      Eric,

      I know that with the fairmont project you mentioned you are converting it over to a Manual transmission. I recently found a video by Stacey David’s Gears in which swaps over a transmission on a Fox Body. What would you do differently?

        I am under the impression that most anything to do with the Fox Body Mustang applies very closely to the Fairmont/Zephyr.

        I am a big manual transmission fan, so I have changed a number of cars from auto to manual. Early on I learned that if you want a frustration free project, have the donor car close at hand during the project. There are almost always some small parts that will be very consuming to find if you don’t have the donor car. In this particular case, however, there is so much stuff on the aftermarket, I expect that you can have most everything in hand from catalogs.

        Good luck and keep us posted.

          I’m not sure I understand the question. Honestly I didn’t have time to watch the video but I’ve already built the transmission for the Fairmont.

              I’m sure you got an award in school for paying attention.

                    Mistakes? Are you saying I made a mistake with the transmission? Have you seen it installed in my Fairmont yet?

                    I believe we went through great pains in the video to mention I was going back in to replace those parts before putting it in my car. Is this somehow beyond comprehension? Or are you just trying to be a smarmy prick?

                        Apologies if I misunderstood. I’m a bit confused. Are you also Kableguy?

                          I haven’t used this site on mobile, but at least one poster had the “tapatalk” thing under his post. I would guess the confusion is the mobile version probably isn’t showing post quotes.

                            Kableguy is been disrespectful to Eric for what he says.
                            I can see why Eric getting upset .
                            I have had many apprentices and there’s always one that’s a pain.
                            At the end of the day we all know you have car running great
                            And there just jealous.
