2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The first pic I took when I got home when I bought the car. It was dark so you can't see that much. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The car from the driver's side. Yes the tires came with it. :) 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Car from the passenger side. I need to get the door mouldings. Definately don't want to pay $150 to Ford. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Can you sot the only defect on this car? 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Going down to Champaign a the rear u-joint bracket on the differential failed causing the drive shaft to drop at about 100+ MPH. The car ha… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Here is one end of my driveshaft with the piece of U-joint still attatched. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Here is the other end. This joint fared a little bit better than the other one. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The real trouble starts when you look underneat the car at the trans.

Good thing it didnt do much dammage. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The stripped and destroyed nut of doom. This is why I cant really sell the torque converter from the old trans. This nut looked different t… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - This is the extent of the dammage to the trans housing. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The back of my engine. Notice the screwdriver scratches on the flywheel. You have to move that torque conveter somehow. :) 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - You have to remove the catalytic converters to get at the bolts on the trans. This is how one of them came off. First bolt broke, second on… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And this is the other side which was a bit tricky. I thought for sure that these bolts would break. Not so! They came off just fine. There… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The trans pan on the old trans. Look at that, no metal shavings! 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And everything else seems fine. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And the new transmission, ready to go in. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Oopse
