I have a 1992 F-350 4x4 with the 7.3 IDI, and a ZF-5 transmission.
I believe the synchro for reverse is going out, as I am able to go through 1-5 normally without issue. However, when I try to go in reverse, the transmission usually grinds and wants to pop back out of gear.
I'm a GM guy by trade, but I do want to use this truck as a workhorse for my family's business (which includes a fair amount of towing, hauling, and long distance travel). As such, I really want the most durable transmission possible.
Since I'm still new to Fords, what is the best solution to my transmission issue? Would I be better off having a shop rebuild it, or is there a reputable source for ZF-5's online?
