not motor mounts

    The vibration is only when in gear (forward or reverse) and varies when steering wheel is turned - it gets worse as I turn the wheel - then eases off (a little but always there) until wheel is turned again. I feel no movement of the drive train as I shift gears. The motor is rock steady with no...

    Manual Shifter - is there a better one than stock?

    I'm really struggling with this stock 3-spd shifter. It's so sloppy and such a poor design, I was wondering if there were ever any aftermarket shifters available for the T-Bird - I know there's not a lot of room in the trans tunnel... I'm going to take it apart and see if I can get it...

    03-05 Engine Transmission and Supercharger

    I just sold my 03 T-Bird for health reasons. It was my understanding I could keep it to the end but that changed after a hart attack. I sold the car at the auction and I have a few good things spare that I need to get rid off. I have an 04 Engine. It was running perfectly on a Lincoln LS when I...
