Honestly, I regret buying my Ricardo - there's almost nobody who can service it (yes, Stillen sells clutches for them and has done gear swaps, and RPM has done repairs on them, but that doesn't mean anything if parts arn't available), the only guy who knew them like the back of his hand is dead unfortunately (Adrian/DAB), the factory, from what I understand, won't speak to you about the damn thing because of an agreement with Ford, and Ford's idea is to throw away the transaxle if there are any problems with it.
It's nice it can handle a bajillion hp, but if you're unlucky and it grenades, even through no fault of your own, well, you're SOL.
I know most people on here are on a love-fest with the Ricardo, but flat out, show me where the replacement parts (e.g., 2nd gear syncros, as mentioned in the post) can be found (hint - they can't, from what I can see). Wish I'd used a 930 transaxle instead, oh well, too late now!
