302Powered Posted September 16, 2006 Report Share Posted September 16, 2006 Some of you may know that I've needed to rebuild my transmission in the Mustang for a while. I finished that on Labor Day weekend. I didn't replace the clutch because it wasn't slipping or giving me any problems. (I know, I know I should have changed it.) 3 days after that the clutch started slipping. The day after that a heater hose blew on 670 dumping all of my coolant on the road. I fixed the hose that day. The next day, which was last Friday, I pulled the tranmission out and cleaned up all of the coolant from the underbody. I picked up my new clutch and the turned flywheel this Weds. I got everything back together lastnight. Today after pulling into my job I had a co worker tell me that I had a harness draging on the ground. It turned out to be my O2 harness that has now worn thru the insulation on a couple of wires. While lying under the car taping the wires and connecting them to the body with a zip tie, I notice a puddle of oil under the rear engine area. I know what it is already. I noticed a little bit of oil on the rear main when I replaced the clutch. Now I get to remove the transmission and the clutch again tomorrow. I'm begining to hate this car. Anyone willing to lend a hand tomorrow morning? I could use some help pulling the transmission etc. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

302Powered Posted September 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Rick (Grease Monkey) came and helped me out. TJ (ODB) came and gave some moral support. Rick and I found a few more problems with the car and fixed them while we were at it. I still need to do a few things but one of them requires a welder. Joe, Jason and Rob, I appreciate the thought. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it handled on Saturday. All I have left is to have some welding done and fix a drain plug leak. Thanks for the offer. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
