That's great news! Congrats. You said earlier that your dealer ordered these parts because your transmission is no longer being made? Is that to assume that they are just silently phasing out the non pump transmissions? I was also thinking about this way down the line as to how long ford was going to make tech transmissions since we are so few spread out across the 16 and 17 years ie. Many years from now when wear and tear finally break our trans.
She'll notice the $10k hit to the old bank-account.$4800 USD will translate to roughly $6K cad, ouchhh, plus all additionnal cooling hardware, misc. and labor...
Went to my dealership yesterday and was offered $60 cad for my 800 mile car with tinted windows and clear bra.
They have a '16 TP car sitting in the showroom , it is the exact same car i have.
They're asking $75428 cad, but after a bit of negociating, i was able to get the price down to $70K cad.
Still trying to make sense of shelling out another $10k cad + taxes......will wifey
approve is another thing.
But if i ever go for it, she'll never notice the difference as both cars are the same....
That's about $7500 USD. I'd be all over it to put this in my rear view mirror.
True, you make excellent points.
Just get her something shiny to distract her, like a coach purse or a new pair of shoes. She'd go for it.
You can't even imagine how many presents this woman has returned. Hell, she even exchanged her wedding ring right after we got married. Something about it not matching the engagement ring. Jokes on her the rings were part of the same set.
This should work with the FP kit designed to work with a TR3160 with a factory internal pump, yes. This transmission will have the stock fill/drain/ port plugs.
This is correct. Hopefully the price on that hardware from FP is just as reasonable as the transmission is.
I just contacted Mike at Buyfordracing again and asked about any core charge. There is none. So $2,700 (shipped) nets you an even better transmission that cost over $4,000 just a few months ago. Very reasonable pricing.
FP doesn't need your core but I'm sure you'll find a regular GT owner that is looking to ditch an MT82 for it.
To be clear, the transmission I purchased was a Tech Pack transmission and had no internal pump. So if you/they felt that this one would have an internal pump - it doesn't.

A spa/massage day gift card always works for me. :cheers:You can't even imagine how many presents this woman has returned. Hell, she even exchanged her wedding ring right after we got married. Something about it not matching the engagement ring. Jokes on her the rings were part of the same set.
You guys have it easy. It's tit for tat in my household. :shrug:
And her tit always costs more than his tat
Lmao. Run them like they should be ran. Can't imagine they will last very long at those temps anyway. Drive it like a Track car since it was advertised as one.
Dan is probably on the way to the dealer now. I would be. The wife will get over it
