Re: 1985 Mustang GT

Its another EFI ford so the idle may be off, plastic door handles may break, T5 is shit, AOD can be decent, other than that you should be ok. If the idle is off check TPS KOEO should read .9v-1v, should be about 5v runing. The door handle is a quick easy replacement with an aftermarket metal handle. As far as trans goes dont beat on the t5 too hard and put a shift kit & seal kit along with a converter if you want good results outta your AOD. Hold the accumulator all the way out with a peice of pipe instead of a spring if you dont wanna spend any money on it. Also you can run Type F fluid in the trans for harder crisper shifts, but i would suggest a full fluid flush before changing. Good Luck, they are great cars and you can look for just as many if not more problems with any other F-body 80's-90's car.
