I was at the autox today, didnt even get to the drivers meeting, me and some friends went to the store, i shifted to thrid and it ground really bad, thought i missed it so i just went to 4th. Went back to 3rd, stick went all the way forward like it engaged, let the clutch out just ground like it wasnt even trying to engage. Thought i just lost 3rd. Decided to leave the autox got on the main road tried to goto 5th and nothing no grinding or anything. Shifter just turned to a joystick, no "gates" or anything.
Pulled over moved the shifter around, heard a clunk, looked under my car and found this under my car
Pulled my volant off and felt the shaft going into the tranny, very slight cone shape roung obviously sheard the head off that held the arm on.
You can see the damage on the fork, obviously it has been rubbing for a while.
Now, i got a 60k extended warranty and im at 59,200. Will ford fix it or will they give me [censored] about the mods. Obviously they will but if i roll in with just exhaust?
Meaning put stock air box and tb, suspension, shifter everything but the exhaust, which i cant change, will they fix it? Any advice?
If they wont fix it, what are my options, how hard would i be to replace this assembly, i dont have a picture of it, but it seems to be pressed onto the shaft. so would i have to crack open the tranny replace the arm/shaft/fork? How much are used mtx's goin for at junkyards, anyone got one for sale. Im an E-3 in the Air Force and money is SERIOUSLY tight.
Need serious help...
