Does anyone have a "How To" for trans and clutch replacement??
I just searched and couldnt find a "How To". I know what to do and how to do it with the steps involved, but looking for a check list of items that maybe some of you may have to speed the process along. Examples are torque specs and bolt sizes. I used to have the Ford Manual on the computer but it doesnt seem to load correctly anymore. Thanks

i just did it not too long ago, make sure you have a 13mm swivel socket, not a swivel extension, "swivel socket" very important , also everything is metric and make sure you have a few long extensions it makes some of the trans bolts easy to get at

What bolts are the 13mm swivel used for?? I plan on detailing the bolt sizes, number of bolts and where they go when I am done.
The reason I ask and plan to do this bolt size idea is for quick reference while I am doing the project. I did the same for the blower swap and it hepled speed the process.
no problem man good luck there is two bolts on top of the bell housing that arent fun, that socket will save you alot of agravation, trust me i learned the hard way taking it out
I have had my share of T-5s out before and a AODE so I kind of know what to expect but the size of the T-56 is a little larger than I care to handle alone. I will have some friends help and I will supply the
