On a Galaxie trans, it is on the drivers side.
With the new trans, I can choose between s mustang tail (everything fits perfect) or a galaxie tail.
Galaxie tail will require shorter driveshaft, maybe different hurst shifter, etc., but the speedo will hook up and work.

I was told that there is no way to get the speedo to work in a galaxie with a...

My 2014 Explorer XLT driver door handle (exterior) cap apparently fell off the other day. So I ordered a replacement. The next day, the main part of the handle pulled right out when opening the door. It wasn't latching to anything. So, today I took the door apart, and discovered that the mechanism that the handle latches...

I have a 2013 Fiesta, 1.6 L engine, automatic.

Today I noticed that I have to hold the key in the on position for about a minute and a half before starting the car, otherwise no power seems to go to the starter. It's acting as though the anti-theft system is a bit delayed in recognizing the key.

Some experts suggested leaving the ignition on for 15 minutes to reset the anti-theft system. This works fine for a bit but then re-occurs. The batter was tested and seems to be good,...
