You need to slide it back far enough to get the input shaft back out of the clutch disc and give you enough room to put your hands and forearms up in there. I have done a clutch replacement by just sliding the transmission back; you will likely have to pull it back about 8-12 inches to get enough space to work. Take the transmission off the bellhousing first, then take the bellhousing off the engine. That should give plenty of maneuvering space. > Do I have to disconnect the shifter linkage from inside the cabin > or from underneath? It depends on how big the hole is for it. When I did the clutch swap, all I did was remove the floor mounted cover pan over the transmission. That allowed enough room to slide the transmission back without removing the shifter. (my trans is a Warner T-18 4 speed) > Do I have to drain the fluid before I pull the trans? nope > Does the manual trannie have a dipstick? nope > Where's the hole to refill it? It should be on the side of the transmission case. There are two screw-in plugs: the one lowest on the case is the drain the one higher up on the case is the fill. It is easier to see and fill if you take the floor mounted cover pan out. > Can I resurface the flywheel myself or do I have to take it in? Generally, it is better if the flywheel is resurfaced by a machine shop, unless you have a machine shop ... Flywheels don't really need to be resurfaced unless there is unevenness or pitting. If your flywheel is smooth and looks to be in good condition, chances are that it doesn't need to be resurfaced. > While I'm under there, what's the difference between the big block > and the small block bellhousing bolt pattern (I'd like to try to > determine if thats an M or a W block)? You don't need to get under the truck to tell that ... just open the hood. In Windsor blocks, the upper radiator hose outlet/thermostat housing attaches at the intake manifold, and it would come out with the intake manifold if you were to remove the intake manifold. In the M-blocks, the upper radiator hose outlet/thermostat housing attaches to the engine block itself. > I understand I just have to pay attention to aligning the disc, Yes, and you can get an alignment tool for this at better auto parts stores to make the job MUCH easier. > the rest will automatically drop into place? I wouldn't quite say "drop", but with some stud-bolts to guide it, and with you and about 30 really strong friends to push it into place, it generally lines up with only a little wiggling it around. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 11:53:32 -0800 (PST) From: Chris Sullivan <trendsetter4life yahoo.com>

Anyone who likes working on everything they can get their hands on likes to buy tools ! The hard plastic clutch alignment tool for my '79 bronco only cost me a little over $1, anyway :-) Using the tool saves some time with having to eyeball it and slide it around with a screwdriver, but hey, if you are good at the method you use and are accurate with it .... From what I can tell, Ford used the same clutch spline pattern on all the Ford 3.03 3 speed, NP435 4 speed, and Warner T-18 4 speed transmission applications, so the tool becomes even more useful of an investment the more Ford trucks with manual transmissions you have. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 12:27:16 -0800 From: Don Grossman <duckdon mac.com>

Right. The earlier T-98 uses a larger input shaft as I am finding out. I am upgrading to an NP 435 and need to change the bellhousing and clutch disk. I hope the flywheel and starter will still work or will I need to change to a smaller flywheel? Where there different flywheels for the FE series? laters -- Don Grossman duckdon mac.com

Subject: Re: clutch replacement Date: Wed, 22 Nov 2000 22:16:50 I have a thought to add to this discussion... I've found it is often hard to get the tranny lined up into the new clutch. The spines have to line up, the shaft and pilot bushing have to line up and the bell housing has to line up. Never fails, when I think it'll go, the splines are not matched. So I started leaving the tranny in gear. Then if I think the splines are holding it back, I just turn the driveshaft yoke - which turns the input shaft allowing the splines to match up. Can't do that if it is in neutral. Oh, and I really think the plastic alignment tools is well worth the couple bucks - big help to me. Just a thought.

The only problem I had with the plastic cords was that I had to cut and replace them every time I pulled the radiator which I had to do a lot on that car ('66 Fastback).

