Dunno just thinking ahead :P But on a side note was in my dads (mine just in his name) Ford Ranger tonight in Seacrets parking lot and got T-boned by a car which pushed the lower part of the truck in right infront of the drivers wheel. I get out the guys are fighting and argueing and they just LEFT. I got there tag called the cops but it reaaaalllllly ruined my night *sigh*

Are you okay? (Today, I mean - accidents like that usually take a day or so for the pain to show up.)

Yeah it was more or less he got out of the car from 4 ft away and it rolled into the truck. Maaaan oh maaaaan he is lucky it wasn't my car heh.
It's definitely not your week... That sucks.
Did their car have any damage?? :shrug:
Hopefully that gets taken care of quickly for you. Any vehicles left?

Yeah truck is still driveable you don't know the dent is there less I tell you. I also have the ole faithful Mercury Tracer I stole from my parents for gas economy a few months ago when they got a new car and just left it sitting there. :P
On a happier note I just got my Clutch in I bought from Badazzcougar or something like that. Now to just save up a bit more fundage incase there is tranny issues and take it back to the gaaaarage. *tired of driving a automatic vehicle*

EDIT: Nevermind, I saw you got one in another thread...

Wellllllll got my car back today the shifter was nothing but a clip coming off. BUUUUUT the lack of clutch turns out to be a weak pressure plate and he said that clutch actually had a bit of miles on it. Guy I got it from on here said it had 30mi I guess I am gonna have to talk to him....Either way its drivable I have it back but barely have to drop another $600 in cause of the bad pressure plate *sigh* Anyone want a cougar for $3k.....

argh, thats a shame. So, when you had the trans done you got a used clutch?

Yup got it from badazzcougar who shipped it fast and was realy nice. But I could have sworn that he said that clutch only had 30mi on it I guess I read wrong or something I can't find the post. But that pressure plate is crap on there right now...

To be honest with you, I really thought about advising you against that clutch. You bought that puck style clutch right? I don't have one on my 3L for a reason- they wear poorly, chatter, and are rough engaging. If I HAD to have one and made the power to warrant one, I would at least get a spec 3+ and have a full face clutch.
I might have one laying around you could have for free, would you want one if I did? (I'll look)

Well reason I go that one is the price. I am strapped for money now $600 to put it in can't afford that again at the moment....

Hmmm was talking to Badazzcougar who I got the clutch from. And he says it may be that they installed the clutch backwards....
