I'm still trying to figure how the gears fell out? Look at Eric's links and the answer to the spring is there.

I got everything back in and I'll be ed if the axles aren't at least an 1" to long!  They were supposed to be from a 98 Mustang, and a direct swap.  Bummed.

Wish I'd seen this earlier, I'd have ridden over to help out and maybe learn something. I've got a set of GT wheels I could've brought too.

Come on over.  I have to pull the axles back out cuz they are too long.  They were SUPPOSED to be 98GT axles, but are an 1" too long.  I need to measure them and see what's up.  You wouldnt happen to have any sn-95 axles would ya?

I think the only thing I've got left is the rear I bought from Chuck? out in Jay..... the TC one. The SN95 went with the ex in the breakup. Though I might still have that GT rear that was supposed to go in it too, been awhile since I dug through my storage room.

They're most likely 99-04 axles, then.
