remove cross member, let transmission down with a jack placed out of the way of where your transmission jack will be (don't go so low that stuff in the engine compartment starts breaking) long bar and roll body seam out of the way, 4 foot extension and a universal socket, take top bolts out.

Bart, I forget sometimes that they make spark plugs! Similar internals though. Bill, I'm guessin your tranny is case fill? Dip stick goes into the case and not the pan? 96f350az, it looks like aluminum? if so more than likely planet failure.

it's from a 66 mustang... i have 1 complete and one unassembled, bead blasted, all parts are clean and ready to put together. Case fill? Yes, the tub goes to the case but its right above the pan. so, not sure exactly which is which.

I read where you mentioned that the filter dropped with the pan. You think that you may have dropped it and then starved the pump and cooked the planitary?
Here is where you can do the temp install.
And Gary aka GWR928 thanks for the tip on the TransGo
