In my list of things, today I recieved the SPEC 2 clutch & Steeda Tri-Ax. Tomorrow I will overnight some 4.10s to the shop where I'm getting those 3 installed. I had ordered some 3.90s but am having problems recieving those right now so I'm just gonna go 4.10s.

Good thing you didn't get the 3.90's.
4.10's are great! Would like to have even more!

I wanted the 3.90s & I still have some sorting out to do w/ Pro 3 Industries to get my $$ back & the 4.10s will be my new gears. I'll update my sig when I know I'm going w/ the 4.10s. I should go 4.30s huh?

I took pics (still need to convert) this morning of the SPEC stage 2 clutch right before I brought my car to a shop to get the 4.10s (yes 4.10s), the clutch, & Steeda Tri-Ax installed. I'll pick it up Friday morning w/ those 3 new mods. Those will be the only mods, besides the Superchip that I didn't install myself.

busted tranny, with 3,927 mi on it it wasn't abused either..... they checked thoroughly & the parts are supposedly on a national back-order. it's a long story so i'll cut it short, they are sending a tranny off the assembly line in dearborne to make everything better. i just can't wait to get it & start the installs

It's the 3650 Tremec issue. That's the only reason I'm glad I got the T-45. No problems like that.

Weird how some T-45s have problems & others don't. But a God-awful amount of 3650s have problems & Ford knows it.

Hopefully Ford fixed it this time. Nothing like the frustration of not having the car you pay for every month.

Well as of 3PM when I spoke to my mechanic he said the clutch was in & he was working on the rear-end for the gears & should've been done w/ the shifter shortly. So I'm finally going to pick her up in the morning w/ 4.10s & no squeaky clutch.
