Can someone please offer some their ideas. My Car is in pristine condition as witnessed by the mechanic that looked at my broken engine. He said that he had never see this before and that usually a throw rod is preceded by a bad looking clutch / fly wheel or poor oil changes. There was ABSOLUTELY no abnormal wear on the clutch or fly wheel. In fact they're in great condition he said. I had clean Mobil 1 in. Folks I have 65K on my SVT and I'm looking at $6000 if I can't get Ford Customer Service to understand. Any ideas would be welcome.
