Never take your car to those places...They will rake you over the coals.

I go back try to be calm he tells me my cars is a dog and has been since I brought it to him.......Im sorry but I have one of the fastest stock cobras there is I dont call a 13.0@107 slow for a stock 98' cobra not to mention Ive beat modded ones........He then tells me a stock gt would beat my car I am like ya wtf now it would.......When my mother shows up he tries to bullshit her and tell her everything is fine.....He said the motor troubles arnt his fault......and that all the work he did was fine(tranny clutch) I cannot even get my car going fast enough to show him the problem anymore.......

So lets see what problems I have:
1. Still grinds in reverse!
2.Cracked paint on front bumper
3.Clutch when under a load and go to hit next gear quickly basically gets stuck then decideds to unstick whenever it wants
4.Car wont rev past 5k in any gear and is very slow now when going through the rpms
5.Whistling sound that goes away when u push pedal in slightly
6. Odometer stopped working!!!

My mother just paid close to 3k for all of this and Im sorry but I was going nuts....They were trying to rip her off and told her to get my motor looked at and that she would have to pay to get it fixed.......Thats total bullshit either they fucked something up with my car or something they did with the tranny or clutch is holding the car back........

This car was in perfect shape besides the tranny the motor ran like a champion.......Car was flawless ....Im sure many people on here can vouch for how fast my car was for being stock (not very many people think it is)......I understand that all they did was do the tranny and clutch but how does all this just happen while its in there possesion........

I honestly dont know what to do......I think I am just going to have my car fixed at ford and take these other people to court and hopefully get our money back.........BTW I WAS TREATED SO FUCKIGN SHITTY THERE EVEN WHEN I WAS CALM WITH THEM..........
I do think you should of researched before you took your car there. I am sure there are a bunch of Mustang guys that could recomend you to a reputable shop that knows what they are doing.
Also for 3g you could of got a salvage one and had it put in.

As a mechainc if there was one bit of advice i could give everyone is, take your car to a shop specializes in your brand of car!! You may end up paying more for the labor but 99% of the time if the specialise it'ts becaue the love that brand or type of car and they are going to take the time to do it right.

Im sorry for all your trouble but go in to the ford tech forum and ask around and im sure you;ll find 2 or 3 good shop in the area
