1993 Ford F-Super Duty XLT - "Log Truck" (new to me truck-pic heavy)
The photos are large but not sharp enough. What camera? If it is a phone cam like I use, tap the screen to get the focus box (or wipe the ATF off the lense, ha ha) I don't want to make a judgement call on those blurred spots because it's right where I would be concerned. Once you button...- SDEconVan

1993 Ford F-Super Duty XLT - "Log Truck" (new to me truck-pic heavy)
Agreed, the problem is NOT the bushing itself, the problem shows up there. It is either upstream fluid-wise, or mechanically connected to the bushing. Wondering the history of the transmission? Was there ever a time it ran perfect while you've had it? Or has is always been like this...- SDEconVan

Your pump's have been good then (let us assume, using logic here) Converter is okay, chances of a double failure are astronomical. Input Shaft could have a wobble... ...the Converter would be beating on the stator real good and the weak link would be the bushing (?) I'll look and...- SDEconVan

TrackSpeeder- Definitely good advice. Those alignment pins are great for rotational alignment, as the pump is on its' way to getting seated. As for getting seated, right on the money, torquing down the bolts correctly is key to keeping the stator nice and straight. Did not know about...- SDEconVan

SUCCESS! I got 0.021" of deflection going from 65 in-lbs to 0 in-lbs! And I got 0.021" multiple times, the fixture of the gauge made all the difference! ASTG calls for 0.026-0.054, and Alto 0.022-0.047, but some Trans Builders I talked to say tighter is good for this one...(?/!)...- SDEconVan

Again thanks TrackSpeeder, the Frictions soak up ATF and as you say they don't swell- turned out I wasn't measuring clearance properly. Each assembly by itself I feel pretty good about, it's just the Friction Packs and EndPlays outside of, or between these assemblies that I have to learn...- SDEconVan

Hi TrackSpeeder, Yes, I used one, after a few times I switched over to the less bulky ratchet. The feel of the tool was very solid, I could feel the compression and knew the extent was 3/4 turn exactly. Still, you are correct, in order for me to get that "feel" I used my inch-pound torque...- SDEconVan

Thanks TrackSpeeder! That's good to know, I will position the snap rings to deal with drainback. Of course the Reverse Snap Ring cannot point downward because of the big open span from 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock.
