So, if I get it pulled out and shipped off. What kind of turn around time am I looking at?
Man, this sucks! I just got the car and was hoping to drive it for a while before I had to sink a bunch more $$$ into it. (Perhaps that is why the car sold so cheap!!) It has proven to be very rust free and it runs like a top -it shows signs of abuse but is still a great car. Guess I will bite the bullet and pull out the trans!
Thanks for all the replies!!
Look at the bright side here now. How much would it have cost you to get flatbeded in (you can't tow the Pantera without bending it up pretty good). More the likely the ring gear bolts are loose.
I can't believe this ring gear business. I have beaten the living daylights out of a lot of American muscle cars and I have never seen or heard of ring gear bolts failing.
The Ford 9 inch, if anything, are a major knuckle knocker to get apart.
I can't knock the Italians on the ZF because it isn't Italian, it's German.
This is shocking.
If the synchros are indeed steel, I'm shoping for a new combination. This is total BS.
