1999 Ford Mustang Transmission Problems

I HAD A HARD TIME SHIFTING SO I BROUGHT IT IN FOR A CHECK AND AN INDEPENDENT SERVICE FOUND THIS WRONG: INPUT SHAFT RETAINER...I ALSO NEED MY CLUTCH REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS.*AK MY CAR ONLY HAD AROUND 25,000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. THE SERVICE PERSON TOLD ME THAT THIS PART WAS INSTALLED WRONG AND HUMAN ERROR CAUSED THE PROBLEM. MY BILL WAS $751.12 AND I CONTACTED FORD ABOUT THIS AND THEY TOLD ME BASICALLY TOUGH LUCK. THERE IS NO WAY A TRANSMISSION SHOULD GO BAD AT 25,000 MILES. CAN YOU LOOK INTO THIS FOR ME? I STILL HAVE THE BAD PART AND YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE THAT WAS MADE TO THIS PART. THANKS

PRE-ACCIDENT CONDITIONS: DAYLIGHT, RAINING, CAR STOPPED AT RED LIGHT. A FEW MINUTES PRIOR TO ARRIVING AT THE RED LIGHT THE DRIVER'S POWER SEAT MOVED ALL THE WAY FORWARD COMPLETLY ON ITS OWN ACCORD AFTER STOPPING AT THE RED LIGHT I RE-ADJUSTED THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED MAKING A RIGHT TURN IN MY NORMAL "OLD LADY" FASHION. ABOUT 3/4 THROUGH THE 90 DEGREE TURN THE REAR WHEELS LOST TRACTION AND BEGAN TO SLIDE TO THE LEFT. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKE AND TURNED THE WHEEL TO THE LEFT. (I SUPPOSE IT IS POSSIBLE THAT I ACCIDENTLY HIT THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON LOCATED ON THE WHEEL AT THIS TIME). ANYWAY THE CAR ENGINE CONTIUED TO REV AND THE REAR WHEELS CONTINUED TO SPIN, DRIVING ME INTO A COMPLETE 360 DEGREE TURN, ALL THE TIME WITH MY FOOD HARD ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHILE IN THIS SPIN THE REAR OF THE CAR JUMPED A MEDIAN CURB TWICE, CROSSED TWO LANES OF ASPHALT, JUMPED ANOTHER CURB AND FINALLY CRASH INTO A CONCRETE LIGHT POLE. ONLY THEN DID THE CAR STALL AND THE DRIVE WHEELS STOP SPINNING.*AK

CAR STALLS OUT WHILE IN MOTION. HAS HAPPENED TURNING A CORNER, ON A BUMPY ROAD (2" ROAD CONSTRUCTION DROP OFF), AND FOR NO APPARANT REASON. DOES NOT HAPPEN VERY OFTEN, BUT CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. 2) WHEN TRYING TO PUT CAR IN REVERSE WHILE STOPPED (COMING OUT OF MY GARAGE OR A PARKING SPACE, FOR EXAMPLE) GEAR SHIFT REFUSES TO GO INTO REVERSE. PUTTING INTO FIRST DOES NOT HELP. I HAVE FOUND THAT LETTING UP ON THE CLUTCH JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT WILL USUALLY LET IT GO INTO REVERSE. 3) SEATBELTS ARE MUCH TO SENSITIVE. JUST DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YOU CAN HEAR THEM REPEATEDLY CLICKING, LOCKING AND UNLOCKING. YOU HAVE TO MAKE ANY MOVEMENT VERY SLOWLY OR ELSE YOU WILL BE SNAPPED BACK TO THE SEAT. TURNING TO LOOK OVER YOUR SHOULDER AT TRAFFIC WILL GET YOU LOCKED IN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. MUCH SAFER FOR THE DRIVER TO GO WITHOUT USING THE SEATBELT, BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE LIKELY TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *AK

THIS IS THE THIRD PRESSURE PLATE REPLACEMENT THAT HAS BEEN PUT INTO THIS CAR. I NOW HAVE A ONE OF A KIND HAND BUILT PRESSURE PLATE BECAUSE THE FACTORY COULD NOT FIND A PLATE THAT FELL WITHIN THE FACTORY TOLERANCES. DURING THE CURRENT TIME AT THE DEALERSHIP ( APPROXIMATELY 3 1/2 WEEKS NOW) THE DEALER COULD NOT GET THE CAR INTO GEAR AND STATED THAT THE SHIFTING FORKS WERE PROBABLY BENT ANF NOT LETTING THE CAR SHIFT PLUS THE PRESSURE PLATE ISSUE. *AK
