The car ha… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Here is one end of my driveshaft with the piece of U-joint still attatched. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - Here is the other end.

First bolt broke, second on… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And this is the other side which was a bit tricky. I thought for sure that these bolts would break. Not so! They came off just fine. There… 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - The trans pan on the old trans. Look at that, no metal shavings! 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And everything else seems fine. 2001 Ford Crown Victoria - And the new transmission, ready to go in.
