well guys it happened today. my tranny went. i think anyway. I was accelerating and then I heard a noise and then I had nothing. No drive in any gear. My truck is a 90 F150 with a 302. I don't know what kind of tranny I have. But I just hope it is something simple. Thanks guys

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 11-Jan-01 AT 02:51 PM (EST)[/font][p]Beleive it or not, but it could be your rearend as well. I had a similar experience with a '76 F150 auto about ten years ago. Thought the tranny went, turned out I burnt up an axle bearing.
Bought a set of second hand axles and pot for about $40 and problem solved. Wasn't anything wrong with the pot but the 'new' axles where 28 spline and the old pot was 32 spline.

I checked to see if it was the rear end and it's not cause the driveshaft wasn't spinning.

it's auto and 2 wheel drive. I guess that info is important.

does the C6 tranny have overdrive in it? I know it is a really heavy duty tranny. So if I had the AOD or E4OD would I be able to swap in a C6. BTW, I have a little switch on my dash that turns the O/D off if that helps

hey taurus,
get your VIN number or get the Transmission code off of the door jam of your truck post it back on the site and i'm sure someone will be able to decode it for you and tell you exactly what type and name of the transmission you have!
good luck

The O/D switches are on trucks with the E4OD I think. Those things are a bit expensive to replace I think. If it is an E4OD I don't think you'll be able to swap in a C6. You probably could, but it can get tricky dealing with the transmission wiring.
