Damn...you make it sound like it was me that did it  .
1) i wouldn't put the zetec FD in my car.
2) i wouldn't do it myself sicne i don't have a press.
3) i would have made sure i needed the pinion also.
Hey Instigator...it's ok. It's just more money if the pinion gear is messed up. ONE DAY this project will be done...and when it is i am making a trip to Tampa

I hate to be a dick, but I remember checking out this guys cardomain page and I saw his zetec FD swap. And I was thinking to myself...I know it's not that easy...

Or he could have saved a lot of time and $ and sent it off to be done correctly. Now he has to mess with pulling it out and opening it up. Also spend on replacing farked parts. How many people on here don't listen and think they can fix/build anything? A lot. And how many come back after not doing thourough research and have a major cluster fu[k? A lot. People need to reassess abilities. Some thing are difficult and should only be done by those with experience with tools. Speaking of tools... at what point did you turn into one? When Stazi, Rick and I send the trans out for work we do that should tell people something. Whenever I post Terry's take you get your panties in a bunch like you have a personal vendeta against him. It gets real f'n old. You don't talk this way in person so why on a car forum. Would you say the same things to Terry's face at SZ if he came? Doubt it. If you don't like it STFU and move on. You know he he comes off in type. He tells it like it is like myself. Foreplay is for pu$$ies.[rant off]

You obviously missed my entire point! Point is, Instigator didn't come on here blaming you, or Terry, or anyone for HIS mistake! If he was pissed at you guys, I'd see there be a reason for you to give him sh!t. He asked a "hypothetical question" because he wants to fix HIS mistake. If someone doesn't want to read what has been posted, then let them figure it out on their own, it's obviously what they wanted to do anyways by not taking your advice in the first place. As for me having something against Terry, think again. I've recommended him several times over on SVTP, as his name isn't as recognized as it is here. I just think some people could take a step back and look at how they're acting to a guy that has done nothing but ask a simple question. Again, it was his mistake, and he knows he has to pay for it. Kicking him while he's down wasn't exactly necessary. Like I said though, not everyone has been wrenching on cars their whole life, and maybe this is just something he wants to learn on. Mistakes are only going to make him better/stronger. As for in person, nobody gave me a reason to go off on a tangent in the couple of meets that I've seen you at. I'm a nice guy until I have a reason not to be. Anyways, I didn't even realize that you were speaking for Terry in that post until after the fact. You usually italicize his quotes. Don't take everything to heart Todd, it's the intraweb!

P.S. I met Terry at Spring Zing and he seemed like a nice guy. Why is it I'm getting called out for being an dick? All I did was stick up for the original poster.

Aight guys, no need to get angry. Todras, thank you for your insight.....i thought the drive swap was going to be simple......again, all i thought it was was a easy "ring gear" swap. obviously i was wrong. and i have to pay for it. i have done a lot of research. and something got over-looked. sh!t happens i guess. my first mistake was not knowing a lot about transmissions and how they work. the 2nd was not using what commom sense i had left and knowing that changing the ring gear would indeed entitle the changing of the pinion gear my mistake.  ive been apart of CEG and NECO long enough not to get upset when people make harsh remarks at stuff that i say. i see it so often and i even take apart in harsh remarks, so ones given at my qestions/comments are taken lightly. I will listen to any and all constructive criticisms, no matter how harsh they might sound. but back on top, the pinion gear has no visible damage. does anybody know who happens to have a spare i can take off their hands? my 3rd mistake was trashing m orig. 4.06
