If I recall, I believe you push down on the ring around the base of the shifter and turn to unlock from the drift pin...
Hopefully, someone will add to or correct me...(I haven't messed with trannys too much...:-wink.Trav.. I tried doing this and the ring dosent seem to move down at all. It's tight against the shifter base.

Definitely subscribing to this. My dad rebuilt his '85 frame up around 1993 and we are planning on doing it again soon since road salt ate it and after parking it for 7 years, the New York weather tools its toll. Still runs great and moves perfectly though. We've been slowing stocking up on parts. Scored an entire southern front clip, every piece down to nut and bolt for $250 about a year and a half ago.
Keep me updated man, it looks awesome. Glad to see someone taking interest in the '80s Fords. My favorite body style truck ever. |

The thing you have to push down and turn is the piece inside the ring. I had to pad it with a rag, but gloves might work, as it is a hard push and not finger-friendly.

Great thread! Subbed. I've only done one frame off resto - a 1958 VW beetle.
It was a lot simpler than this. I don't think I'd want to do what you're doing but I can live vicariously through your work! More pics! |

OK, I should have checked to make sure the input shaft still turned before I painted the tranny. If it's in neutral the shaft should spin, no? I'm 90% sure it turned before I took it apart.

In neutral the input shaft should spin and the output shaft shouldn't.
