what do you mean by dead completely? no forward gears at all? you have a zf5 tranny. im pretty sure any other manual trans f250 with a 5.0 or 5.8 would work. i dont think the 460 or the diesels have the same bolt pattern

Unless you are pressed for time, you can get a rebuild kit for around $360. Me and my buddy rebuilt my trany about a year and a half ago. Search ZF S542 rebuild. These transmissions were an option for all Ford trucks, Vans and Broncos from '87 to '95. Check this link ZF542 Ford Truck 5 Speed Manual Transmissions Rebuild Kits - Drivetrain.com

You can probably find a used one also. Looking around, a remanufactured one runs about $650 to $1200 depending on vender and core charge.

For the Hyd line for the clutch, use a small flat head screw driver to hold the inner plastic ring in place and pull out on the outer metal part. At first it a pain but, once you get it off you will see it's easy. A Chiltons or Hayns is good. Of course it will tell you you need a special tool, but you don't.
Hope this helps.

im assuming the zf has an internal slave? my m5od has an internal slave, and since i knew i would be replacing it when i dropped the tranny, i just beat the crap out of the slave with a hammer and a screwdriver until the hyd hose came out. it was a crude and unprofessional way to do it, but if you dont mess up the hose then it works out fine. a little frustration usually gets added into the mix beforehand.
