Finaly Stang is on road again with new NEW TKO500 transmission PICS here
Well like everyone knows on May 27th '06 i broke my T5 ,two weeks leter on June 15th '06 i got TKO500 from ProMotion , when UPS delivery tranny in box i saw one little hole on one side so i opened box, butdidn't see anydemage on that that side (it was tail shaft side)
Later on today i find out tranny was stuck in gear so i called Walt at ProMotion to talk with him about it
He told me somewhere in shippment UPS drop box and it get stuck in gear and it was easy fix,just pull one of covers on top of tranny and push one gear
Same day i took tranny to guy who is doing swap and he fix that stuck gear problem
We install all parts i got from ProMotion (bellhousing,new clutch,driveshaft space .......)
We then poor tranny fluid which was GM synchromesh,we started car and i took from test drive ,2 minutes later i saw on rear wiew mirror some smoke coming on rear BUT before we instelled tranny back on i painededH-pipe with high temp paint since mine MACwas kinda rusted so i tought thet was just paint burning on
So i was cool, i come back from test drive and i tought everything was cool,untill i parked car and get out ,when i start smelling burning oil, I was WTF
ook under car when i saw oil dripping from tranny between bellhousing and front off tranny
I tought it maybe front coveron top of tranny,so wee pulled tranny out ,
Nope it wasnt copver that was leeking , it was leeking under bearing retainer, wee look at little bit closer at bearing retainer when i spot little crack ,not long ,just small that runs under bearing retainer, so wee pulled bearing retainer and BAM ,that lille crack was looong ,all way down
In about 15 min i lost 2 qt of fluid and tranny was almost empty
So i called ProMotion same day and told they whats going on,they told me i have to call UPS and fill claim with them wich i did,
A few days after UPS truck came at my house to pick up tranny and to shipped back to ProMotion in FL,then i had to make about 500 calls to who knows what UPS#
So how it get broken it was droped atend and all that weight was transfeted to rear ,and it was cracked just when wee bolt it on bellhousing crack expand
After 43 days UPS finaly decide to pay full amout what i paid for tranny and 5 days after i got another TKO500 in mail and this time UPS paid for shipping with 2nd shipment
This time no crack and no stuck in gear
I installed tranny again and now i'm on 300th miles (500 miles break in)
Shifts nice and smoth
So just to let you guys know, if you gonna buy some expensive parts and get shiped with UPS, pay more and get shipment pallet ,thatway there is less chances to UPS drop box or what ever
Here is some pics i took it
