I've searched so many threads my head is still spinning. Plus the fact that the search function likes 4 letter words... I have a few choice 4 letter words for it.
The 6.9l started leaking at the block heater. Popped a new freeze plug in, saw a crack by the bore. Ripped it out for the 7.3 i have in the parts truck. Swapped in the ZF5. Before i dismantled the truck, i drove it. Drove quite well, just smoked as the pump was off a turbo truck and was turned up. I drained the tranny, no metal, clean. Shifted fairly well. Just tossed both in my truck, did the auto to manual swap. new SMF clutch, new slave, new master. Have perfect travel for release. tranny will grind from 1-2 when its cold. Go a mile or two and its pretty good. I refilled the tranny with a synthetic blend merc V. I drained that out for Redline MTF. Total glitter. Kinda pissed. Its much better with the Redline but its not where it should be. Gotta shift slow on the 1-2 shift when its cold. Going from 3-2 or 2-1 is fine no grinding. Before i tear this box apart to throw some syncros at it what do you all think? Should i try royal purple atf? Syncromax?
