Most auto part chains, carry just the gear kit. I'm not sure if the Mustang motors are the same as the F150s, but I've replaved the plastic ***** in the gear drive with 1/4" X 20 nuts, and it works great, the downside is, the manufacturer uses plastic for a reason, safety. The plastic ***** are designed to shear if you get your fingers caught in the window. The 1/4" nuts are not forgiving!!!!

Ouch! I put a new motor in it got it at Oriellys. I kept the old one might rebuild it and ebay it for $20 bucks. Only thing is the new motor goes up and down slower than my drivers side door. Do they build some that turn slower?