Subject: D-60 - Scott, I think the torque specs would be really helpful at this point. - What the 76 factory manaul states Axle shaft to hub 40-50 ft.lbs. While rotating the wheel,tighten the inner bearing lock nut to 50-80 ft.lbs. Then back off 3/8 of a turn. Install outer locking nut and torque to 90-110 ft.lbs. Wheel must rotate freely and have a end play of 0.001"-0.010" I have found that if I tighten the inner to 70 ft.lbs.I have 0.000 end play. I then VERY slowly loosen the nut until I can detect the slightest movement. I have found this to be 0.001" end play.I then lossen it just a tad more. Better too loose than too tight,but with a dial indicater perfection is possible.When you get the end play right,install a new lock washer and the outer nut.When the outer is tightened it compresses the inner nut and the end play is thrown off and you start all over. You do this until a happy medium is reached and the outer nut is torqued and the wheel spins freely with the proper end play. After doing one side the other will be much,much easier. BTW the factory spec. of 90-110 ft.lbs.for the outer nut is a little optimistic for the socket commonly used.I just get it as tight as I can and call it good. -BTW, Scott, why do I need to replace the locking washer between the -bearing nuts? Can't I just rebend the tabs around the nuts after -re-installing them? A few years ago I did the rear brakes on my 76 f-250.I had done the brakes a few times before and thought nothing of reusing the lock washers. I made it less than five miles down the road when the right rear locked up tight.After paying the tow truck driver $100 to get me home I tore into the rear end.It was a nightmare.The tabs on the lock washer had broke and as I drove the bearing retaining nuts got tighter and tighter until the wheel locked up. It took a come-along ,torch and hammer routine to get the drum off. The outer bearing was shoved into the hub so far the hub/drum was ruined, the bearing was ruined,as were the retaining nuts and of course the lock washer. The inner bearing welded itself to the spindle and I had to cut it off and almost wasted the housing in the process. You can rebend the tabs,but if the tabs have been bent back and forth in a earlier brake job they could fail.The tabs on the lock washers are fairly thin and are easily broken by bending back and forth. Believe me I always use new lockwashers after that fiasco.............. ------------------------------ From: "G & J Boling" <flash1 alltel.net>

All of the info I've read says that the bearings should be packed thoroughly with bearing grease just like the front ones on a 4X4 are. As far as the spindles/races, nothing rides directly on the spindle surface itself so it just needs to be smooth enough to slide the inside collar of the bearing onto. I guess if you want to call this a race you can but it really is part of the bearing itself. The "separate" bearing race is an interference fit into the hub itself and should be installed with a special bearing driver tool. /// Friends help you move...Real friends help you move bodies \\ ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eric Finn" <ecfinn yahoo.com>

All of the > info I've read says that the bearings should be packed thoroughly with > bearing grease just like the front ones on a 4X4 are. The design of the Dana 60 allows for the differential oil to lube the wheel bearings as well. This is the same design as on large trucks. There is no seal to separate the diff oil as there is on a front end application. The oil would run out of the knuckle before it could reach the bearings anyways. The way I usually "prelube" oil lubed bearings is by pouring oil onto the bearings before installing them. I also fill the hub cavity with as much oil as I can get in there before putting the outer bearing in.

The bearing itself has the inner race as part of it and it is a snug fit on the spindle.. The outer race is a press fit in the hub(drum center portion), I believe. Man its been a long time since I've been in one of these.. Azie Magnusson Ardmore, Al. ------------------------------ From: "Azie L. Magnusson" <maggie11 HiWAAY.net>

Subject: DynoJet Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 16:40:27 Hi About 3 days ago on this list, there was mention of a "DynoJet" engine simulator program as I recall. I have been doing searches on the web for that thing, but to no avail. Anybody here know the web site for that "DynoJet" program? Any demos available? Many thanks!

Subject: Illegal question about modular engines..... Date: Thu, 23 Nov 2000 07:10:21 -0800 Sorry to interrupt gang but my daughter's 97 with 4.2 V-6 died. Does the timing belt run in oil inside the front cover on these engines? It had a serious coolant leak from a gasket in the front cover and I suspect this may have allowed coolant into the oil but not sure how they go together (never worked or even looked closely at the new ones) It's a real shame too with only 80k miles on it. Using Mobil one she should have got 200k out of it :-( Happily Semi-Retired, Michigan Pot Hole Jumping, 78 Bronco Loving, Gary :-) ------------------------------ From: "Gary" <gpeters3 lni.net>

If you buy a clutch kit the tool usually comes with it anyway. One other thing I might add is get some long bolts of the size used to hold the tranny bell and bell housing on (both for a stick) and cut the heads off and round them to use as "Guides" when you re-install the bell housing and tranny. You may save even more than 2 hours of work........ How much metal do you suppose winds up between the pilot and bushing when ....
