I took the cougar in to the shop yesterday, and they confirmed what I already knew. I've managed to blow the Synchros in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd gears on my Manual transmission. They recommended I find a used or rebuilt tranny, because while it would still be damn expensive, it would be a hell of a lot less expensive than rebuilding my f'ed up transmission.
So, I'm asking for advice from all of you, since I know there are people here that know a hell of a lot more about this than I. 1st, can someone recommend places they know of that sell tranny's for the Cougar? Also, what is the specific name of our manual tranny? MTX-75?
And finally... besides just adding a Quaife... is there anything better to replace a tranny with? Because I have 70k miles on the car, and am out of warranty so this is all coming out of my pocket.
Thanks,
Reagan
Edit: I can't beleive it... eBay has one. What does everyone think of this?
