Thread: Should have listen to Tech

Tweet

Anyway I had earlier asked for a 4spd manual soup to nuts for 1969 Ford LTD cloned as Cobra with 500+ hp 390. I had originally planned on going witth 4spd auto to offset steep 4::11 gear but decided on 4spd. manual instead..Tech had told me where to go and not to buy from private individual if possible. Well I didn't listen and bought one privately owned from oa 1968 Montego GT. Since I'm out of country in Puerto Rico working. My mechanic went and picked up and installed it. Well that in itself was nightmare as nothing lined up or went right for entire installation . So it was installed and trans has numerous. problems (though he did not say what problems were exactly )and now needs to come out and be gone thru completely. He didn't go thru it as he was told that trans had been gone thru 5, 000 miles ago. He also though as I did and like I told Tech top loader like C-6. is damn near bullet proof. Live and Learn!!
