Congrats on the house. My car sat for 2 years after I moved into mine. You'll see your priorities shift too, but you'll always come back to the fox!

So my trans is in, had to ship it to my shop since it was coming by freight. My buddy in our fab shop was kind enough to snap some pics of it and all, I'm really excited for this winter to get this thing into the mustang and all. Anyways here is my new tci streetfighter transmission!

The box seemed to be a little unnecessary in size if it was a little longer they could've put it in a box half it's size oh well. Even the box the dipstick came in was ungodly

Noobz347 · Sep 12, 2014

Judging by your CT, you're used to large boxes?

MikeH686 · Sep 12, 2014

Noobz! I'm sorry I should've asked if you wanted these big boxes before i threw them away, I know they are bigger then your current box house lol

True enough... I could have used my current boxes as the servant's quarters.

No... No I don't. You threw them away!

They'll just have to continue sleeping over the man-hole cover.

Manhole is such a filthy word.

MikeH686 · Sep 12, 2014

Would steamy man hole be any better?

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't "re" rail this thread until tomorrow when I get time to show off the pretty trans

MikeH686 · Sep 20, 2014

MikeH686 · Sep 22, 2014

Thanks buddy, you guys coming down to Mir anymore this year?

MikeH686 · Dec 14, 2014

So I was able to find some time to put this transmission in last night at a buddies house. Got the old trans out in about two hours had to remove the passenger side header to fit it in. Upon removing the clutch and flywheel I took a pic, how does the wear look on the flywheel and clutch face to you guys?
New trans and flex plate ready to go in, good thing there was a third person to get this bear in. That thing was heavier then I thought.

After getting this thing in I realized I forgot to get a new crossmember so with it bolted up and the converter locked down that's all I'm waiting on. One question though @84Ttop @srtthis with the converter bolts how much do I tighten the lock nuts down? Just curious really

84Ttop · Dec 15, 2014

I use an impact gun on the flex plate bolts and gorilla tight on the convertor bolts. If/when that stuff comes loose you'll swear the bottom end of the motor is falling apart, lol. Did you check convertor spacing? I'll target to pull the convertor off the pump 1/8-3/16 of an inch and use precision ground washers to get there if needed

MikeH686 · Dec 15, 2014

Yeah I ended up with about a little over an 1/8" spacing between the two why do they tell you to have a gap if all your gonna do is snug it up to the flex plate anyways?

srtthis · Dec 15, 2014

i pretty much do the same way Nick does them... impact for the flex plate with blue locktite then for the converter 1/8-3/16" converter spacing and get them as tight as i can.
