Default I'm selling it.

So, I really am. I can't afford it anymore. The constant headaches are not for me, I don't have time to work on my car and I have no money cause I'm trying to save for college.

Here's the story of this little GT

I bought it at 18k miles from this old ex-marine who was seriously tired of driving manuals, and by 20 I had blown the first tr3650. at 26000 miles, my second tr-3650 went (I came to find out they ******* lied to me and had it rebuilt at 20k miles). I put a tko-500 in it and called it a day. Then the clutch went out at 36000 miles. (MY BAD ). Then, 7k miles later, my new clutch went out! The place where I got my god damned clutch installed ******* didn't torque it down, so it was ******* not even contacting correctly. SO, I put a new clutch in MYSELF. Six thousand miles later, last week, a bolt came lose in my rear end. I was so worried i blew the tranny I didn't wanna drive it (it was still drivable, the rear end just popped like nobody's buisness), so I payed 200 dollars for a tow to my mechanic. It didn't do any damage to the ring gears and pinion, but they still charged 400 bucks to take it apart and put it back together. Now my rear end whines like a ************ (After we fixed it).

I don't have the money to keep my baby. I can't keep working on this thing over and over and over. I'm tired.

Anyway, I'm selling her.

I'm gonna get in another though... I can't imagine my life without a mustang.

God willing, my next car will be another mustang. But my parents aren't to fond of them, due to this one.

Sounds like you need to do the work yourself.

Take your car to psi motorsports. I refuse to take my car anywhere else. Pat is the best tuner in Houston and probally all of South Tx. I recentlly blew my stock auto and had a new built lentech street/strip auto tranny , 3600 multidisk converter, and 3.73's all put on my car labor + all parts for almost 5 grand and I have no complaints at all.
