Basically it's only got 15k miles on it, and they guy was hit on the drivers side and totalled the car. Might be a great buy to have an extra tranny around! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/ebayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1831755804&r=0&t=0 View My Car\'s Profile!

The motor and transaxle are in really good condition. Just thought I'd throw my 2cents in! Tim '00 SVT

I have the third gear grind too and it really sucks. are there any mechanics that have a 99+ that can tell me if their transmissions are better than the 98s? _ _ ___________________________ _ _ "Life is hard.

Also, the 2000 model year trans are better than the 98's for whoever asked. But, they are becoming increasingly rare as ford destroyed a huge amount of overstocked ones a few months back.

I could understand if the cars were 20 years old, but...that's just wasteful! Good luck getting a new tranny if you've got a 2000 SVT huh? :rolleyes: View My Car\'s Profile!
