Well I have been experiencing the typical T.O.B. problems. The squeaking sound, that disappears upon clutch engagement. But then this weekend, the clutch pedal started to come back up from being engaged, and tap dancing on the bottom of my foot. So I just relocated to the Tampa Area, and needed to get this thing in ASAP - Bill Currie Ford got me in at 8am this morning. Already as of 10:45am, I find out that I'm having to get a whole new tranny..... They need the car a few days. The service advisor didn't know specifically what it was that went wrong in the tranny, but he did say it was the T.O.B. and "something else close to that." Whatever that means, lol. So, new tranny - here we come......

It's the input shaft retainer sleeve that the TOB rides on. Mine went through 4 of them.

Overly common in my opinion.

In the future, take your car to either Brandon Ford, or Freedom Ford in Clearwater.....just my opinion.
