Fmx=mx-hd?
I just got my factory manuals for my 67 and there is nothing about an FMX, just MX-HD. Yet everyone uses "FMX" all the time. Are they the same thing? Some say yes, some no... I dont see rebuild parts under MXHD but i do see them for FMX. What the????

I found a good site for Identifying Transmission for those in the future. Very FEW people on these boards know anything about the MX Trans and call it an FMX but that is wrong i now know. So for those doing a search for info in the future here it is: http://www.bulkpart.com/fordid.html
The MEDIUM Case Cruso is an MX! And yes, there are rebuild kits for it.

Years ago I had a '69 Cougar. Factory service manual said the transmission was an FMX. It was a manual shift automatic. In D it worked like any other. In 2 it stayed in 2, even from a dead stop. Manual said it was supposed to work like that.

The cougar is a car so it might not apply in the case of trucks for the same years.

The first time you end up with an xAOD vehicle and expect it to behave like the older trannies, you're in for a slight suprise
