I have a 97 f250 4x4 and have no clue what the tranny is...... lost all of my forward gears but have reverse. These are all of the letters and numbers I can get off of it without taking it out..... please someone shed some light on me. Below are the numbers and where they r.

Drivers side side of tranny front-

RF-F7AP-7
Alittle back same side


RF2TP-7AO4O-BA. BASIC 24

On bottom of case by pan it has a 2 with 38 directly under it

It has metric fird and a s on the bottom of pan its a 14 bolt pan

On passenger side side front it has on a little plate PKF-BD F8SP-7000 065329 R8 ..


Please if knows what this means I would .appreciate the help. Ty

 

A 14 bolt pan is a 4R70W.

Look at the data tag in the driver's door opening. Under "TR" there will be one letter. What is it?

 

There is a u under the tr.
and when I talked to the person I got.her from, he said that he had replaced.the motor and tranny together and that they were never split, but couldn't tell me.what kind it was

 

The one you said are they a common tranny? How hard will it.be to.fix and the pan looks like a house on its side. Meaning 3 sides are the same then in slopes in a little on both sides evenly then is straight. Ill messure pan and take photo of it. Can ' t believe I didn't.think of.that

 

U means 4R70W. And 14 bolts means 4R70W. I think you have a 4R70W. That is a common trans. The plants that built these transmissions were building more than a million of them a year!

Having no forward gears means something mechanical broke inside the transmission. It MUST come out and be replaced or rebuilt for this truck to move on it's own again. There is nothing easy that can cause no forward but reverse works.

 

Thank you Mark.... I contacted a company in minnasota that does trannies and for mine with torque converter included the cost is 995 which I don't think that's bad at all. The local shop said 1400-1700 and I would do the r&r so I might as well remove the old and just put in a remaned one that has all of the upgrades with a 3 year waranty. Again thank you so much
