Before things can get better you have to figure out everything that’s bad and correct it. That’s where we are currently. In this episode we jump into the newly Acquired Mustang SVO to figure out what needs addressed immediately and start to correct things to get this car back on the road.

Thanks for making this series 😊 I just bought an 86 SVO near me that I absolutely love

@TonysFordsandMustangs 10 месяцев назад

Well I'm right there with you! Thanks for watching!

@chrisbianchi8520 10 месяцев назад

I saw your brother in law last week, and found out you were working on this... probably my favorite mustang ever! Can't wait to see this SVO. Hope to see you at CAD tomorrow.

@TonysFordsandMustangs 10 месяцев назад

I'll be there in the SVO. :)

Always appreciate videos on the old turbo Fords. My brother and I both have LX Mustangs with transplanted 2.3T engines. As far as changing T5 fluid, I believe you can use a funnel with a long hose and gravity refill easily from the engine compartment.

@TonysFordsandMustangs 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! I have filled a 03 New Edge Mustang transmission from the drivers seat. There is really more than one way to do things. :)

Great video, I would like to get another factory stock SVO. My 85 has highly modified, with a 351w, TKO 500, 8.8 -3L55, and a lot more. These cars are awesome in my opinion. There just a little hard to find affordable parts for. 😊

@TonysFordsandMustangs 10 месяцев назад

Thank you and I am finding out a few parts are VERY rough to find.

It's no longer called Tranny Fluid, it's Gender Neutral Shift Juice..... Just trying to help keep you from being canceled!!! Love the car and the content.

People service the rear ends on their cars??? Looks like the car you bought is a great candidate for a complete go through and replacement of all fluids. Looking forward to seeing this thing on the road!

Out in the garage sauna again today. :)

@oneninerniner3427 10 месяцев назад

Good stuff Tony! I betcha it is the traction lok clutchs are sreeching n chattering, new lube & friction modifier should do it. You might need to drive it in circles for a bit to get the new fluid worked into the clutchs. You need a suction gun for adding & sucking out fluids, they work good especially for tight areas like that trans fill. They kinda look like a grease gun, but buy a good one, like a lincoln brand, the cheap ones leak. And a set of allen sockets. And some power tools! Ha. I like to tell peoples, i know how to spin bolts, i dont need any more practice! But of course i do it for a living too.

@TonysFordsandMustangs 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for the tip. I agree it's the clutches I think the new fluid and Friction modifier will do the trick. I wanted to all the old fluid out of this car including what was in the tubes so pulling the axles wasn't a complete waste of time. I would bet dollars to doughnuts it has never been changed. I'll look into suction gun. I do have power tools but the are air tools and on camera well they are bit noisy. I could use Allen sockets now that I am getting into newer cars (1986 is newer to me). Most of my toys have been pre 1975 and all have been domestic so I really haven't that much of a need.

Take good care of that transmission. The blocker rings, bearings, etc. are available but the special ratio gears are not.

I bought a used demo SVO Silver 1984 LTD LX 4 Dr with the 5.0 Mustang V8 in 1984. It had been in testing by Ford as a training car for NASCAR Racing. Best deal ever! A rocket on wheels. Dual oil sump with 2 drain plugs and a rocker arm around the oil sump. Anyone know the history of the LTD LX models?

@TonysFordsandMustangs 17 дней назад

@1034cookie 6 месяцев назад

Do you know exactly what was changed to improve the suspension geometry on the SVO?

@TonysFordsandMustangs 6 месяцев назад

It wasn't so much the geometry as it was the balance, spring rates, & shocks. The 2.3 weighs less than the 5.0 and it sits back in the engine compartment. Adjustable Koni shocks, higher rate springs and bigger sway bars were added to car.

It's a convertible..

I do use air tools however on camera they are a bit loud. :) I am an ex Air Force jet engine mechanic and air tools are frowned upon in that environment at least they were. Thanks for watching!
