Any idea what that cost to fix?

SilverBullet98

prob anything from ford would be atleast 250-300 bux just for the valve body itself. in which im sure no place has that it in stock. could be more, or a bit less

my car just started doing that today. except when i floor it to pass someone on a 2 lane road, it revs really high and then drops into passing gear and i am afraid of breaking a u joint. also when i stop and hit the gas and the car is in overdrive it doesnt move, it acts like it is in neutral. my fluid level is fine.

Yeah, my car is doing that same thing too... I found this and i think this is the problem. http://www.stangnet.com/images/stori...s/97-11-11.pdf Anybody else think this is it?

I took my car to a trans shop today and he said that my trans is garbage. He said it would be cheaper for me to buy a new one or take the chance and do a 5 speed conversion. He said all the clutches were fried, and that i possibly have some broken gear teeth.

Does anyone have a 5 speed for sale?

Well thats never good news... I was thinking about doing a swap anyway, but I'm in college right now and don't really wana spend then money to do it, or atleast i didn't want to pay someone to do it. While we are on the topic, anybody know the parts list for a swap?

Just outa curiousity j rod... do you think your issue is from wear or are u putting some aftermarket power to the ground... cuz thats what i'm doing, and i'm a bit concerned i did blow the tranny...

swarthyfellow we are both in the same situation with school and a tight budget. i believe mine is from wear. I havent added any performance parts to the car yet be sides my ignition system. I have a slew of aftermarket parts waiting to be installed. but a parts list to do the trans swap would be nice.

I believe we need: Trans w/bellhousing, clutch kit w/flywheel, flywheel bolts, clutch & brake pedal assy, shifter w/boot, clutch adjuster w/cable and quadrant, and plug in the clutch pedal saftey wire.

That sounds like a good start to the parts list.... I know that you also have to trick the stock computer or replace it for the manual. I have a sniper tuner that can do that for me. I have heard that you can do the swap for about $1000 pre-labor if you can find some good used parts.
