I wonder how, I want to flush the brake/clutch fluid so planning to take to ford as they have the easy hook up to flush and replace in one set up? How do you do it ALL at your garage, I also have a quick jack I use all the time? Thanks

I use a Motive Products pressure bleeder and two liters of brake fluid. It's a little slow because I don't pump up the pressure too high, maybe 13 psi. I've been thinking about adding a more positive retention clamping thing so I can boost the pressure a little bit higher.
I've been thinking about getting those check valve bleeder screws. I've also traded work with my grandson. He helps me bleed my brakes and I do a free oil change for him .
Also going to switch out the drain and fill plugs on the transmission next time its up in the air. Putting in hex head plugs to replace those crappy Allen head plugs.

The clutch is a closed system so no easy way to flush. With the shared reservoir, it will eventually exchange fluid with the clean stuff after a brake flush but at the mercy of putting the dirty fluid back into the reservoir. Many of us added a separate reservoir for the clutch, which eliminates the cross contamination. I believe Shelby still makes a nice kit.

Those transmission plugs are metric. Just a heads up, M16 x 1.5

I hope that Model T didn't show off too much in front of the rest of you boys.....................
Been working on a Coyote swap in my 05 since I broke a rod last weekend at the track, good times…
Took it to a PCA event and blew up the transmission…

it’s the end of the track season here in Atlantic Canada so honestly. Kind of the perfect time. I’d rather it break at a PCA HPDE then at a time attack next year
The joys of the MT82. Good luck with the off season repairs.
A “new” used trans is being taken out of a car at a scrap hard as we speak. It will do just great until I can do a rebuild on this one. Maybe even with some extra goodies inside

Oh boy that brings back dark thoughts.... went through 5 of those... or was it 6? Rather not remember.... Add a cooling pump circuit! and carbon synchro's... and buy a spare.
Buy a Tremec.
As much as I’d love to there isn’t a company that makes a tremec bell housing
Which engine are you running?
3.7 V6
And I shouldn’t say they don’t make one they are just no longer made and are impossible to find now

. At least my calimer stage 3 with the 26 spline seems to be surviving well so far.
Motive bleeder is great for a firm pedal, but is absolutely terrible if you don't evacuate the entire reservoir pressure pot. It always seems to lead to overflowing the MC a bit and no matter how fast I am, I cannot get the big syringe in there fast enough to stop it from happening.
Otherwise the Motive is like cheating.
