Thank you for commenting on the 3/4" inputshaft bushings. I had to reorder a second bushings kit cause I couldn't get the shaft through one and now the same one has the same problem again. I have one more spare to try and I already used 1500 grit paper on this one. Not sure what to do, that's why i searched
You're welcome, man...Yes, those bushings are a pain in the ass unless you have small blind hole pull attachments coupled with a very heavy slide hammer. You can check the extent of wear on those bushings by simply trying to rock the journal side to side. If you don't detect any side play at all and the bushing appears to be visually ok, you can reuse them...Generally speaking, bushings need about .001 clearance in the aggregate to be considered effective. You can start with a coarser grit, say 400 or 600 grit then work your way to 1000-1500....use 600 until the journal seats with just a slight amount of drag then finish it off with 1000-1500...
If i were to check my clutch clearance on a setup with brand new but fluid soaked clutches, what would i want to see, more or less clearance? (Wish i had found your video sooner)
Hi abreaux1777, you'd tend to have slightly less clearance but it's not material and the clearance you measure on the bench will open up roughly by that same amount once the clutch is back in the trans and working. The main thing is to be in the lower half of the clearance range so as clutch and steel plates wear over time, there's a greater amount of time spend with clearance in spec before it wears to the point the spec is exceeded. Just don't go below the minimum spec or you'll have partial tie-ups upon shifts.
@@nickstransmissionsStruggling to get my input shaft end play clearance correct. I had to change out the stator support and intermediate shaft. I put the factory pump washer back in but I have zero clearance with it. Would you know where I could fine a selective pump washer?
Visit your local ford dealership's parts department and let them know what you need...Bring your existing selective washer (measure it's thickness beforehand and write it down) then tell the parts guy you need one that is thinner (I'd honestly buy two thinner ones, each of different thicknesses).
This is a unit I’m very unfamiliar with and I’ve really enjoyed these so far. Keep up the good work
Thanks, Esoteric!
Excellent information. Good video, as always sir.
Thank you, Larry!

@@nickstransmissions thank you very much for that info, I'm a d.i.y. guy working on a project vehicle. Thanks man
