Find a frost plug and put it in the hole in the trans.
If you’re sure the pattern and backlash are correct,just grind the case for clearance.I do it all the time. Not big deal.
Confirming an actual engine size would help.
Hog rings are for seat cushions, plastic ties for everything else.
Only the lock up converter is controlled with a solenoid.
You would just be bringing in parts.Need a bill of sale and you would pay HST on the amount after it is converted to CDN dollars.
As long as the end of the bolt doesn’t touch the converter you’ll be fine.
A lot depends on the output shaft that’s in the trans.If its a stock shaft,putting a speedo gear on it isn’t a problem.If it’s a hardened...
Don’t try and cheat this one.You have to adjust it with a gauge.Pulling the cable tighter to make it shift later is just wrong.The cable has to be...
That’s 30 spline, and make sure you wire the trans brake to an arming switch.
It was pretty common for the pump bushing to move out of position towards the front seal on the earlier 2004R causing the leak.You will have to...
The spring is missing.Don’t know why someone would remove it other than try and alter the shift points or they lost it.
The 1 wire solenoid was the early type and I believe they are not available anymore. Put a ring terminal on the black wire and ground it to to one...
Those filters were a screen mesh,usually brass.Take it out wash and blow out with air. Put it back.
Didn’t they have a block with 4 springs and 4 guide plates for the clutches?
Moriarity is on the money. Get rid of the lock washers.The converter pads should be at a minimum 1 in from the face of the bell housing. If the...
1983 should be a C5 and I think it had a large bell housing with the case fill transmission.Before you buy a flex plate it’s best to check with...
Get the right filter.Do it once.
The filter with the grommet on the bottom is the filter used on the Bronco C4 with a deep sump pan. An extension tube pushed into the filter so it...
Restricted filter, pump or converter will whine. Did the new filter have a screen mesh or was it Dacron? I have had some Dacron filters that were...
If you mean the pinion is from one gear set and the ring gear from another,chances are it will be noisy since they are run in as a matching pair...
Those gears are junk. You can change backlash and preload a 100 times and they will be noisy 100 times.
When you took the filter off, did a spring and plunger fall out of the valve body? Most 70 and up C4 had this and is held in place by a tab on the...
The TH375 output shaft is about 15 inches long, 6 inches longer than a short shaft T400.That would have a pretty long adapter housing.Like gimpy...
Sucks getting old, I was thinking TH200.
My diagram shows speedo gear and speedo gear retaining clip,assuming yours is the same.
But , for the guys that do use the new fancy stuff,Kevin is right.Leave the drill in your tool box.
Just turn it upside down and let it drain for a few hours.Remember that converter has a clutch lining inside and pumping varsol into it may...
I think in 1967 the case changed to the BOP pattern,so it would not bolt up to a nailhead.
