Hello members,
After enjoing my supercoupe for a few months now, and a recent complete suspension link overhaul and geometry, I took out my Bird for a local track-day.
Few laps went well, so I tried to warm my tires with burnout... when applying a rapid declutch to create wheelspin, I heard a snap and the wheels stayed still. Three metal (aluminium) bits were left on the tarmac. It seems the rear end of my 5speed gave up.
Since I opperate my supercoupe in europe, Im not swamped with parts and spares, nor advice. Thank god I have a spare car without engine block, but with everithing else on it. I will attempt to make a working trans out of the one I have sitting in the spare car, but its been sitting there for years. I also have the official workshop manual from ford to help me.
I need help in sourcing the seals and bearings to refurbish the old 5 speed. PLEASE HELP!!!
As one of the few european Supercoupe owners Im keen on keeping my lovely musclecar alive, so any advice will be greatly appreciated.
Best regards,
Peter
