The Merkur Club of America Forums

Thanks to Jacek, I now have a 4 cyl T-5 to stick into my XR. Just have to get a few more bits, some oil, and then swap er in and then dispose of the C-3. Have had my fun with the auto trannies, but it's time to go manual and never look back...

Ah, I was wondering if we'd see it again. Merkur Desktop has been my home page for, well as long as I can remember

Thanks, that makes it more clearer

I found that again, and have looked thru it and the one on Merkur Encyclopedia. However I see no pics of what it look like when they're talking about reusing the stock 2 piece drive shaft.

I have one good used VSS for Scorpio autotrans $50.00 shipped in lower 48 USA and some random trans shifter surround bits for Scorpio auto trans these are $15.00 for the lot plus shipping from 80503. Shifter surround x2 IIRC shifter gate, and the little plastic "plates" for lack of better term, 3 to...

Dang, I just got rid of my last Scorpio trans mount IIRC

I may actually have a speedo cable for a T9 that needs repair, I have to look thru my parts stash again. I have to check my extra driveshaft, but as I recall it is from a T9 equipped XR, so that should reduce cost, and headache balancing a one piece DS. I should be able to use the C3 trans mount wit...

Like I said, manual trans is next step at some point, however I'm leaning towards soonerer rather than laterer, simply because if the c3 has to come out, i dont really wanna put it back. I know a T9 will be quick dirty and easy, but also only good to 350hp unless I get really spendy on parts from th...

I know its been done, and I'm reading thru forum posts now. Here's the skinny: My 86 xr has not passed smog since 2010. I took the car off the road in 2012 due to what I thought atnbthe time was a bad c3 trans. It turned out to be an exhaust that separated at a joint that made me think the trans was...

No prob, I haven't passed smog and don't have tags so its not urgent.

I converted my XR to Scorpio 5 lugs awhile back, and need 1 electrically bad front abs wheel speed sensor from a Scorpio. Wires can be cut off even. It does NOT need to be functional electrically. It must however be not deformed. I already have 2 that are bad electrically and they wont fit because t...

Well at least it's not just me, or a windows only issue.

Is it on the fritz or is it just my Firefox? I get this when ever I go to merkur desktop: Fatal error: Uncaught Error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in /home/juszi0/public_html/desktops/includes/dbinc.php:2 Stack trace: #0 /home/juszi0/public_html/desktops/includes/varsinc.php(1): inclu...
