well, over the last three days, my explorer has gone under the knife.

GOODBYE 5R55 SLUSHBOX, AND GOOD RIDDANCE!

my rear main seal appears to be in perfect workin order, even after 241,000 miles! (the little bit of fluid you see is tranny fluid from where its front main puked)

the brand new flywheel and clutch, installed.

after:

all donor parts were from a 90 ranger 4x4. i used the 5 speed, shifter, steering column, pedal assembly, and a couple steering column trim pieces with my steering wheel and key cylinder. all mounting brackets, and even the transmission cross member did not need to be swapped out. SO, the only parts my explorer didnt come from the factory with is the steering column and associated trim, transmission and shifter, and the clutch bits. took it out for a drive, and WOW! :eek: theres no doubt in my mind that that damn slushbox was robbin me of at least 20% of my power, God only knows how much economy, and it netted me a 300 rpm drop at 65 mph. it will also go 85 @4000 rpm in third gear. :-jammin }> :-X19

oh, and the starter motor took a dump on me right as i went to start it for the first time after the swap. gotta say, it had a good run as it was the original. fortunately, all the above work was done AT my new favorite junkyard, and they grabbed another starter for me for $50.

all said and done with, very, VERY pleased. 8D

Good morning everyone, happy Friday!! Trey, can't see the pics, but sounds like a great upgrade!

BTW, last day for the wife to have her toy, the Expedition is done, and we turn the Mustang in this afternoon. Here is a pic of it.
