The transmission has been one of the bigger projects this winter. Completely tore her down and put her back together...found a good shop that gave me access, let me chase my own parts, and learn about my transmission. Overall she was in good shape.
Everything started with those two infamous top bolts...got mine out with a 1/4" ratchet from the top of the engine bay.
Here's how she looked coming out...what a mess!
Slave cylinder just as crusty.
Found a NOS slave cylinder.
Completely tore her down.
Old parts that came out...1-2 and 3-4 shift forks, several bearings, synchros, and, of course, the soft parts.
New parts that went in.
Everything back together.
Bellhousing cleaned and prepped.
Transmission prepped.
First couple coats of Eastwood's AlumaBlast.
Ready for slave cylinder and bell housing to go back on.
Restoration complete...ready to go back to work!
Here's the Ford part # for a 1987 Toyo Kogyo bell housing
And finally, the serial number for this particular transmission.
She'll go back in after Grimeaggedon from the back of cab forward and the weather warms up. Right side complete...progressing on the left.
