    Many used items in our pictures have been cleaned and/or bead blasted prior to being photographed to show condition and detail. 

    The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned. 

    We do not retake pictures each time a used item sells. Pictures are a good indicator of what you will receive, but not all used parts age the same. On high dollar parts, email us and we can send a few pictures of the actual part available.

    "Core" Items:
     If we use the word "Core" in the title of the product, the item has been deemed rebuildable, but has not been rebuilt.  The item you receive, in most circumstances, will be pulled from the donor car and shipped to you without being cleaned.

    Used FMX transmission tail shaft or housing extension as Ford called them in the Master Parts Catalog. Fits all 1969-73 Mercury Cougar and Ford Mustang cars with transmission code X on the door tag. Cast aluminum construction. D2ZP-7A040-A version also available, we have a good supply of the updated 1972 version.

    The overall length of this housing is 12 7/8", which was also used on 1969 Fairlanes and Torinos.  This housing will not fit full sized Ford Mercury cars that have an FMX, as the full sized cars used a slightly longer tail housing that is 16 1/2" long.

    Replaces Ford part number C9ZP-7A040-A.
