I really dont want to trust ford cause last time I was there due to power loss they charged me 400 bucks and it didnt get fixed they had it for 5 days adn when I got it home and started looking at it myself I could see a couple of sparks shooting from the wires to other sires and the engine block??? sooo Im not sure who to trust.. and ford wanted 1300 for clutch and my mechanic wanted 800 so what am I looking at for price if its the tranny??? or any ideas should I just drive till it finally quites then take it in?? let me know guys Thanks

If he's good at it, I'll let him rebuild the tranny and have a new clutch put on. No sense to use the same clutch when rebuilding the tranny on our car.
