[QUOTE="NateDogg, post: 15435768, member: 148312"] I try to stress this to as many people as possible.. I recently got hosed because I was in a RUSH to get a car I've wanted a long time. GET A LEAK DOWN TEST...At minimum get a compression check. Go pick up a compression tester and do it your self when you go look at it!!Take the car to a ford dealer, have them throw it on a lift and do a "used car inspection" I've had 3 of these cars, and the first two that I bought I took my time go the test done to ensure the motor was strong and ready to go. The ONE time I didn't cost me alot of money. Anyway, the modifications seem good. Unfortunate that the tranny is acting up. I would suspect the car has had a bigger blower before (like mentioned above). Which isn't a terrible thing. If the deal is good enough, and the leak down test comes back good, I'd pick up a stock t56 and throw it in there. You'd probably be able to recoup alot of the money selling that tranny as is.
