You8 mean you were in reverse sawa car coiming, threw it in drive and accelerated?

How fast were you going in reverse and what does it feel like when you put it in reverse(ie shakes, no engagement, anything wierd).

wow thats def. weird, i think its the tranny. i dont know what components though.

Kiljosh · 04-01-2005, 11:09 PM

Oh, and was the pop like on a regular pattern that changed with what speed you were going. Kinda like going faster as you go faster?

yah......im guessing i grinded my gears.......if i did do that, how much is that going to cost me if its not under warranty?

STEVE · 04-01-2005, 11:22 PM

you might need a rebuild so about 1500-2000

Kiljosh · 04-01-2005, 11:26 PM

Better off just getting a t5 from somewhere and swapping probrobly.

If you have an automatic you can find kits online for 1250-1800 bucks. Manual then you prob only need the main tranny parts. You can get a used one for like 900.

STEVE · 04-01-2005, 11:28 PM

what year is your car man? i suggest doing a t-5 swap, you will need a tranny ,computer probobly modified drive shaft, clutch assembly.

STEVE · 04-01-2005, 11:30 PM

606-395-6870
call him his name is larry, he is a sponsor on another v6 mustang site and owns a mustang junk yard. he can prolly get you the parts you need for a t-5 swap.

The Arson · 04-01-2005, 11:31 PM

I know my warranty isnt up yet.....any chance something like that is covered?

Kiljosh · 04-01-2005, 11:33 PM

Uh, prob actually

I think ford has a 15k drivetrain warranty? Im not sure.

But yea, do what 232 said, you'd prob just need ...well wait, ill just grab a link have from when I was gonna swap.

I know its hard, thanks for the help though. Im going to the dealership in the morning and hoping to god my car is still under warranty

mydi777 · 04-02-2005, 05:35 AM

He said the sound is from the rear passenger side and you guys are telling him to get a transmission swap right of the bat! I don't no about you but that's NOT where my transmission is located!

Also since he said he put it in PARK, I have to assume that he has an auto.

If it is not covered by a warranty, Please don't invest in a transmission just yet!

I would have the rear axle, and differential checked out first!! Also you may have damaged your rear suspention.

I don't know how old your car is, but if you bought it at the dealership new than it should have a 3 year, 36,000 mile bumper to bumber warranty.

The Arson · 04-02-2005, 07:14 AM

it wasnt new, it was used....i know we got a warranty but i have to check if its up or not yet

**SpectorV** · 04-02-2005, 07:41 AM

if you were not going fast and you have a manual i doubt its the tranny unless it didnt go all the way in and you forced it in or something out of the ordinary it may just be your U joint or something messed up but you never know

I have an automatic

The Arson · 04-02-2005, 08:38 AM

I found out its the rearend not the tranny......so if its not under warranty ill get 3:73 other wise stocks gettin put back in......but this is good news compared to a new tranny

**SpectorV** · 04-02-2005, 09:34 AM

ford wont cover it im sure they are bad about things like taht but you never know.

i think my car is still under warranty so it might be covered, and if its not ill just get better gears put in

I wasn't trying to upset you, I sorry....

I was just suprised that the sound in the rear passanger side of the car was over looked so quickly since most of what he said had to do with the rear end.

In his first post he wasn't sure what was wrong, and was asking if it could be his transmission....
