i dont know if it brings anything else up, but when my dad and i pushed the car in and out of the driveway, it was EXTREMELY difficult. like it took four of us to push the car out of the driveway and into the garage, and all of us were trying really hard to push it.

I am not positive but i would "guess" that all the MTX75's would need to have the pinion gear replaced along with the ring gear.

I am thinking you need to crack that casing back open and see if you have messed up either the ring or pinion gears. And if not...put the stock ring gear back in it! The Zetec FD doesn't really do that much good...your not gonna have traction either way. You'll just be shiftin' gears a little faster
