Update: Transmission is back together and TOB retainer has been replaced. It was very difficult to find the part, so, my transmission guy found someone who machines them out of billet steel. He machines most parts for the T-45 transmission from what I'm told, but he lives almost in Canada. This is why it took so long to get the part in. I could have paid double the price for expedited shipping, but, I didn't know this at the time. All in all, #ProjectBlancaStang has a new clutch, quadrant, firewall adjuster, TOB, pilot bearing, clutch plate, resurfaced flywheel, TOB bearing retainer, and a new spedometer gear to match the 3.73 gears. Now my speedo will be accurate and there will be no more guessing my speed. This process has taught me alot about patience and also about the mechanics of my Mustang. Next phase..... exhaust and windoow tint. Then, I'd like to get new factory seats as my leather is very dry and beginning to crack in spots. Oh..... I would also like to supercharge it one day but that is way down the line. I should have my baby back by mid day on the 4th. My guy is delaying his trip to the lake just so he can make sure my car gets put back together! I thought this was more than kind, and I am very appreciative. I'm also very appreciative for all of you guys and the information / guidance that has been shared with me.
I LOVE MY STANG...... the sounds, the vibrations, the ride, the smells, the EVERYTHING!
