My transmission has a little problem, now, but it is on the way of being fixed. As of right now, it has a problem that consists that is with the transmisson not going into first and second gear, I know it is not the sycronizers, I think it has to do with a blown gasket or seal,beacuse it also leaking gear grease. My fully molded body kit, which is a Shogun, is a little bit cracked in the front.
This car is extremly quick as it sat stock, but when I then added the percformance modiications, whew, it's a fast little 6 cylinder. I ran a 14.2 w/o the nitrous, then when I cracked open the bottle it ran a 12.25.
No denying that you haven't had fun, but there are also no surprises in your mechanical problems:
The probe is built on a Mazda 626 platform - the component design and strength of everything from the driveshaft to the brake mounts is designed for grand touring (effortless cruising), not quarter mile sprinting.
At 150,000 miles my 24V is the most reliable ford I have owned to date. I don't drive it gently, but I do feed it good gas and change the oil regularly. I'll never touch nitrous again now that I've seen the effects it has on piston rings.
