Long story sort, I have all of the symptoms of a failing TPS. Started as a small "blip" and now is starting to happen more and more. Idle randomly hangs at 1500 (sometimes higher) and will not reset unless you turn off the key, hesitation under very light throttle while cruising, CEL pops on...

First this in not Bronco but since it's Ford 9 TL related I thought I would post in the tech section for others in this situation. Long story short, my 1969 Mach 1 BB 390 car has always acted up when cornering. It's not driven that often and I figured it was just an aggressive locker. Well...

Well I'm stumped. I even used the D20 seal AA states isn't needed. Will tear it down tomorrow. Suggestions? Tim

Title kind of says it all. For 25 years my Ebrake has not worked worth a crap. It was missing all the in the drum parts back when I bought it. I bought some parts back in the day and it's just never worked. Like to get it sorted out by maybe starting fresh with correct parts? Tim

I know it's only been a few days since I finished my M5R2 conversion but dang the shifter is HIGH. Maybe this is a product of the 97 and up shifter? It's almost as high as the steering wheel. Was looking for advice on how to shorten the handle. Cut and weld? Has anyone used a Ranger R1...

First and foremost a HUGE thanks goes out to everyone for the help along the way. Without the past posts and build threads along with real time answers, I'm not sure this would have turned out on the positive side of things. When I say complete I mean the hard items. She runs and drives...

I'm having a VERY hard time getting through to BC. Not sure what the issue is.......I need some help on this. I'm not seeing the forest for all the damn trees I guess. Frustration has set in and that causes total blindness. I've got BC's ZF Master Cylinder mounted in the Speed-O hole and I...

Moving on to the clutch while I wait for driveshafts to be modified. Why can't things just go as planned? I've go allot going on. Power brakes so I have an aftermarket booster bracket. It's blocking the Speedometer hole just ever so slightly. I'll grind the bracket and fix that. My real...

First, sorry for all the M5ODR2 posts......I'm almost done with the conversion.....Well clutch is next so many a couple more. I'm in the process of building my crossmember and it's time to figure out the angle of the dangle. As I recall the Bronco trans has like 3 degrees slop towards the...

Well my project is moving forward slower than planned but that's always the case. Latest "snag" is the discovery of the 2000 model year R2 and the J shift twins not playing well together. Pic explain it the issue. Trans is in second gear and T-case in (front and rear) in low. While I don't...

I'm having issues getting a ZF/M5ODR2 crossmember for my R2 swap and rather than wait till "we don't know" I figure why not give it a try at building my own. Trans is ready to go in for the last time. I've got the twin stick bracket figured out so the T-case is also ready to go in. Will have...

I started my M5ODR2 conversion a several days back. It's slow going waiting on parts and such. BC is out of stock on the crossmember and that's a major hold up. I put the D20 to ZF/M5OD adaptor together yesterday and started mocking up the twin sticks. The JB Fab supplied mounting bracket (I...

After several years and lots of research, I've started my M5ODR2 conversion and have a couple questions on driveshafts. 1. Do you keep the CV joints on the driveshafts for this conversion? Both my D-shafts have them. 2. Rather than ordering new driveshafts (I'm a cheap S.O.B) has anyone had...

Found this while doing some searching. Thought it might come in handy to someone. It's for 1997 model but I bet there were very few if any changes for the R2 during it's run. http://bbscomp.com/george/manual.pdf Torque specs on the last page which is what I was looking for. Tim

I'm 80% of the way to starting my ZF swap (should have all the parts next month) and am confused just a bit on the ZF to D20 adapter. Received my kit from AA which had no instructions in it. Went to their website and found the instructions which are kind of useless IMO. The Parts list (i.e...

Got an odd issue with my EFI. It's OBD1 SN95 Stang. 96 van speed density converted to 95 Stang mass air. Been running great for 2 plus years......then the oddness started this summer. First thing I noticed was the idle.....it randomly hangs at 1500 It will not go down while driving. If I...

Thought crossed my mind last night..... Anyone running twin sticks (J shift) with a factory bench seat? I'm about to drop the hammer on past for my 5 speed swap and don't think I have ever heard of any issues with the twins and a bench but don't recall anyone saying they run that combo either...

I have a few months before I start my swap and idle time is not good for me. I was out looking a prices and where I could save a buck or two. Using this vendor vs. that vendor. One of my searches turned up "universal" transmission cross members. I see they come in straight or 2, 4, 6 or 8...

Found one and will be going to look at it today. My understanding is it does fit the SBF engines if you drill out the bell housing bolt holes. Anything else I should grab off the truck/F150? Guessing the T-case does not work in the Bronco. Shifter, throwout bearing, clutch slave cylinder and...

In the past 6 months I've had two Autolite spark plugs just stop working. Yes I know, why the hell are you running Autolite plugs? Seemed good at the time I guess. Plugs are about 3 years old and have under 5000 miles on them. I had a come and go miss that would clear up once warm. It got...
