FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

Using cut off bolts as pilot pegs is always a good idea. We, too, have had good results with C&G transmission parts. Be sure to use a good disk locating tool when ready to reassemble, and scour the flywheel face with a Scotchbrite pad or wheel to deglaze it. Check the roller bearings inside the cluster for any debris from the broken spacer. Also, look carefully at the release fork spring (48-7562) to see if it has wear or damage at the ends.

One tip that has served me well is to cut the heads off of a couple of bolts that are the same as the ones used to bolt the transmission to the engine, but about three inches long. When these are scr*w*d into the two top bolt holes in the block they can be used to guide the transmission into place.

Start with Mac VanPelt. He has Ford trannies as well as part to rebuild. Here's a link to his transmission website.

Removed the whole seat & was real carful. The good news-Removed the trany. Bad news the spacer next to the gear on the main shaft had a big peice out of it along with some of the teeth on the main shaft. Now I need to find some GOOD parts. Any ideas? I've had good luck with stuff from C&G. The throwout bearing was shot after less than a 1000 miles. Came from Mac's. Will also change the pilot bearing while it is apart. After I locate parts I will try to reinstall. Not to sure that it will be anywhere near easy. Any other ideas? Previous post were a great help. I would still be tring to take it out from the bottom.

THANKS,
Joe

As Ragtopman said, be sure to put good covers on your upholstery. Invariably you will get a spot of grease on the interior seats or panels if you do not cover them.

Remove the bolt holding the u-joint to the tail shaft of the transmission, and pull off the joint to increase clearance. When the clutch linkage is disconnected and the bolts holding the transmission to the clutch housing are out, straddle the transmission as you sit on the seat, and holding on to the shift lever, ease it back and out of the pressure plate. There is nothing wrong with having a support ready to catch the transmission when it is cleared, but usually you can lift it out and set it down to allow you to pull it on out of the door. If the transmission balks at moving back from the clutch housing, you can hook it thru the inspection hole to assist. We use a homemade tool that looks like a baling hook for that, and to give us a second grip on the unit.

you should have help doing this,you are going to have to pull the rear back more so the front of driveshaft CLEARS , this will let the trany come back away from the flywheel and clutch,
also make sure you use a board and jack under the oil pan so it does not fall down, the rear trans mount is also holding the trans and engine up, but once you secure the motor, you can remove the bolts in the rear trans mount,
the trans gets pulled up and out,cover your interior
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE HELP,doing this is not really a one man job not unless your are 20
lets hear how you made out,37RAGTOPMAN

I'm in a bind. A guy with a transmission shop was helping me pull the trany. We pulled the rear end back 2 or 3 inches. Then he had to leave because of an emergency. Will be gone for some time. I have a guy that will help me try to get the trany to another shop a few miles away. I'm stuck on how to drop the tail of the trany or how to pull it away from the motor. I took the bolt out of the mount. I don't see how to get the hub (over the universal joint) off.
Any ideas would help. Thanks!
