Well my mechanic changed my u-joint and tailshaft seal and drained old fluid and put in Royal Purple Syncromax. $170 I got the car back and it leaks more than ever!

Took it back and he changed the yoke with a ford piece and put in another tailshaft seal. $130 got car back yesterday and it looks like it still leaking. i'm also getting smoke from my 2 center a/c vents for the 1st time.

what do you guys suggest? you had mentioned in an older post that it could be a worn tailshaft bushing....i don't know much bout trannies but i don't believe this can be changed w/o ripping out the tranny correct?

now i've spent $300 and have gotten nowhere. this stang is starting to rust in the rear wheel wells, hatch, and even the trunk floor. this is the kind of spending i wanted to avoid and getting discouraged. any advice?
