1 DESCRIPTION

DESCRIPTION

The Ford designed 4-speed trans-

mission
(Fig. 1) is of the
fully
syn-

chronized type with
all
gears except

the reverse sliding gear being
in con-

stant mesh.
All
forward-speed changes

are accomplished with synchronizer

sleeves.
All forward-speed gears
in the

transmission
are
helical-type, however,

the reverse sliding gear
and the
exter-

ior
of the
first-and second-speed
syn-

chronizer sleeve
are
spur-type gears.

The specifications
of
this section Part

6-4 lists
the
transmission model
num-

bers
and
vehicles
in
which they
are

used.

IN-VEHICLE ADJUSTMENTS
AND
REPAIRS

SHIFT LINKAGE ADJUSTMENT

1.
Loosen
the
three shift linkage

adjustment nuts. Install
a 1/4
inch
di-

ameter alignment tool through
the

control bracket
and
lever holes
as

shown
in Fig. 13.

An alignment tool
can be
made

from
1/4
inch diameter drill
rod
bent

to
an "L"
shape.
The
extensions
should
be 2 1/2
inch
and 3 3/4
inch

from
the
elbow. Short
end of
align-

ment
pin
should
be
inserted into
con-

trol bracket
and
linkage holes until
it

bottoms.

2.
Disconnect
the
reverse gear shift

rod from
the
shift lever.

3.
Shift
the
transmission into
re-

verse gear.
4.
Tighten
the 1-2 and 3-4
shift
rod

adjustment nuts.

5.
Connect
the
reverse gear shift

rod
to the
shift lever. Shift
the
reverse

lever
to the
neutral position
and
tight-

en
the
adjustment
nut.

6. Remove
the
alignment
pin.

7.
Check
the
gear shift lever
for a

smooth crossover.

REMOVAL
AND
INSTALLATION

REMOVAL

1.
Raise
the
vehicle
on a
hoist.

2.
Mark
the
driveshaft
so
that
it

may
be
installed
in the
same relative
position. Disconnect
the
drive shaft

from
the
rear U-joint flange. Slide
the

drive shaft
off the
transmission output

shaft
and
install
the
extension housing

seal installation tool into the extension
housing
to
prevent lubricant leakage.

See
Fig. 2,

cable from the equalizer lever and sep-

arate the lever from the crossmember.

5.
Remove the hairpin retainer se-

curing the cable to the transmission

rear support crossmember, and then

pull the cable assembly forward and

out of the crossmember.

6. Remove the retaining clip, flat

washer, and spring washer that se-

cures the shift rods to the shift levers.

7.
Remove the bolts that attach the

shift linkage control bracket to the ex-

tension housing and position the as-

sembly out of the way.

8. Support the engine with a trans-

mission jack and remove the extension

housing-to-engine rear support attach-

ing bolts.

9. Raise the rear of the engine high

enough to remove the weight from the

crossmember. Remove the bolts re-

taining the crossmember to the frame

side supports and remove the

crossmember.

10.
Support the transmission on a

jack and remove the bolts that attach

the transmission to the flywheel hous-

ing.

11.
Move the transmission and jack

rearward until the transmission input

shaft clears the flywheel housing. If

necessary, lower the engine enough to

obtain clearance for transmission re-

moval.

Do not depress the clutch pedal

while the transmission is removed.
INSTALLATION

1.
Make sure that the mounting

surface of the transmission and the

flywheel housing are free of dirt,

paint, and burrs. Install two guide

pins in the flywheel housing lower

mounting bolt holes. Move the trans-

mission forward on the guide pins

until the input shaft splines enter the

clutch hub splines and the case is posi-

tioned against the flywheel housing.

2.
Install the two upper transmis-

sion to flywheel housing, mounting

bolts snug, and then remove the two

guide pins. Install the two lower

mounting bolts. Torque all mounting

bolts to specifications.

3.
Raise the rear of the engine and

install the crossmember. Install and

torque the crossmember attaching

bolts to specifications, then lower the

engine.

4.
With the transmission extension

housing resting on the engine rear

support, install the transmission ex-

tension housing attaching bolts. Tor-

que the bolts to specifications.

5.
Position the shift linkage control

bracket to the extension housing and

install the attaching bolts.

6. Secure each shift rod to its re-

spective lever with the spring washer,

flat washer, and retaining pin.

7.
Guide the parking brake cable

assembly through the hole in the
transmission rear support crossmemb-

er. Secure the cable assembly to the

crossmember with the hair pin retain-

er.

8. Insert the parking brake front

cable in the equalizer and install the

equalizer in the bracket on the

crossmember. Secure the parking

brake rear cable to the equalizer.

9. Connect the speedometer cable

to the extension housing.

10.
Remove the extension housing

installation tool and slide the forward

end of the drive shaft over the trans-

mission output shaft. Connect the

drive shaft to the rear U-joint flange.

11.
Place both forward gear shift

levers and the reverse shift lever in the

neutral position and insert a 1/4 inch

diameter alignment tool in the shift

linkage alignment hole (Fig. 17). It

may be necessary to loosen the adjust-

ment nuts to install the alignment

tool. Adjust the linkage as necessary

and tighten the adjustment nuts to

specifications. Remove the alignment

tool.

12.
Fill the transmission to the

proper level with the specified lubri-

cant.

13.
Lower the car. Check tne shift

and crossover motion for full shift en-

gagement and smooth crossover oper-

ation.

the gear (Fig. 4).

33.
Place the transmission in a ver-

tical position as shown in Fig. 22.

Align the countershaft gear bore and

thrust washers with the bore in the

case.
Install the countershaft.

the extension housing to the case with

the attaching screws. Use a sealer on

the extension housing attaching

screws. Torque the screws to specifica-

tions.

35.
