Evidently the range fork is not supposed to look like this.

I also found an easy way to split the cases thanks to a buddy of mine.
Two prybars back to back on the split tabs and just pushem together. will try to get the wife to take a demonstration pic later.
Found a new fork and pads local for $70 and change. They make an upgraded main shaft and forks I found anywhere from $333 to $500+ but not local so if the first fork went 270k miles I would be happy with half that on the second one. Now to get it all back together correctly.

I clicked on the first link's properties box. It is a PHP type
file and PHP files are not on the list of allowable attachments.

The fork pic is a JPEG file type so it worked OK.

Just FYI when taking the tail housing off useing this method one might want to leave a loose bolt in. Or have someone standing by to catch it when it pops off. Mine flew off and bounced across the concrete garage floor a few times. Nothing hurt though.

Now going back together?? Do you all think ultra grey high torque RTV will do the job? Also I am looking for some torque specs as well if anyone has any idea. I will keep looking in the mean time. I know I have a ford cd around here somewhere just not sure if it has specs if I can even find it.

thanks

That rtv should work. Just high temp rtv is good enouh to seal it.

Are the case bolts metric? What size?

EDIT:

Just found this in the service manual DVD:

NOTE: Use a crisscross pattern when tightening the case bolts. Torque is 23 lb/ft.

Took me awhile to find it. My laptop OS crashed 2 weeks ago and I just reloaded the Ford TSO so I could run the disc.

Still finding things that have to be reloaded.

My T case is making a racket in my 99. I am assuming yours is a NP 273. My is electric shift. How many splines on your shaft? I am planning to do a complete rebuild. Thanks for pics.
