UPDATE:New Clutch
Looks like I have to step up my timetable for repairs this summer - clutch is gone. Got an estimate from the local mechanic for $1350 (12 hrs. labor) - this sound right? I'm down in VA - might Triple AAA it over to Excessive Autosports (Only work on mustangs) if the estimate is off - if anyone can lemme know what it's costed you I could get a better idea of where to go from here. Thanks fellas.
Well, the clutch is in, and DAMN. What a difference - I really wasn't aware how bad my clutch was before, but now I can see how busted it was. On the downside, I don't have the $$$ to do exhaust so they threw on a few phalanges that had come loose and tightened everything up: conclusion: less raspy (cause the exhaust was loose and trashed it sounded actually not bad) and more sounding like a 4.6 - lets just say the borla, bassani, and manifolds will be on their way as soon as possible! Thanks for all the input - thankfully that is the last job my local mechanic is doing, it's straight to Excessive (mustangs only) for everything else now. Peace.
