Thanks for the support
The Mystique actually isn't mine anymore... I gave it to my sister some years ago when I bought my 2k Cougar. She would have killed me if I returned it broken to her (I was car-sitting while she was on vacation).
As for doing it again, I'd have to get a waiver signed to release me from any responsibility for stripping rusted nuts
I'm an advid DIYer, as I hate shops. I don't trust them. I called Ford curious as to how much this problem would cost to fix, and the guy said it ranges from $1500 - $4500 typically
. And I thought Acura/Honda rips people off
BTW: I only gutted 1 precat... I didn't see the need to do the other one if it works, as my sister doesn't need power. So, I kinda cheated to my 24h fix
