Replying to: ethyl1 (Mar 19, 2008 12:20 pm) This confirms one part of what my SR said - that these 3 items came as a kit and none could be ordered separately. So the disk would NOT have come unless you ordered it separately. It sounds like you did do that and that Ford is screwing up royally (knock me over with a feather.) 6/3 is a long way off to be limping around. My SR did say that aftermarket parts should be available. Have u pursued that at all? I am almost positive that the LS tranny is also used in the BMW 3-series. You might try that direction. Best wishes again. Next time, we should get slush-boxes cause they break so often there's bound to be parts for em eh? - NOT

Before this discussion falls off the bottom of the earth, gotta post somethin to bump it. We LS enthusiasts already know we can't look to Lincoln for an LS replacement anytime soon, if ever. So GM is the place to look- the CTS is the best American car continuing the LS design goals. And I'm just now learning more about the next GM car that can lay some claim to these goals, and for a lot less money - the Pontiac G8. Yes, I know it's an Australian car. But it is here NOW, not in 5 years. And from what I read, it's a serious handler and has some serious oomph. This year's version is out for me since there's no manual. But they're supposed to fix that next year. A quick look thru the G8 forum here today and I think I recognize some of the posters over there from the LS glory days. From Lincoln to Pontiac? Oh well. When others were driving GTOs and SSes when I was young, I had a Mercury Cyclone, 1967 4speed. Now, Mercury is an absolute joke and Chevy and Pontiac are on the rise again. Gotta go with the flow. |

| Jeyhoe - I just got off the phone w the mechanic who is pulling my transmission as I write. The Ford regional parts rep got in touch w the vendor that makes the clutch plate, and they were supposed send it 3/28 or 3/31. Today she got a new date of 4/7, so the mechanic's going to take the worn clutch plate to a performance shop and have it resurfaced. Since I'm a casual rower I had not heard of this, but my hard core enthusiast friends say this is a viable process and an idea other owners may want to tuck away in their "surviving a manual LS kit." | |

Replying to: ethyl1 (Apr 14, 2008 11:53 am) I understand you wanting a spare clutch disk, considering this. But I'd be telling the dealer that they're on the hook for car rental expenses for every day past one week that the part didnt come in. SOMETHING to get even with these clowns. I suspect the box will say "Made in China" or "Made in Mexico" if and when it ever arrives. What a twisted situation we've got ourselves in these days.

  Hello! I just bought my 04 LS. Have had it less than a month...I love everything about as of now BUT when I shift from Reverse to Park it makes a loud kind of popping/knocking sound and shifts to park from reverse pretty harsh. Is this normal? Did I buy a lemon? If it happens to be a big problem (tranny) do I have to keep this car? I know I could ask the dealership but I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions. Am I in for alot of work to this LS? I am beginning to think I made the wrong decision..... HELP!
