This trans is a "weak sister" .. was installed after the 1st Arab Oil Embargo ended in an effort to improve MPG / One speed shift, you can kiss the little darlin' goodbye.

thanks for the info but the tranny i am using is not a rug sr od it is a three speed with an over drive tag # rug bp fg. If the tranny is that weak could you suggest another tranny i could use. I have 3.89 gears and need the overdrive i dont want my engine spinning at 3200 rpm at 60 mph its hard on the engine and mpg.

1965/71 F100's were available with the Warner T-85N 3 speed with O/D. The O/D unit itself bolts to the back of the transmission.
