I don't know much about tranny's, but if you need help, I'll come lend a hand. I wanna learn more stuff anyways, so there's no better way to learn!

I appreciate that, but keep in mind I myself am just learning, spending every free day working on my car.
I'm thinking.. what am I going to do with my life when the car is finally fixed, my routine will fall aparat

Well two brains, is always better than one right? Yeah, I agree. I'm hoping to get a decent scholarship so I can get a second car, then the SVT is getting completely rebuilt. So I have a while of planning and dreaming.I appreciate that, but keep in mind I myself am just learning, spending every free day working on my car.

Complete rebuilt is what I'm doing, hehe. You're welcome to come by any Sunday and have a look. The reason I don't ask for hands-on help is because I don't expect anyone to have patience as I clean and restore every little piece
. And some of the guys here already did sacrifice a lot of their time to help with my timing belt job which was a very problematic one.

I can't. Unfortunately we tore out whatever was left of the old bushing, so now the car isn't exactly driveable. I just read about sope hyper socket tools, so I'm gonna try to get some tomorrow. Hopefully can get a ride to the store from a friend.

Yeah, I should be able to figure something out. It seems as if anything that could go wrong when I'm working on my car, always in fact does..

Just bought my third Focus. CenTex owner. 02 ZTW. Leather, 5-speed, 98k miles. Owned it maybe a week now and already ordered some parts. Can't wait to lower this baby and get some REAL mods on it!

I believe that is the one he used to do the trans in the SVT. Since he got the trans fixed I would say it worked pretty well for him. Better than trying it by hand.

Went and bought some turbo socket things from Advance Auto Parts.. Both me and my step dad just can not get the one bolt out. Anybody have any idea on what else I can do?

show us photo of the stripped bolt?
what i did was to use the smallest socket you can fit, even if you need to hammer it a little on the bolt, then have someone push on the socket pretty hard to make sure it wont slip up, while you slowly move the braker bar.
and make sure you turn in the right direction

it's simply worthless. I'm putting it back together as best as I can and driving it very slowly and carefully to my mechanic tomorrow. Hopefully I'll get it figured out.show us photo of the stripped bolt?
