Gear install update * So Rowe Ford Westbrook did the work for $500. There was a humming coming from the rear while I drove it home. Jacked it up and the rear FRPP Girdle had dented pushed in the body where the spare tire impression is also one of the girdle cover allen head screws was pinching off the fuel line. I took a 5lb sledge and banged in the body to clear the girdle. Doesnt look like anything serious but I will replace that part of the fuel line so I dont break down. Should I say anything to the garage?
Myself Fred(Fearno1) and Bryan(Gaslight) are still local and have Mustangs. Will be until april or later before mine is on the road again.
Fred I might be calling you about helping to take the tranny out. I tried one last time to get the passenger side long tube up in, un bolted the tranny mount and took off the motor mount but there is just no way its getting up there with the tranny in the car. Depending on the weather but not this weekend but the one after I might attempt it then if it is not to cold out. I want to get the rear end done and back in the car first just so it is a bit more stable. There is 4 jack stands holding it up now but Id feel a lot better w/ the rear end in the car and the jack stands under that when it comes to being that far under it and yanking and pulling the transmission out.
The extended outlook for the weekend after this one looks quite nice. I plan on having my rear end done sometime during the week and either pick it up on friday or the same day I drop it off either mon/tues. So if your not doing anything that weekend Fred we can throw the rear end in and yank the tranny out.

Just keep an eye on this thread. We usually make plans thru this thread. Also post up here if you have any ideas or are doing something.
Yeah saturday looks like the warmer day. The rear end is going off to Ford Tomorrow to get rebuilt so should be good to go. I still have to take the UCA's out but thats just one bolt I'll prob take those off tomorrow or friday.
Damn I have no idea why your quote was so much more. Even the sheet they printed out for me to sign said $440 on it. I'm not sure if there is tax added onto that but its still a big difference then what they quoted you for. I dropped off the rear end with it fully disassembled so all they had to do was press on the new bearings and then re assemble it and get it all within spec.
WTF is up with all the gas stations in the windham area and beyond not carrying 87 or 91 octane fuel? Had to put gas in the STI tonight and I had to put regular in it which I have never done but I had no option. Anyone else have this issue where they are?
BTW Fred I'll call you friday with my address.
