Car Forum / Ford / Ford Mustang / December 2007Few 2000 GT service questions
Hi, I had a leak in my gas tank filler pipe and it just cost me $600 to have it replaced. ($120 for the pipe and the rest for labor. Apparently you need to drop the tank to fit the pipe in). I was sort of OK with having it done quickly since gas was dripping on the hot muffler... :-( Anyway, while I was at the dealer, obviously they wanted to do other work and I just like to know if any of it can be done in the garage. (I have basic tools but don't do much other than change the oil and belts). 1. They told me that the throttle body was dirty and I needed fuel injectors cleaned. 2. The manual transmission liquid needed changing. 3. Differential fluid needs changing. If anyone has links for the above DIY, I'd appreciate it.

Next time you're at the dealer, pick up a factory service manual.

In no case should you use "30 weight" anywhere in your car ! The T45 uses ATF, and the rear end takes hypoid gear lube with friction modifier added. Invest in the service lit and RTFM. At the very least a Haynes or Chilton book has all the info you need. rd '89 LX5.0 '02 green V6 green Bullitt on the way >Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >1.

The manual transmission liquid needed changing. Only if you have at least 50K on it and more like 100K unless you are regularly racing it. >3. Differential fluid needs changing. Same ans as 2. >If anyone has links for the above DIY, I'd appreciate it. > >Thanks >Mark >2000 GT 'vert black |
