OK Kiddies ... The Cougar is away getting her coat "groomed" and my other car doesn't think I should get lazy!!
Background story: I bought the 07 Mustang the day after my Cougar was shipped off to get painted. about a week maybe 2 later I noticed what I thought was a slight slip in 5th gear usually when I was getting on the highway in the AM and only once in a while. I took it to the dealer I bought it off of and it wouldn't replicate the symptom. They told me if it shows up to bring it in. Well i didnt show up until way after the warranty period was up and now is real bad.
SO .... time to replace the clutch and since I will have the trans out I might as well replace the shifter.
Rock auto is my friend ... I bought an entire clutch kit for about $100 LESS than anywhere else ... it is a Rhino pack Clutch kit which doesnt sound as sexy as the Spec or the Ram BUT I dont have 450 HP to mess around with either.
the Shifter ... I did not skimp here!! After driving IrishBullitt's car I decided that I need to look into buying an MGW ... It just felt SOLID !! The only problem is that they seemed WAY expensive ... After researching and researching and either coming up empty everwhere else or finding something that MAY work, or finding stuff that just seemed to be overpriced (cough AM cough) I decided to buy the MGW!
OK well I will be doing this Tomorrow with the help of Auto Saloon mogul Kyle J B!! (THANK YOU THANK YOU !!) ... hopefully THIS time it wont take 15 hours :nervous:
