      Default I need help in Az

      I have a bad 3rd gear in my T5. I've been looking for a T5 to swap in but either have trouble locating one local or when I check it out they look questionable at best. I'm really broke and would love to trade some things for a T5. I can't afford to take car off road for long so I was hoping to get a good T5 to swap in and rebuild the one I have now when money permits.

      I have a 9" rear with unknown gears. only spins one tire so no posi.
      I have a C4 trans.
      I also have a 71 302 from a truck. has 2 barrel carb and new Accel street billet distributor. Runs but needs timed and carb adjusted.

      If you have a known good T5 or know someone who has one and wants to work a deal let me know. I will bring entire truck so you can hear/drive to confirm my parts are good. May be willing to trade entire truck for the T5.

      I posted this in the WTT/free section but I was hoping maybe someone here would know someone who knows someone looking for some stuff.

      Please help. I drive 60 miles a day and 3rd gets skipped due to grinding. To get into reverse without grinding I have to go into 5th first and I really have to stand on the clutch pedal to get it into 1st and 2nd. clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing and clutch cable where all replaced a month ago. trans makes a bad whine at 75 mph. Every day I get to work is a miracle for this trans.

      Tucson works for me. I need to get my rear to the VA hospital there anyway. Heck I have family in Casa Grande and a couple friends in Tucson I should look up. Now that you mention it I may go just to take a little trip out of town. Not in the Mustang though. It wouldn't make it.

      Okay, I will give him a call tomorrow and let you know!

      While you are there can you stop at Eegees for me and tell me how good it was so I can remember?!

      EEgees is pretty good. I eat lunch at the one on Valencia just east of Country Club once a week.

      I love 'em! Used to go to the one you are talking about and the one on Golf Links/Kolb and the one on Broadway/Camino Seco all the time!

      Not to derail the thread but what is this months flavor?

      More like a fast food/deli settting. You can get their grinders (sub sandwiches) hot dogs, chili fries, ranch fries, and the mythic Eegees drinks! It is like a slushy but quite a bit thicker.

      On another note still standing by to talk to my buddy, he is at work right now should be able to let you know what he has in a couple hours!

      Cool. I appreciate the help. I stopped using 5th today. 5th howls really bad at 65mph. I can take fourth to about 70-75 ish just fine aside from high RPM's and poor gas milage.
