This is the email i received today from Terry Haines, The gist, i have a 2004 tranny in my 2002 Focus, and that is the way the car was built. WTF!!! :evil:

Up until yesterday we were on track.One of the badly
damaged gears(reverse,burnt up etc) I didn't have in
stock.The gear was ordered re 2002 level,re trans assy
number etc.The gear Ford supplied was incorrect.After
checking and going over tooth count,pitch etc it turns
out that some gears fitted in the 2002 MTX's were at
2004 level...these later gears are not the same.Parts
in some of these gearboxes were used as a 'line trial'
for later design parts!No reference on the trans or
tech data!.I now have a correct part number re gear
count/pitch etc(after a chat with my old buddy Carl in
Ford transmission...Germany!)....The gear is going to
be sent on emergency from the USA Ford Ntl parts
depot...it 'may' make it here today,worse case
monday.I had the same issue with line trial boxes some
time ago on the V6's...again no reference on a any USA
parts list.I'll keep you posted.TH

Rod's trans has some 04 trans parts in it, ford was being dumb fucks like they have been for a few years now, and, Terry, the guy that is rebuilding his trans, has to wait on a part for Rod's trans before he can finish it so Rod can play again.

Rod is having some trans work done, IIRC, slick shift forks, cryo internals, new synchros, his quife is going back in, there was something else to I think...

I need to get a set fo the FRPP gears and torsen LSD and clutch for my trans.

It's coming, it is at the DHL in town here. Should be delivered to my work tomorrow. This time it is real. No fake reports of it being done. You'll see it on the road in a weeks time. :twisted:
