    Well it drove up there fine... but when I went to leave it wouldnt back up.. it was like the brakes were locked up on it.. it wouldnt even roll backwards in neutral..

    Long story short transmission is ****** again.. I drove it to my bro in laws house and talked to his him and his dad that lives next door (his dad is manager of a ammco and been building transmissions for like 20 years hes the one that rebuilt it for me..)

    I dont know if yall remember when I had it rebuilt the first time it had a bad foward planetary gear which is what caused all my problems to begin with..

    When he replaced it he ordered me the steel gear for a diesel e4od so I wouldnt have any more problems with it..

    Now he thinks the reverse planetary gear ****** up and is binded up which is why it wont even roll backwards either that or the he said the reverse piston could have blown but theres no way to know untill its opened up..

    Long story short he said to pull the transmission out and whatever it is hell fix it he said hes got pretty much all the parts it could possibly need so its only gonna cost me the price of the wasted transmission fluid..

    I went ahead and pulled the trans so its already out and on his bench.. hopefully he should be able to tear it down tomorrow...

    Well the guy got my transmission for the bronco apart..

    Reverse planetary pretty much exploded.. broken peices got in everything and pretty much destroyed everything..

    Hes got most the parts but some of the bigger gears are chewed up and he dont have those.. ill get a final price monday but hes guessing 200-300 in extra parts...

    Meanwhile im stranded once again..

    Im not sure I want to sale it yet.. I kinda do but at the same time I still have plans for it... I domt want to give up on it before I even start..

    I got the bronco to be a toy.. I never meant for it to be a daily im mainly upset I cant keep the mustang in driving condition..

    I think the problem is I have 2 toys and no DD
