None of it was to hard at all, nothing was really different then R&Ring a trans.

Not sure on the clutch fork, I drove the donor before i pulled it apart and it didnt feel that way what so ever

 

got ya, it sound like the fork but not sure, my truck was good and all t baring went out so put a new clutch and all in put it back to gather and it was just like what you said yours is doing, i spent the 35 bucks on a new fork for this swap, did you use 97 or your 92 tcase?? i have all myn ready 2go waiting on clutch and drive shaft to have 2 in added

 

I used the 97 t case, and I used a 97 wiring harness, pedals were from a 95 f-150, i used the 91 drive lines, and swapped the yoke on the rear drive shaft, the plates on the floor were the same and i used the 91

 

got ya, so it would be a big help if i found wiring harness from a 96 insted of useing my 93, could save some time and messing with wires. my floor plates from the 93 and pedals worked, i am going 2 use 96 tcase and have and my short shaft has to have 2in added to it, my doner was a rcab not a cc so that sucked. hey wonder if wires from 96 460 5 speed will work???

 

you did mean you got wires from a 97 5 speed right?? didnt think are auto wires would work, sorry man have a 100 things going through my head, lol

 

I wish the pedals from my '88 would work. But need the 92-97 pedals.

I'll be using the trans and t-case from my '88 for my swap. I wonder if the hydraulics from the '88 will work or will I need those from a '92-97 also?

 

yes i got the wires from a 97 5 speed 4x4 truck, and i used a 1997 5peed 4x4 pcm

 

i am not sure on the hydro's i bought new pre bleed matched set from oriely's, the 91 pedals were way different, i know where you can get a set of pedals for the obs style fro around $50 i think is what they were going to charge me

 

ok sweet, i have a chip and will have it reburned for a man should be ok there, the wires have been the only thing i was scared of, wonder if 97 will work?? brob be better off with 96 wires same year as the truck, do you know if a 460 is the same?? thanks man

 

Where you from Greasemonky?

 

not sure going to go new hydraulics as well, but i have another set of 93 pedals as well man

 

Brown falcon I am located in Vancouver WA.

I got the clutch pedal problem fixed all is good now, well its kinda noisy but i understand why, wish there was a fix for it.

another thing i thought of is it seems geared lower now? I thought both trucks had 4:11, but maybe i read the donor truck wrong

 

I did the same thing!
It is geared lower than the E4OD. Final drive on E4OD is .72 and the ZF is .76 or .77(I believe) depending on wide or close ratio. Should raise your final RPMs about 3-400.
The clutch problem can be many things all of which are pretty easy fixes and it could easily be all of them. The plastic bushing on the pin that goes inside the master cylinder pushrod from the clutch linkage wears out A LOT. I went through 4 in three months. It can cause excessive play in the system and make the clutch feel wierd. There is a permanent fix for this. Go to eBay and type in "Ford clutch fix". $32 to your door. Easy to install and never have to buy another plastic bushing again. I can't believe it took me so long to get. GREAT MOD!!
There is a rod that runs through the top of the pedalbox that the clutch and brake pedals ride on. Here too are more PLASTIC bushings. They can wear out and cause even more play in the system. $14 from Ford. If that is the case and it has progressed further then the pedalbox itself can become worn in such a way that the holes for those bushings and the rod can become "wallowed" out or the box even broken. Unfortunately the only fix for this is a new pedalbox.
If the clutch fork is worn or the seat for it is worn it can cause funny issues too. Most likely it is not your brand new hydraulics. Maybe you can warranty it and try but I bet it is a plastic problem.
No worries. Glad to help. Now just PAY IT FORWARD somehow.
I wouldn't waste the time or money looking for a 96 harness. It is really easy to fix if need be. But FWIW I imagine the 460 wires would work since it is only wiring. Should be the same and can't hurt anything to just thrpw em in and try. Worse case scenario=you waste 5 minutes plugging them in.
They will but your reverse lights WON'T work. You'd have to permanently set the rotating kob in the end of the auto harness to the park or neutral position to get the truck to crank so that eliminates reverse which causes the lights to activate. It's really easy to fix the other wires.
Yep. And you will be ok with it burned for auto in the mean time.
Don't be scared. It's only plastic and metal.
This is another probable waste of money. Do it if you want but if you use them from the donor and they go out then you just buy some like you're planning anyway and take the 10 minutes to change em. Save that $$ for all your big plans!

 

I'll be doing my swap once I move back to Oregon in a few months.

If you installed the single mass flywheel and it's making noise you can overfill the tranny through the shifter hole and it will help.

 

You can also get pretty much a whole extra quart in by parking the driver's side up on a curb and filling through the fill plug.
