[TH rant]...well no s**t!...must be rocket science to 'count' ring gear teeth and use your brain to work out that both the diff and output shaft with the pinion are in FIXED POSITIONS in the case and a ratio change MUST have both the ring gear AND the new output shaft with pinion...I'd read the Ford CD if I were you!!!





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
