The MTX75 is a POS. I had the first one go on me, 3rd gear syncro went first, then the gear just stopped working. Now the one i have in there now is dyeing a slow death. 3rd gear is trashed and second is on its way out. I can attribute the demise of this tranny to my Centerforce clutch. But screw it im just gonna wait till i have time to finish porting my head so i can put my new motor togeather, ill rebuild it then.
If i were you ide go buy another tranny just to save the headache, there pritty cheap. Install it and rebuild the other one, do the gear swap and a LSD if you want. since you have some power planned for your cars future it would be a good idea to have 2 on hand. one breaks (which it will ford POS) just swap the other one in and repeat the process.
