Whenever i've tried to break the tires loose, its always the rear passenger tire, never the other that i have noticed.

Whats wrong?

yeah you'll notice it...you'll be able to drive away w/ more than 1/2 throttle

do a gearset...4.10's my choice.....and have them rebuild it or fix whats broken.

gears are about $400 labor + parts, and while they are in there , if the clutches are burnt up it's just the cost of parts, carrier is about $200 if it's broken

When you get the clutches replaced you will notice a difference in traction. It will hook better. If you get new gears at the same time, your car will be a whole new monster. Gears are the best bang for the buck you can buy.

I wouldn't have just any mechanic do a gear swap. Find a shop with some experience or that specializes in gears. The backlash must be set correctly when installing gears.

Well there is this performance shop here, some guy owns it and all of his friends and their friends hang out there. I dont think hardly anyone buys stuff, they just work on their cars. Its like a gang, But i hear they are a bunch of asses. Well i went up there with a friend who knows them, with my white mustang, they were cool to me.

Its that kind of place where you have to know the people.
Also there is this other 5.0 that hangs out there, our cars are pretty much the same, except i have a bigger hood, but his is supercharged and much faster.
Some of the people at the shop have seen my stang and give a strange look, but the 5.0 guy waves at me and is cool.

But my friend told me that if i get to know em, they will help me with my car.
Hook me up with parts etc.

Think i could get to know em and buy my gears and rebuild stuff and have them help me out?

Also do you think i could just roll up in there by myself? Talk to them and get to know em?
They werent asses to me, they must bash the ricers only i guess.
