    Hate it's come to this....

    I am 90% sure I am going to sell my project's parts, and part ways with this passion project. I love the truck, but i got over my head fairly quickly and that has become exacerbated by a lack of time having 3 little ones. My 1987 ford F-350. Im posting what is available first on here before I...

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    It could have been. A combination of not shifting and slipping.

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    Amazing feedback from everyone it has been super helpful Finished filling it (I think) just about the top of the hatch. It will move and drive around, but it slips in first. It will take off but upon throttle it doesn’t want to get up to speed as it usually would. Now that I understand the...

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    I hear you. I’ll call around tomorrow my guess is the tranny is done. Here is a back up question. I have a brand new monster transmission originally slated for my 87 f350 build. Can anyone vouch that an 87 f350 c6 will fit an 87 E350?

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    So I filled it up more. Not by much… still absolutely nothing. Shift through the gears. Car stays parked. Fluid is getting up to the cooler. No leaks anywhere that I can see.

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    Bolt in the pan was the longer bolt and the last owner had it mis sequenced. THANKS @XOLATEM . Nothing is stripped and everything went back in @IDIBRONCO ok so regretfully I didn't take on your method. Well...partially after reading your first post. Unfortunately didn't see your follow up...

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    What the best way to flush the cooler itself? Maybe sand was dramatic more so dust. Still it was silver after dumping out the Tran fluid.

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    Also decent amount of silver sand in the pan along with 1 pin head sized piece of metal. Magnet was presumably maxed out coated in metal. The added realization of these two findings is what prompted me to assume this thing may have been 1. overfilled for a while (my fault, didn't take the time...

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    K... after more digging you are right X. Filter bolt. Hole is stripped. Last knucklehead cranked it to hard..probably got it to stay, and then it fell. Thankfully that magnet caught it. Called a transmission shop today to get a new tranny put in I had sitting here. I don't have the time. Come...

    Bolt found in c6 tranny pan during fluid change.

    New to this. Curious if this has fallen out of something that could be effecting performance. That said, I am currently attempting to resolve a shifting issue between 1st and 2nd. It’s slow to shift and revving high to get there. Plan on goofing with the vrv as well. Really hoping I don’t have...

    Steering and diag

    I wasn't able to drive this truck long enough to really feel out the steering. However since everything is out I want to know what is good to inspect/ replace. There are some parts that have taken a beating. And rusted. However i really don't want to get In to the steering column. Unless someone...

    1987 Crew Cab 2WD Build

    Shipping times, shipping damages, and order of process delays are for the most part why I am only this far. I hear you there! That's sounds like a blast. I want to get this truck done so that I can use it to do the fun stuff!
