Body & Interior good. FYI, never driven in the snow and barely ever driven in the rain!

Don't want to sell but nearing retirement and need the money, buying a RV (Isn't that what old dudes are supposed to do?).

I own an automatic, have been looking at the Circle D TQ... You've been in the 12's is that because of the TQ?? What stall do you have and did you have any mods done to the trans. My stock stuff I believe is shot, looking to rebuild the trans and buy bigger stall torque converter. 112,000 miles on it.
Good luck on the sale.

I called and gave them my car info and they told me what I needed. I talked to Brian Burns at Circle D. No Trans mods done.

Here's the order info:

SKU: 30-11-04-4C
Product: Ford 245mm Pro I 4R70W Torque Converter-245mm Stage I (Chosen Size: 3600-3800 RPM 4C)

Yes, the TQ made a huge difference!! You'll need better tires, even before the TQ install there was no traction, however, after the TQ install I just blew the rubber off the stock tires.

Thanks for the info.
I currently am using Mickey Thompson DR's. They hook, did you uggrade this clip I hear talked about? It's a week link I hear mentioned on the registry, some sort of spring clip is the cure. Any idea what this part might be.

Re: 03, Torch Red, Auto, Pittsfield, MA, 65K Miles
 

Not sure what clip you are talking about. Since I don't know what it is, I'm going to say, no, probably not changed.

Re: 03, Torch Red, Auto, Pittsfield, MA, 65K Miles
 

Hope you don't mind the questions... Thank you for the info, BTW.

Did the TQ Converter fit the stock flex-plate bolt pattern? Anything I should know about that I might need to change or run into? Going to have the stock trans rebuilt.

Re: 03, Torch Red, Auto, Pittsfield, MA, 65K Miles
 

No issues at all.
