Wasn't expecting this to happen this soon but I knew I was driving on borrowed time, it was just a matter of when it was going to happen. Last night seemed to be the end of what the tranny could handle. Was playing around with a older Mustang GT and shifted from first to second and that is when all I heard was grinding parts and the car was not going anywhere. Pulled into a parking lot and found fluid coming from the tranny. Guess I have to start on the 3 Litre conversion and tranny upgrade sooner than I expected.

Man, that sucks! Well, now you have an excuse for the 3.0 and tranny upgrades.

And you most likely still got owned by the GT. Doubleowned.

Sorry to see. Glad to see you going the 3L route.

damn Dave... keep me updated on the rebuild.

wow, that picture reminds me of when something internally busted a hole in amy trans case. I broke the shift tower a week prior (like 3 days after the purchase of the car) and the local ford dealers mechanics are stupid as fug. They took the trans down/apart to look for the broken bolt, and put it together, 2 days later, turning onto my street I hear a bang and look in my rear view and I had a 1-1.5 wide trail of trans fluid leading to my driveway (about 10 houses from the corner) Was a nasty mess.

At least now you get a better engine and trans!

Damnnn, that sucks Dave. I know with your skills you'll be runnin in no time though. At least you have the daily beater. If my car broke down I'd be hitching

im afraid thats gonna happen to my car...dont kno why...but knowing my luck, it will...

sorry to hear about that...

Hey at least you get to upgrade it now! Keep us posted.

Ouch.

At least if you need a 3L shortblock or engine built, I'm only a state away. Drop me a PM if you're interested.
