T170FT(RTS) manual trans
Found a 4 speed OD, aluminum case, T170(RTS) manual transmission in a 1982 F150 351W V8 with tower shift.
Believe this transmission was only available in 1984-1985 F150/F250 models.
Was this transmission common for the era?
Is this transmission considered rare?
Are rebuild parts expensive and difficult to locate?
How would it compare to the 4 speed T170F(RUG) OD top loader style manual transmission used in 1978-1984 F100/F150 models?

I don't know how it would compare to the other tranny, but it's considered weak compared to the granny 4 speeds. But it does have overdrive which can be important for fuel consumption. I have also heard complaints about the gears being spread too far apart, which drops the engine rpm too much sometimes.
We see a few on here that have problems and need repair, I am not sure how hard it is to find parts for it.

What transmission do you have? I see you posted in a 4 speed overdrive thread. Are you sure that is what you have?
