In this episode we work on the drivetrain of our 2008 Ford Mustang GT
(S197 2005-2009). We install an aluminum SpyderShaft drive shaft from
Leonard Racing which is 33 pounds lighter than the stock drive shaft
from Ford. As a result, it gives you more power to the wheels and also
increases your fuel efficiency.While we have the drive shaft
off, it's the perfect opportunity to swap out the shifter (since it is
located directly above the drive shaft). We installed a Tri-Ax short
throw shifter from Steeda which reduces your throw by a whole two
inches, providing faster & firmer shifts and a guarantee to make
3rd gear.
The format of the show is to install everything in the
MOTORZ garage in order to properly show you, the viewer, how easy it is
to do the install yourself in your own garage, using a few simple
tools. However, due to the low stance of our Mustang and all the camera
work we needed to do below the vehicle as well as in the cockpit, it
made better sense for us to film this episode in a different
environment, with a lift and minimal power tools.
