In a 2x4, with the drive shaft removed. You should be able to just roll the tranny
back with a tranny jack, do the replacement and slide it back in... that's how I got
it done on my old Suburban.

hey all,

after careful inspection of everything i've determined it not to be the
throw out bearing but rather the whole rear end.

i parked it and climbed underneath.. when i tried to move the drive
shaft.. it just moved all around inside the rear end.

Also, there is a tan liquid coming out of the rear end where the drive
shaft goes in..

i'm pretty sure the rear end is shot but it might be able to be repaired..

because i'm not an expert with this stuff i took it down to "Cottman
Transmission" and they are checking it out as we speak..

i hope they can just buy a repair kit

later

If it is the Ford 10.25 inch rear (likely) it is common for the pinion seal
to go and then the rear end.

Chances are if you heard noise its too late.

Ring & Pinion ~ $200 I think, plus $110 for installation kit. Install time,
variable. Its not an hour job. Probably at least another $300 in labour,
maybe as high as $600.

Good luck.
