I hear ya all but like said money is real Tight. 1650 I just managed to scrap up also. Like said its all comen bak out when the engine gets mild work done in a month or 2. the fact is we only got 1 car so makes it hard with my little one an that.

When the box comes out again also it will be getting tricked up aswell. I no it might cost me that little more again but I can't help it at this point. Engine is prob gunna get a freshn up an what ever else I'd ned for a raptor to go on. :) thats my forseeable future anyways lol.

Bad luck with needing it rebuilt mate. Always better to rebuild IMO. At least the box can get set up better than a new stocker (isn't hard) and if the builder knows the box it will perform well and be strong without alot of money wasted on showy parts that are un needed.

Roller shafts conversion is a good cheap mod. It also allows you to utilise the existing reaction carrier by sleeving the spline. Should save you $500 right there and the stocker is much lighter than the beast so it will drain less power.

Yeh its a shame, you could tell he new it was there fault but didnt want to admit it. but like I said he ended up going leave it with me. When I get a call I better not hear a price at the end either. If he goes oh k no worries ill fix that in the 1st place I would'nt have cared. Altho it totally ***ed my weekend up
