I have an 1988 f-150 with a 302 engine, and its a 4 speed. Now this 4 speed has granny gears and is shifts like a truck. What im looking for is a different transmision to put in my truck, but i dont know where to start. So any help on if i can change and rebuild the transmission, or if i have to buy an entire different settup. Please tell me if you know anything on what i should do, or have done. thanks
Well, if you don't mind changing the cross member, and various other things, a ZF found in the F250 and up is a good choice. Has the low granny gear like yours, but four more gears on top of that with a decent overdrive. The S5-42 can handle 420ft/lbs of torque too, so its not a "toy" transmission at all.
well i just rebuilt the engine and added over a hundred 100 hp, and im not that smart about gears soo i just need some help with that. Also im young and want my truck to run alot smoother and supposibly faster, soo if i can change out my trans to be equal with my engine now, then i know that it will run alot faster. I hope you are getting what i am trying to say
