I hadn't seen this thread til now, but thought I'd answer for future searches. No, the back of the standard radio has no inputs at all. It does have RCA outs that you could use for an outboard amp. So I went with an FM transmitter to use my phone-music for the Rally, and it worked better...

well, fubar. Turned out to be a misleading ad, they just sent me the unwanted replacement fluid instead of what the ad title and picture show.

HBD Steve! Extra fun to send the greeting as new friends!

Thx Jay, that does picture the right stuff! Somehow i didn't turn up that link when I searched Amazon 2 weeks ago. Ordered and we'll see if they swap it out or ship exactly as pictured.

My efforts to confirm that the Dallas dealer used the wrong fluid 3 years have hit a snag. The fluid on the receipt is listed as Ford # XT-4-QGL, but that fluid is no longer available. It has been replaced by Ford # XT-M5-QS. I tried scouring the internet to find a source to buy a quart of the...

A few amateur pics

I logged on to launch the same message, so will do a "times ten!" right here with Fred:thumbsup All the behind the scenes work that went in to setting up the track, the drives, the meals, the badges, programs, decals, and on and on......was amazing and appreciated. Standing O to all of you...

OP says not "saving" for anyone, or the rest of us would be saying the same thing ; )

That is an amazing life story - so many innovations and accomplishments, he was an automotive genius.

Sounds real good! Awesome - thanks and pencil me in:biggrin

I had to cancel my pre-Rally track instruction here at home, and am a novice. I'd think that the Advanced Forum drivers would rather be spending their track time driving their own cars, than coaching me. But for anyone that may be willing, please give me a holler. Alternatively, does anyone...

Also want to share a couple little tips from todays transaxle fluid change. The socket sizes needed to remove the fill, drain, and magnet plugs are 22, 24, and 32 mm. Torque is 20 ft/lbs. It is very easy to fill the transaxle using just good old gravity and a funnel by removing the airbox...

Today's updates include some good news, but not so good as the noise going away. Drained the fluid. Darker/dirtier looking than I expected. The screen had a small amount of tiny metal dust, that seemed to make the fluid I wiped off the screen especially black. The amount of metal dust/fuzz on...

Pls add some detail, so I know what this is referring to? Thx

Naturally any other details, no matter how small, are of interest to me. For example, how long (miles/time) would you guess you put up with it and did it slowly worsen over time? Was there anything learned along the way about which parts went bad to cause the noise? Hmmm, pretty opposite...

Hi guys. Thanks for acknowledging the mind-mess side of this, it is brutal right now. The extreme excitement I have had for a full track day of instruction this Friday and a vacation to go to the Rally in 2 weeks, has been replaced with just feeling ill. The car has not been driven hard. The...

Kendall, I did not suspect such critical information would be identified by simply reading a PN off the old receipt. Thank you so much for catching this seeming minutiae. Can you or anyone else speculate as to what this wrong fluid would do? I can only start to imagine the dealer's response to...

As in post #4, the transaxle fluid currently checks as full, clean, and entirely normal look and smell by dipping a finger at the fill plug. The soonest I might be able to drain it and check the filter/screen on the drain plug is Friday. The transaxle fluid was last changed 8/2/14 at 1,011...

Yes I felt the sides of the hubs that you can reach through the wheel spokes - all 4 the same and remarkably cool. Haven't checked for play. Checked the wheel lugs , let me know if that is not what you mean by rear retaining nuts.

Mark, I very much appreciate you and Kevin spotting this. Kevin may have recognized me/the car as a customer of yours from 6 months ago. My brother-in-law, who has been a senior tech at Lexus for over 25 years just read the post and listened to the video, and he said exactly what you just did...
