Yeah, we should be moving in this next month. More worried about getting our other horses happy than driving the cobra, but I hope to cruise around as much as I can.

Will do Mark! I tend to laugh at myself as much as I do at others, so that's why this thread is here. So we can all laugh when it was a $40 part that kept the car down for almost a year and a half. lol

I live with that truth every day. Just wish I could find someone dumb enough to trade me for a lambo or something. I'd do anything for one.

Talked to Johnathan and Robert several times today, and they told me the throw out bearing split in half and wedged it's self up between the clutch, flywheel, ect.

So far these are the parts going in to fix her up.

-Spec 3+ disk and pressure plate, w/soft feel option (New throwout Bearing, and Piolet bearing)
-Steeda adj clutch quadrant
-New Ford clutch cable
-New 03/04 Cobra alum Flywheel

Thanks again to G-Force for taking the time to work on my car. It's a little weird, but that car is my baby and they are the only people I trust to have it.

Looks like the 40 dollar part messed up a bit of stuff. Atleast G-force will have it ready to roll soon. Congrats on getting it fixed.

He's going to let me drive it again and see if I can reset my current burn out record from Jack N The Box on 528 and 518 until Winding Way on 528... This is after he told me NOT to do any beating on the car. My **** eating grin when I walked in my parents house didn't help which followed by the story and my brother coming in and saying he saw the Cobra bellowing smoke off the tires as it went by Whataburger.
