Re: Frankentruck

Some days you win, some days you lose, some days you end up right in between.
Today is right in between.

Got the old transmission out on Thursday evening after work. Got the overdrive specific parts reinstalled to the overdrive transmission yesterday after work. This morning, I got the transmission back in the truck, then realized I forgot a crucial part. Yup, it’s gonna leak without the output shaft seal. At least I noticed it before I put gear oil in it. Finished up the swap this afternoon, went for a test drive and that’s where a little bit of sadness happened.

The good: shifts through all the gears, is much quieter, doesn’t make any crunchy noises

The bad: does not shift into overdrive, lockout cable is hanging up and won’t lockout unless I move the lever at the transmission end, gear oil is leaking out of one of the case bolts.

Not sure what the problems with the lockout cable and the overdrive are, but I’ve been working on the truck for about 9 hours today, so I’m throwing in the towel for today. Hopefully with a fresh mind tomorrow I’ll be able to figure it out.

On the test drive, I did see a really cool 64 F100. It has a 302 with a mild cam and a c4 auto. Sounds great and looks cool. I just love hubcaps and steelies
