84 bronco srod
I post to the wrong place twice now, but I'm hoping because the transmssion I'm working on is from an 84 bronco I might get better help here.
Can you use the shifter turret and forks from another transmission for the srod?
And does anyone here have any decent references that I can use for some more rebuilding help?
The one I'm working on has a bad rear bearing that needs replaced. I have been able to take the front one out and get the shift rods removed, but I'm having trouble with the shift forks coming out.
I found a youtube video of a t-176 rebuild that is very similar to the srod and an exploded view diagram of the parts for a 2wd version which I imagine is not that dissimilar to the one I'm using.
The reason I ask about the shifter stuff is because having a more forward mounted shifter would be more ideal for the vehicle it's going in, and I think the reassembly would go smoother too.
Anyway, I have gone on long enough so I appreciate any insight that anyone might be willing to provide
Thanks

There was a top shifted version of that transmission, but I doubt you could easily swap your tin top for the shifter top. If you found one you'd probably just use it as is.
Beyond that, you might be able to find the exploded view through parts suppliers.
Like so, or just go after the specific parts:

That is the site I found the exploded view of the transmission, but thank you for the link anyway. Shortly after I posted this set of questions I decided that just taking pictures of the assembly before its torn apart would be helpful enough.
I dont necessarily need the shifter more forward, the difference would be negligible to the effect and application. I was curious just because of so much of the similarity to other transmissions built on the same platform. As far as replacing the top cover goes, all the images i found on websites of the different gaskets seem to have all matching bolt patterns. Im not going to go out of my way to try and find another transmission or start buying things online, but if i go to a junk yard ill bring an old gasket to see if there is any interchange. I was mostly curious if the difference in fork arrangement would work being as one goes in from the top and the other goes in from the side, that and to remove the SROD forks you have to knock the roll pins out so you can remove the rods.
Either way, thank you again,

I can't say on the forks but as a guess it would need to be for an SROD also.
On the rail I think it is part of the tail housing, not close to mine at this time to look, but I would think if it came from a truck they would be all the same.
I think they used them in cars so maybe that would be different?

The shift rails are in the case and it has a bolt on extension housing that the shifter mounts to. All of the other transmissions of this type seem to have the syncros and gears in the same location in the box. The only obvious difference is the shifter housings and the way the shift forks mount inside the case versus in the housings. Either way I appreciate everyone's input.

I found this which references a street rodder magazine article from 1989 1992 and 2004 non of which i can find, but a written description of what needs to be done is included at the beginning.
