FYI, if the weather holds up this weekend, I'm planning to pull the transmission out of the 89 for a rebuild. I'm going to try this myself with the help of the manual I downloaded, the Ford manual and a video from Hanlon. I thing D&D will get the nod for the kit so here's hoping I can get it all back together. I have about 4 weeks to do this before the boy drops by on the way to Pensacola. I'm really hoping it works. The thought of that long face he'll give me if the transmission is scattered all over the garage when he gets here is more than I can take. Then again, the thought of all those parts scattered all over the place is depressing too. Oh well, here's to pieces parts.
