So on the honda forum you're a closet ford lover, and on the ford forum, you're a closet honda lover?

I went to another ford show. There were some pretty sweet cars there. Sorry, no pics, my stupid camera's battery died.

Guys, here's a pic I took of the Hurst shifter last night after we installed the shift boot adapter(which came yesterday).

I never noticed that detail. You learn something new everyday

I like the Super Bee, old and new, but that hideous body kit not. It disrupts the cars lines imo.

And the black paint around the grille and headlights doesn't help either.

It's actually a gran turismo forum with a very robust automotive subforum. It's got all kinds of people, it's not based on one brand.

I imagine the playing was fun, and hope you won, because that body kit is fugly.

Anyone ever turn a 15 minute job into a three hour job accidentally? Today while cleaning up the garage I decided to hop in the Mach and look at the factory auto shifter. I've been debating on either getting a different shift **** or an aftermarket shifter altogether so I thought I'd pull the factory shift **** off just to see what was under there. There's only one small allen head bolt that holds it on. I removed that and gave it a little tug but the **** was on tight. So, now mind you this is where my superhuman strength apparently kicked unexpectedly, I gave it one "little" stronger tug and it came right off....... and so did the wires off of the back of the OD switch.

Long story short, three hours later after disassembling the switch and attempting a repair with my soldering iron, etc. it still doesn't work. Worse now, it blows the fuse down in the fuse block whenever I try to turn OD off, LOL. Gotta find a new OD switch and get it swapped out next week.

Who needs an OD off switch, just press the gas a little harder

I pressed it the other day when driving with my dad 'cause I had slowed down to 35 after cruising at 45, car held 4th, and he gave me this small lecture on how "that button isn't made to be pressed often" and "most people only hit it maybe 4-5 times if they know where it is." I hit it whenever it holds 4th under 40 because it just chugs then

I use it all the time because with 4.10 gears, the factory torque converter fails pretty easily when you shift into OD at full throttle. So I shut it off any time I'm gonna be out playing.

I rarely use the O/D switch, and due to the fact that mine's on the shifter bezel, I mostly use the gas pedal method That's a bummer Tom.

Makes sense. Unless you want an aftermarket converter...

Suckage. I've had that happen many times.

I've turned it off a couple times just for the heck of it. Would be more fun with 4.10s.

haha, I use mine all the time...mostly because the transmission in my jeep's a major POS...and to have any power, without flooring it, and getting a hard downshift, you hit the little button...

For that, it's an internal button. Just hit it and your right foot becomes 50 pounds heavier
