[QUOTE="RIFTER11, post: 181374, member: 8730"] well, I bit the bullet (as they say) .......... the joker that had the car before me must have only cared about pimpin, 'cause he sure as hell didn't know how to take care of this car. all in all I have replaced the clutch ..... the trans is out of a 99 GT (had to swap the tailshaft housing and speedo p/u) ....... and now I find out that the grease in the rear end has depleted to nothing. I am rebuilding the whole 3rd member. Not taking any shortcuts. Parts list as follows: FRPP 3.73 gearswap kit from 5.0 Resto (gear set, shims, bushings, seals, some bearings, grease, trac-lok additive) FRPP carbon Trac-Lok rebuild kit New OEM spider gear set ALL new bearings, seals, pinion yoke, u-joints, and balanced drive shaft. oh yea .......... the other stuff that is going in at the same time ........... Eibach Pro-Kit lowering springs (1.5 - 2" drop) Energy Susp. spring isolators (all 4 corners) Mustang Wheel Spacers 1" aluminum kit (rear only) The car will have undergone major transformation as of Labor Day ............ gonna look and feel like a totally different car baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D [/QUOTE]
