Guys, let's keep in mind the OP is referencing his issue to a MANUAL transmission here. As far as what your problem is, an obvious issue with your 3-4 shifter fork for starters. As far as what to do, to repair it is going to require removal and disassembly, no beating around the bush. The good news is the ZF-6 transmission has pretty much been identical internally from 1999 up to and including 2010 model year Super Duty trucks, save for differences in transmission cases with different bellhousing bolt patterns to suit different engine applications. With that in mind, parts should readily be available. However, this transmission is HEAVY so bear that in mind if you plan on removing it yourself to bring to someone who can overhaul it.

 

Here is the bottom of mine . I dont have anything like a checker board
patteren

I looked for anything oval shaped and can not find anything it is just solid metal

Here is the plate I found on the side of my transmission

 

You can just bite the bullet and buy a replacement transmission from Ford for the bargain basement price of $3791.33 minus $600 if you return your old transmission for a core credit from here as well:

I understand Mike Manual Trans

Do you know of a Inspec cover for manual trans???


But Right with Mike if 3rd and 4th Gears are GONERS Trans is coming Out

So you never get anything out of 3rd or 4th gears Right????

If the trans only issue was Grinding would be one thing Slave system or Clutch

But No 3 or 4 gear its coming Out

 

Thats a GREAT Price Mike

for a HD Diesel Trans Trans compleate


Does that come with Clutch and New Pressure Plate Mike?????

In my mind it wont

there is no 3rd or 4th at all .

 

With an automatic transmission you must have access to the torque converter to bolt it to the flex plate. Nothing in the bellhousing has to be bolted up when installing a manual transmission, so I wouldn't expect any access plug.

 

Am I detecting a little bit of sarcasm in the expression of that opinion by any chance? Sarcasm or not, the cost of the internal parts needed to overhaul the OP's unit plus the cost of the labour involved with disassembly and overhaul (which by the way requires use of heavy duty pullers, presses and not to mention a deep fryer to heat up one of the bearings if I recall correctly) are things to consider, versus the cost of outright purchasing a replacement and dumping his for core to be someone else's headache.

In answer to your question, no it does not come with clutch and pressure plate. You can purchase those parts in what I like to call a "7L596" kit.

 

Excellent explanation Mark. Very good use of grammar and spelling in your explanation as well.

But on this particular transmission, the slave cylinder is actually very easy to remove, if one desires quick access to view the condition of the clutch components. Simply grasp the plastic slave cylinder and press it toward the engine, while simultaneously turning the cylinder about an eighth to a quarter of a turn counterclockwise and then pulling outward to remove. Once removed, be mindful of the slave cylinder rod dangling free of the cylinder.

 

No Sarcasm at ALL Here Mike!!!!!

Fotr a Compleate rebuilt HD Diesel trans you just Bolt in and Go is Great Price I think

 

This is Great Info You SChooled me Again today Mike

You can fix these trucks in your sleep LOL

Thanks for the Help

 

If possible can you post a Pic of this Slave Cylinder Since Mike has told us how to get it out Now!!!

Installed

Removed

If not no biggie Good Luck

 

Ok new developement. I just went out to the truck and put it in 1st and let the clutch out till it just barely started to grab and raised the idel up to about 2 grand and keep it there for a few mins and for a few sec's I could feel 3rd AND 4TH . I did that several times with the same results. Then the last time I did it the clutch pedal wouldnt come back up but after a min or two it did.

 

So could it just be the Slave cylinder???

IDK How to test it

How Many Miles???
