Post Dropped off the beast for the trans

Well I dropped off my baby to check out the trans on her. It hasn't got any worse, but its pretty bad. The guy said next week sometime that he would have it done for me. I can't wait to get her back already and its only been two days without seeing her. Wow this is hard. It will all be worth it when I can drive it again.

Have any of you guys ever had any trans problems at all.

Just went through a new rebuild on my tranny last week,i would highly reccommend a new valve body kit and new clutches if needed,all of this will be under $400.00 for ford's cost.I just hope they fix your truck quicker than they did mine,they had my truck for 2 weeks mostly just sitting out back behind the service dept.

I heard that yours got done too.

There supposed to put a newly rebuilt trans in mine also. My guy said maybe by the end of this week but most likely the begining of next week for it.

How is the rebuilt working for you?
any problems?

Hope the fix goes well...Any idea if this fix will last or will you be right back in there a few months down the road?

And RTKILLA,you've been thrown a "punk card" over at svtperformance.com ,just thought you might want to defend yourself bro.
