    MMC Driveshaft Locations

    I bought 2 MMC driveshafts today for a project car I am working on, and in the process ran across a parts man that was able to locate a current list of available MMC driveshafts from dealers in the US. This list is probably old news for a lot of you, but really opened my eyes as to what the dealers can really help with, if they will. As of today, I counted an even 40 (38 after my purchase) MMC shafts across the country. I still have the printout if anyone else is still looking..

    I actually ended up finding them here locally at a wrecking yard. They tow for the city police department and auction the wrecked city vehicles every year. I bought both shafts off of totaled PI Cruisers for $75.

    The Ford Dealer here didn't have a MMC and the closest "new" shaft was 300 miles away, so I went with the "used"ones.. I will probably buy one of the cruisers for parts when they are auctioned. The car I am working on is a 01 PI, so even if drivetrain parts won't work out, there should be enough body parts to make it worth while.

    You beat me by 2 hours!!! I was gonna start this very thread. Yours had alot more to offer though.

    I bought a brand new Metal Matrix today for under 2 hundred.

    A ford parts friend gave me some contacts in hopes of finding the Metal Matrix Comp PI drive shaft part number XW7Z-4602-AA. I called four different places, and surprisingly all four had ONE left respectively. I bought one, and caught a real break at the price of $180.83.

    The other three places weren’t as cool with their price, although maybe I didn’t throw around the right verbiage to achieve a better discount. For those of you still looking for an alternative to spending 5 large for a metal matrix here’s the dope:

    Forgot Co. Name, New Jersey, attn. Kent 973-746-1334 $198.05
    Sunbury Motors, Pa., Attn. Ron, 570-286-7746 $271.24
    McCafferty, Pa., Attn. (don't ask for dave!) 215-945-8000 $301.38



    I did have them verify markings (MMC-POLICE), but I would suggest asking again, and perhaps asking their best price as your brother is a ford sales manager in Walawala, Wa.!!

    Hope this helps at least two people

    My understanding is the $180.00 price is dealer cost. I was told that the MMC (XW7Z 4602 AA) is now on Ford's obsolete parts list, and a lot of dealers, not knowing the demand, would sell them for their cost.
    Shelby also has a quanity warehoused (unknown how many) but it is doubtful these would ever make to our group.

    Dealer cost is $180.83 and dealer list is $301.38. If you can get it for less that 301.38, your doin well.

    I wonder how this one compares to the Dynotech MMC driveshafts available from Dennis? Are they both the same metal matrix composite mix or same yoke material?

    Didn't you just ask this in another thread, Joe?
