if you go with a Manuel rack just get one for a Granada..it's a 4 door stang
Is this a direct replacement or does it require modification?? How much can those manual racks be found for??

Did you do this to your Fox? $90 sure beats Flaming River's $250+.

ford uses trany fluid for p/s, the high acid content helps prevent build up.. but its highly recommended you change it out every year or so due to its high acidity... not good for seals

what the hell kind of stupid post is this? wow...

if tranny fluid wasn't good for seals, car manufacturers would be requiring tranny seal replacements yearly.
