And the nomination for most speeding tickets this year goes to…
I would have moved on after i realized it was a ford.
something else is already in the works.
and throwing trannys in this bitch is fun, lol. each one breaks in a new way.
HOW DO YOU STILL HAVE A LICENSE. You get more tickets then me. good luck with the trans,seriosly just sell me your v1 it is useless to you
if at first you dont succeed, try again. and again. and again? 
im telling you, chrysler 3 speed with a ford bellhousing welded on. held up for years behind a 8 sec shelby charger, 1400hp SRT’s etc.

Good luck with lucky #6
Shit…
Awesome that youre sticking with it man.
when I screw up and get caught i’ll man up and tell it like it is. She gave me a unsafe lane change ticket. I don’t have power steering This car is NOT going to be making any quick lane changes. Then after she flips the lights on and swerves across 4 lanes she almost rear ends me because apparently she didn’t get the memo that when lights and siren go on people slow down. I was pulled over engine off and completely stopped when she went sliding past me. I didn’t stop hard.
And no i wasn’t speeding. The only non falsified tickets she could have gave me would have been for loud exhaust, front plate, and no rear view mirror. Instead she made up a moving violation and said I got off easy.
So far each of my transmission has been a different failure. This one died after testing the transmissions capability for high rpm. I got my new cams installed and the top end is drastically improved. right at 8500rpm it made a bad noise, then the next day it partially failed going to Ohio. Did a quick fluid and filter change and drove it 200 miles back home.
here is the video of the high rpm ridiculousnesses

my biggest disappointment is that I wasted 35 bucks in race gas. We added a bunch of timing and it really woke the car up and then the listed events happened shortly after.
Sux man. sorry to hear that. I need to get my beater up and running soon. I hope to have my 92 at 100% next year. We’ll line them up in the spring for sure!
Damn sounded fast too… How many times is this thing gonna try and commit suicide lol…5 trannys, 1 motor, started itself on fire… You sure love this damn thing :tup:
“Taurus SHO. It’s all about endurance not top speed.” from sig
What this actually mean if it’s been through it’s 5th tranny?
That means its time to swap in a nice 5 speed.
I used to love the old 5 speed SHO’s,3rd gear was always the charm 
I love your determination with this car. Personally, I’d drop the boost, link up with a Quaife’d 5-speed, and rock that in your '89. Maybe not as quick but probably more fun.
Figure out how to make a NVG T850 fit in there with a Ford bellhousing welded on.
the sho manual tranny isnt that much better. 300 crank ft/lb limit, mostly obsolete on repair parts, and if you send out 20 gear sets for inspection, TWO will come back without microfractures … including new pieces
a few guys on shoforum are calling for a getrag f40 swap
I like my ATX honestly. The driveability is so much better on my ATX car when it works properly. I can’t imagine driving my MTX car with a turbo. Hell it is NA and it has no traction now. first spins anywhere you floor it, and second easily lights up if you try and do any kind of spirited driving in the corners. It is still a blast don’t get me wrong but for street driving my turbo ATX rocks.
My favorite thing about my old FPS tranny (2 trannies ago) was punching it from a light and watch the boost slowly build through first and when it would shift into second it would burn the tires durring the shift. Imagine a 2 second long “chirp” fun stuff.
or a 555 or a 568 or 1992+ 523 for that matter. super strong and doesnt have the occasional 2nd gear issues that the SRT trans has.

just got word that a spider gear broke OFF the diff. I will be going to atec for pics tomorrow if I can find a camera to use.
I take it your going to give the tranny another chance once repaired?
