Author Topic: Just when it's runnin' great... JohnB Tech Moderator Member # 969 posted                              ..the Cobra coughs up third gear on the 2-3 shift. I'm out running errands in it all day, on the way home..literally a mile from the house.. BOOOM! I'm like, WTF? Oh ya...clack-clack-clack. God forbid you come to a complete stop, it locks up in every gear. The best part? The car is NA right now..the S trim isn't even hooked up. What a fukkin' New Years present. Guess it gets a stock T-5 till I decide what I wanna do. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : DropTopFox drama Member # 1689 posted                              TKO -------------------- Go out and do something for yourself today everyone, quit depending on others -Me http://www.CaliforniaFords.com/cgi-bin/album.pl?album=00001689 Posts: 4003 | From: San Bruno | Registered: Aug 2002  |  : JohnB Tech Moderator Member # 969 posted                              Uhhh...ya...it WAS a 3550. -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : Sean90GT ¯ Member # 33 posted                              Oh man, John, that sucks! Hey, at least it was near the house and not down in Pleasanton. It was good to meet you today though. And if it's any consolation my son really liked your car. We got home and he had to tell his mom that he saw a "coo wace cah" (2 1/2 year old translation to cool race car). Well, I hope that the axles work out for you. Thanks again. Sean.

You son is pretty cool, especially since he likes Cobras. Ya, I was really greatful I was sooooo close to the house. Nothing like 4 grand drops to get the car rolling..it is lockin' up if it comes to a complete stop. Something DEFINITELY went waaaay wrong in there. Oh well..no more cryin' about it, I did enough of that over dinner. Ya, hopefully it's back in action soon. I hope... -------------------- 1965 Shelby Cobra 1993 Cobra 2012 F150 Raptor 2020 GT500 Posts: 6523 | From: Orlando FL/Redding CA | Registered: Mar 2002  |  : 1SLOWLX ¯ Member # 558 posted                                 That sucks -------------------- Built Tuff with your stuff ;) Posts: 5231 | From: bay area | Registered: Nov 2001  |  : JohnB Tech Moderator Member # 969 posted                              SCORE!
