Jul 03, 2020 · After looking for some Ford Toploaders I see what you mean, another guy suggested a side-shift T-10 4 speed instead of the Toploader because the T-10 is still made. The only question is if it's able to be bolted up to the Dana 20 and if …

Jul 14, 2021 · With that Econoline bell housing you can also use a Ford Top Loader 4 speed and maybe a Borg Wanner 4 speed if you can find one if them. Both are great shifting transmissions and again the Ford top loader is super strong so there is a good demand for them. Cost wise it can vary greatly for a 4 speed top loader so look around for good deals.

Oct 20, 2020 · You can shift gears with it out of the car. If it doesn't have a shifter on it, the transmission should only allow you to move one shift arm at a time. My paperwork from DWT said wheen looking at gears 1st should be perfect, 2nd will be the most hammered, 3rd will be better than second, 4th will be better than 3rd.

Tremec built the Toploader for Ford and the correct model designation for them is a T-170. These were arguably the strongest 4-speeds made in the '60s, and the design is still used by NASCAR race teams today. It is also the basis for the Tremec TR-3550 and TKO aftermarket 5-speed manual transmissions.

Oct 09, 2013 · 428/4 speed car. Speed/RPM's don't seem to matter but the temperature does. The hotter it is the crappier the shift. I have moved all the way up Castrol 85-145 gear lube. It has made shifting a little better but not as good as I would like. I have tried the lighter weights and the synthetics and am now trying the 85-145. Best so far. Brian

I have the 65 Mustang Shop Manual as a guide for the disassembly but it seems to be lacking a bit in clarity of the instructions. I've removed the front bearing cover, rear housing and the 3/4 and 1/2 shift

The transmission pictured above is the open driveshaft version of the typical Ford toploader three speed transmission that was used in the 1/2 ton light duty pickup trucks from 1942 to 1952 (including the 48-52 F-1 truck). It was essentially the same gearbox as the late 1939 style toploader except for the different parts used to adapt the

I can tell you that it was very combersome to down-shift with. The lever was set up different though, (see link) but works basically the same.

Nov 20, 2019 · But read that GL-5 rated gear oils are bad for the brass parts and GL-4 rated gear oils should be used in these transmissions. I drained it and refilled it with Joe Gibbs Racing 80W-90 GL-4 rated gear oil. The trans is much harder to shift, especially downshifts from 3rd to 2nd.

It is very difficult to shift to second gear from first and down shifting it near about impossible. The gears don't grind it is just takes a lot of force to get the gear to engage. Sitting still the trans shifts fine.

Jan 02, 2020 · Just a quick note regarding my experience. I replaced my T-10 4-speed with a T5 and it really is fantastic for highway trips. The 5.0 is mild with only 315HP, so the T5 can handle that. I wouldn't push 400HP through a standard T5. As for gears, I am running an Eaton TruTrac with 3.25 gears in an 8".
