    Gettin' pissed over a ZF-5 install

    Hey y'all, Clutch went out on my T19 a few weeks ago so I decided to go ZF-5 while I had the trans out. It was enough of a headache to get that heavy sumbitch under the truck, but now I got it all the way up and she won't slide into the clutch. I've tried shimmying, shaking, turning the crank...

    WARNING: DO NOT FLAT TOW A ZF5 EQUIPPED TRUCK

    As the title reads, it's a bad gamble to flat-tow a truck with a ZF5. Not all manual transmissions are alike, so you may be wondering why the ZF5 can't be towed. And the reason is because there is no lubrication to the internals apart from the INPUT SHAFT turning. The Input shaft only turns when...

I’ve done a lot so far: glow plugs, serp belt, ows filter, oil change, fuel filter, banks air filter, valve cover gaskets, remove some of the crappy window tint, you know, all the TLC it needed but hadn’t gotten in the...

    e340d shifter?

    I'm trying to swap an 1991 e350 Engine and tranny into a 1994 IDI turbo f-350. They sit in the truck but my shift cable from the 94 won't match the shifter on 91 transmission. Is there an adapter? Mod? I've failed four different mods... and I still have the 1994 Tranny, but hate having to pull...

    Transmission noise? (e40d with video)

    Ive got this e350 7.3 idi with an E40d transmission. I cant figure out if the sound is related to the torque converter or a gear is cooked inside. My best hope is that it is engine related and maybe out of fuel. The sound is twice as loud as the normal engine does. At first I thought it was...

    Into the deep end...

    So after much searching for a donor trans, I've decided to try to rebuild the ZF6 myself. About $250 in parts and a couple of additional tools I didn't own. Parts should be in this week, and as soon as my concrete isn't a block of ice, I'll get under and take pictures of the process. Mainly...

I am having the grinding in 2nd and 3rd issue and just want it fixed. I am new-ish to the area and just thought that surely there would be someone down here...

    SAE #3 adapter, flywheel/flexplate questions

    I'm not much on medium duty automatics. I've pulled apart and fixed a few handshakers, but never an automatic. Does anyone here have pictures of what the flywheel/flexplate adapter for an IDI to auto looks like? I can find the housing adapter on Ebay, but not really seeing anything for the...

    Interchangeable years and trans update

    I've been digging through this site and the internet to find out what years have parts that are swappable to other years. Can someone clear this up? As an aside, I swapped out my trans fluid (ZF6/Pennzoil synchromesh). Should I notice an immediate improvement, or does it need to be swished...
