Tranny rebuild
Yesterday we pulled the tranny out of the mustang. A buddy I work with is helping me rebuild it (meaning he is rebuilding and I am fetching beer for him). All told it will cost around 200-250 instead of the 800-900 the shops have been quoting so I am pretty happy about that. It wont get put back together til next weekend though, then the guy I bought it from is gonna finish some work that was promised. And shortly there after, it is getting disc brakes at all four corners. And then I need to rebuild the carb. And after that, the front suspension is getting replaced. And....
no wonder my wife says I spend to much money on the car. But it is gonna be nice when I get done with it!!! I still love that thing. |

RE: Tranny rebuild
Not nearly as bad as I expected. It was a little bit of a b1tch to get it out cuz of the headers though. Hopefully it will go in smoother.

RE: Tranny rebuild

RE: Tranny rebuild
While you have the tranny out you should throw some turbos on that motor.;)

RE: Tranny rebuild
The car has hooker headers, and they didnt have to be removed, it just took some time and patience.
I wouldnt mind turbos, but the mrs. is about at her limit for spending money on the car this month[&o] |
RE: Tranny rebuild
Maybe next month.;)

RE: Tranny rebuild
Well, after today, the disc brakes got pushed back til next month. There is a mustang restoration shop in Oklahoma City (hour drive). I had to go there to get the tranny rebuild kit. Well, the mrs. had to work so I went by myself, and I apparently have a lack of self control:D Almost $400 later I leave. And I still need to get the bands for the tranny cuz they dont come in the rebuild kit. So, everything is pushed back some.
