No worries. I didn't assume you were pissed. As I tried to explain, this guy has been very very helpful. But he asked me not to post the TSB because they aren't supposed to hand them out, so I won't. He has always gone the extra mile to try to find out the facts about these types of situations and has always been willing to share what ever information he could find. He has NEVER given me the line...oh they all do that. He is very pro customer, and doesn't always agree with Ford's policies himself. I'm defending him - not Ford. I just wanted to make that clear.

The foreman called me today, and said he had just heard that the parts (adapter plate) are not available from their (tier II) supplier yet. (Since they are a tier II supplier, that tells me the parts are most likely not coming from Tremec.) They have my flywheel and clutch pack, but not the adapter plate. There were only 7 parts (or so) out of 120 ordered in that 8/4 order that shipped. At least I think that was the number he told me. They (Ford) have ordered an additional 120 parts, but no word at all as to when they will be available now. Just have to wait it out. If I hear anything new, I'll post it. Just thought I'd let everyone know the latest word I've heard on this problem. Stang2WRX...have you heard anything?
Ditto...Flatbed comes in the morning to take mine away.Originally posted by flyn high again

Well, mine went in today to get the revised parts installed. I wish I knew exactly what all was included in that. Funny thing is, if they use the TOB in this new kit, that will be my second brand new TOB in about 3 weeks, lol. They just better have it done by the end of tomorrow. It's not that big of a job.
Well, they do have to take out the entire transmission, and do whatever else that involves, to replace the TOB/Retainer Sleeve. Kinda big job in my book.

With a lift, and the tools they have at their disposal, it shouldn't take any more than 5-6 hours, tops. The problem is that usually, they won't dedicate the technician to the job until it's done. They have to work on the car for a few hours, then go help with another job, then come back and work on yours, etc....
I think it should be done in one day, but I'm not counting on it. I'lll be lucky to see mine by Wednesday night, I bet. I'm just glad I was able to get the parts.
