#528 of 585 Odd question about transmissions by swakefield May 20, 2007 (6:14 pm)
(I also posted this in modification) Ok, this is going to be an odd question, but I am wanting opinions on the best way to do this. I have a v6 motor and auto trans from a 99 cougar and I am putting it in a boat, a 78 ski nautique. So having said that I need all the power to be applied to one output shaft only (drivers side) or equally to both would be ok too. So I have two thoughts the first is to make some kind of plate for the passenger side that keeps the output shaft on that side from moving. The other option is to go into transmission and modify it somehow (like welding the spyder gears in a chunk). Anybody have a clue?
#529 of 585 99 Cougar AC Issues and Recall Question by supercat1 Jul 09, 2007 (9:50 am)
I hope someone can point me in the right direction with and AC problem I have had for a few years.   My Cougar is a 99, had it since new. AC just quit working 2 years ago. I live in FL so it is HOT! The compressor has been replaced with a new one and it has been recharged. Still does not work. No cold air at all.   Any suggestions? I would like to do the work myself if possible. The car has almost 190 thousand on it. Not worth big expenditure.   Also would anyone know how long recalls on cars are good for? I think I may have found a recall to describe another issue I am having. It may be worth pursuing.   Thanks.

Replying to: supercat1 (Jul 09, 2007 9:50 am) Hi, I'm new to this forum, but I too am having A/C issues. Mine blows cool for a bit and then hot...so on and so on...I bought a recharge kit but want to know if it's gonna help? Did you do your own recharge? If so, do you have a 4 or a 6 cly.? I was hoping to tap your experience, because I too am a "do it yourselfer" only because I can't afford shops prices anymore. thanks, Bill Replies to this message: supercat1 (Aug 23, 2007 5:40 am) bmartines (Aug 23, 2007 1:34 pm) mwf86 (Oct 31, 2007 5:09 pm)

Replying to: bmartines (Aug 22, 2007 3:06 pm) Bill,   No it did not work for me. I ended replacing the compressor (another 30 bucks)and recharging it again but still no luck. Guessing there is a leak somewhere. I have given up on it for now. I am used to sweating it out! My car is a 6 cly. I am actually going to buy a new vechicle this weekend. I will keep the "cat" for driving around town so I am not sure if I'll ever fix the air. She's been a good car except for the A/C and a few of her own electrical quirks.   Good luck with the A/C. If the miles are low and your going to keep the car, it may be worth paying the money to have it fixed. The kit is a good cheap way to start, worth a try.

#533 of 585 Re: 1999 Couger 3rd dead Alternator...help? [bobw3] by cougarpoor Sep 25, 2007 (11:22 am)
Replying to: bobw3 (Dec 06, 2006 1:04 pm) I just replaced an altenator and the dash lights, stereo lights, etc. flicker even more steady than before. Did you ever solve what was causing your light issues. Mine looks like a fair ride at night?

Replying to: cougarpoor (Sep 25, 2007 11:22 am) I have replaced the alternator only once in the last 8 years. The flickering for me started way after I replaced the alternator so it just may be one of those temperamental car issues to the Cat.   She has good days and bad days, no rime or reason, but she still gets me to work 193 thousand miles and going!

Replying to: supercat1 (Sep 27, 2007 8:51 am) Hey there, I think you might have me mixed up with another cougar owner. I have only had an A/C issue with my car. Sorry...
