Cool, I am looking at getting into the entry level dirt track racing next year.  I did the demolition derby two seasons in a row.  It was a lot of fun but it kind of burns me to put all of that time into a car then have to throw it away after a few times and start all over.  Not to mention the demo stuff is pretty hard on the body.  I felt like somebody beat the  out me with a ball bat after the last time.  Good luck with your future races.  Jason.

When I read the bart about the body, I thought DUUUHHHH yea. Then I realized you meant the personal body....

from my reading and compairions, the 87-88 TC tranny is identical to the 87-93 2.3L stang trannies, which are definatly weaker, and have the longer and narrower input shaft

O.k. heres a question,is my tranny a 26 spline or a 10? Is the longer input shaft a problem?if it is a 26 can i buy a 26 spline 10 or 11 inch clutch to match the tranny?  I believe the mustangs call 4 a 11 inch 10 spline.Is that right?
