need the 1st gear right now though...

Doesnt it stay in first if you put it in first anyway?and brakes are cheap compared to a tranny if your worried about burning something up i would worry about that

What are we up to? $36.00???

Longer metric grade 10.9 bolts from AA and 8 pcs of 5/8" nuts for spacers was like $8.00, for the T-case drop.

$44.00 so far, but it's like $40.00 for the 1.75" coil spacers I need. That's a damn travesty I tell ya!

Hey check this out. It is the spacer you need for 20 shipped.

Can't remember if the factory antenna is a straight one, or if it has the wire twisting up. If it is a straight one, pull the ball off the top with a pair of pliers. Cut antenna to length preferred, use a file and file down the top so the ball fits back on, and push it back on. Paint whatever color you choose. Did this to both of my mustangs, did not change how well the antenna worked either.
