  7. I think its different. they said the mounting bolts are different. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  8. I dont think it will. talking to both transmission shops, a regular transmission will not line up with it. the bolt pattern is different. It has a specail transmission, clutch assembly, flywheel, and slave cylnder "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  9. HAPPPY BIRTHDAY YOU AMAZING WOMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  10. I jumped out of a PAC 750. Was truly an awesome plane! Now I want to find a DZ with a Cessana so i can jump out of one of thoughs!
  11. The only reason i was replacing it, was because I was told it couldnt be machined due to it being dual mass. If you run the VIN numbers, it comes up with a 23 spline clutch. Thats what everyone is showing. But the 23 wont fit in Ford, only 26. I have called soooo many people. I called the local Ford dealership and they didnt have it. But he said that his screen showed one left in the US. And it was in Dallas.. About 5 hours away. I called them, and they said theres was all 23 spline. I am sooo glad I didnt make that drive!
  12. She looks nice. lol.. I posted the info 2 posts up. I have heard nothing but good things about the 4.0 engine. and she runs good. Its just this clutch issue now. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  13. From what I understand from the transmission shop is that the engine bolt up for the trany is different. I asked him about the input shaft, and he said it couldnt be changed out due to how the housing is. Even the slave cylinder is completely different. I think it would be REALLY hard and almost impossible to find a 26 spline tansmission in a junk yard... Since they only made 1000 of them. The clutch is completely wore out. and the flywheel is kinda messed up to. Two places said it couldnt be machined because it is dual mass. Im not a big car guru, so i said ok. It is a 4.0 v6 xls explorer. VIN: IFMZU62E32ZB67826.. I dont know if the first letter is a one, i or L.. is a straight line. im assuming it might be I. "In this game you can't predict the future.

  14. I talked to them.... They cant find it. The guy thought his supplier would have it.... Back to the drawing board. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  15. I called them.. they are going to see if it is in stock.. but he gave me aquote for 946.30 + shipping for the flywheel and clutch assembly. But if i can get it back running, i may take johns advice and get rid of her.. she is nice though. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  16. Nope. it has a special bolt pattern for the engine. So it has to have the 26 spline tranny hooked up to it. These vehicles ( the 1000 26 spline) were made so that they couldnt be interchanged with the 23 spline... Stupid Ford "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  17. Im trying to find someone that can machine a dual mast flywheel like this one. and it cant be interchanged with 23 spline. The whole transmission case is different. "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  18. I have a 2002 Ford Explorer XLS. It is a 5 speed standard transmission. Unlike most other transmissions it has a 26 spline clutch plate and flywheel.. The history behind it is from what I understand Ford decided in 2002 to do an experiment to go from single mast to dual mast flywheel, and have a 26 spline in it. They only made 1000 of these. and then quit supposting them! I cant find a flywheel or clutch assembly anywhere! Have any of you run into this or have an idea on what I can do. From what I understand you cant even swap out the transmissions because it doesnt bolt of the same. Thank you for any help "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds.

  19. IM still pretty new... What does it mean when you say "put me on the board for $5". At first i thought it meant load.. but then I rememberd loads are a minimum of 15 for H-A-P "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  20. i got two jumps in this weekend... and it was FREAKING COLD!!!!!!! "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  21. So i jumped there saturday. Was a really nice place! Cool people, cool enviroment. The S&ta, showed me around the DZ, and showed me the landing area. And for someone who is as shy as me, i actually got to talk to quit a abit of people, and got to do a 5 way! I botched it though. but it was my second time to do a big group jump and try and do something. the first time i did it, it broke out the door and we never got together. it was pretty cool flying in a group circle with the other people... Jumping from a PAC is nice. I love that climb rate!!
  22. Thinking about the drive tomorrow to check out skydive houston. Anyone else going to be there?? I havent been to another DZ before, so what will I need to bring? Just my Rig, alti, goggles, helmet, logbook and license should suffice... huh? "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
  23. No, its funny when you dont think really high of yourself and take yourself so seriously.. have you ever been to a comedy show?? Like THIS!!!

  24. it hurts my feelings... He was such a funny person when you just looked at it like a joke.. or stand up comedy... "In this game you can't predict the future. You just have to play the odds. "-JohnMitchell
