YOu will get 100 different opinions on this, and lots of guys like to piece meal parts from different manufacturers and hope they work together. I kept it simple and called Steeda and they set me up with a complete suspension package for my car and I couldn't be happier.

This is the first time I've ever heard anyone articulate what the issue may be. Makes sense. I've never experienced lockout, but I can get the trans to clash if I upshift really fast at high rpm and sometimes it will do it heel toe-ing on the way down as well. Maybe I need to be planning a...

I concur with your trans guy. I can see why some would want thick oil given the assumption that it thins out from the heat, but modern oils are pretty stable. Also, you want that oil to fling off the hot parts and cooler oil to come in contact. Thick oil will just hang on and you won't get...

Thanks for your input, it helps me understand what's really failing in these units, it appears my suspicions were correct in your situation.I also hear everyone say the stock clutch is a problem as well and if I'm honest I'm having trouble visualizing what the problem is there. Is there...

Yah I totally get the heat from RPM, upshifting and especially downshifting. If not done properly, (I double clutch on the way down) downshifting really beats up the synchros and generates a LOT of additional heat in a localized area. I've not had an MT82 apart yet, but I assume they have some...

I have not built an MT82 yet but I've built my share of manual transmissions, certainly enough to be dangerous. I was wondering what was failing on these units. Lots of guys over on Mustang6G have Calimer MT82s behind blowers and all kinds of stuff and have decent luck with them. Over here is...

...so back to the beginning, what does Calimer say about the failed trans? I don't understand why a stock one would hold up and the stage 2 would fail so quickly. I feel that needs to be part of the discussion here as well. Obviously the Tremec is stronger but seems overkill for stock all...

@EIGHTLUG I appreciate your response. I concur that dual lines should be used (I don't have the data to go against what the Ford engineers thought was prudent). I concur that your lines appear to be very robust.My questions mainly revolved around why they were needed. The honest answer may...

Well here is what MMR has to say on the issue...https://www.modularmotorsportsracing.com/cart/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=1419One specific note I found interesting on MMR's website I've quoted below."NOTE: While we have seen some copies of the MMR product it should be...

I agree we could surmise that at some point the engineers thought it was important to include balance lines, but it's just an assumption. If the issue is oil aeration in the feed passages that's fine, but I don't see how that's a localized problem that the rest of the engine wouldn't see as...

At the bottom of the page, the first rule is to add value. You've added none.Nothing in these comments says anything about the root cause of the oil aeration in question. So is it an RPM thing? Is it a Voodoo thing? Is it a mod motor thing and we should all do it? I don't see a clear...

So I may be mis-understanding something here, hopefully you guys can clear it up. Is this a must have on a Voodoo, or is it a must have on any Coyote/Voodoo/Predator? Is it the sustained high rpm that's the issue or is there something Voodoo specific that makes it a must there and just an...

Here is the most recent washer and lock nut part numbers and what they look like.

I replaced my wheel bearings with Moog units when both of mine failed. Rear wheel bearing failures are so common on these cars, I figured it was worth the "risk" to try an aftermarket part and see if it's any better.The blue spacer ring between the half shaft and the wheel bearing has been...

That was my #1 fear. I'm running thin spacers with stock PP wheels, so everything is still hub centric which helped, but you still can't have the lug studs way off center, they won't torque up square. The drill bit I used had a generous lead-in, and I did NOT clamp the hub assemblies in the...
