Gary Lewis Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Welcome, Dawson! "Ford performance mechanic"? Cool! But, what is a performance mechanic? Where in Georgia? We could add you to the map if we had a zip. Didn't you have a question about a tranny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you take an automotive course? I know there are some around but haven't talked to anyone that did. Anyway, glad you are here.
