Looks like somebody tried to reinstall the trans by using the bolts to pull it up to the block without it being fully seated. As was said, that block's hosed and should be replaced.

Really liked it. There are a few plot holes that could use some explanation, but am anxious to see where season 2 goes, assuming they bring it back.

I'd like to think I'm respectful around other people's cars with regard to absolutely not touching anything ever, especially anything that's painted, since that's a huge pet peeve of mine as well. That said, I don't park anything I own at a car show or go to parking lot meets...would rather not...

Bump.

Brand new, only taken out of the box, wiped down, and placed in the bores for pushrod mockup. Decided to go solid roller in a 351C I bought these for and am past the point where I can return these, so they're priced for a quick sale. These are their "street" series hydraulic lifters and will...

I went with an 11" RAM Powergrip and FRPP steel flywheel. Have just started breaking it in, but there's no chatter (4.10's help here) and pedal effort is a bit lighter than with the stock parts that came off it. It's difficult to modulate the pedal from a stop, but I'm chalking that up to not...

I remember getting a recall notice for this years ago. Knowing that the console had to come out, I never took it in to have the fix performed. No issues with the parking brake ever...must be lucky I guess.

The 1-2 and 3-4 synchros are the same. Not sure about the input shaft, but I'd say they're probably not the same as the T56 due to gearing.

Our family had a '95 and '96, both totalled. Miss them.

Yeah, if it was fine before the new engine and pilot bearing, the TOB would be where I'd look next, especially since the sound goes away with some pedal pressure on it.

With heat cycles, pressed-on parts seating, and wear, things are going to shift a bit is my guess. I did measure a few bearings and the replacements were very close in thickness to the originals, but those differences will get exponentially greater if you have several bearings that are...

Shimmed toward the tighter end of the spec, I was still able to wiggle the input shaft side-to-side ever so slightly which should mean everything isn't jammed in there, if that helps. Picture shows the loose end of spec, and even shimmed there, there was no perceptible up and down movement when...

Video sounds a lot like a crunchy TOB, but that shouldn't be with 100 miles on it. You did mention input shaft endplay...Ford specs between .0009" and .002", so it looks like you might have had a bit much in there.

Just finished rebuilding mine. Only issues it had was high rpm 1-2 grind and a leak from the tailshaft. Threw a few upgrades in while I was in there, but other than a cracked shift fork pad, the worn tailshaft bushing, and a shift rail bushing that was really pitted, it looked great...

Went to two dealers this past holiday weekend to order some hardware for my clutch R&R. There was literally one family looking at a used car among both those lots, both full of trucks, both flavors of Bronco, Explorers, and Mach E's. No other customers in sight.
