i need to know if all borg warners are the same ihave one mounted to a 4sp trans and want to know if i can mount it to a zf 6spd

 

There are two BW models that for used, the BW 1345 and the BW 1356. I think the 1345 was phased out around 1984ish??? Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Both the models use the same mounting systems, both to the crossmember and to the tranny output.

There may be differences in spline counts for output shafts of the transmissions, maybe someone else has more knowledge on the specifics, but that's my best shot.

Good luck!

 

I have an 87 F150 302 Np 435 with a 1356 so unless there is a adapter i don't think it will without the adapter considering the ZF 6 spd is new and the 435 is an old 4 spd with a different bolt pattern.

 

thanks for the info ill go count the splines unclejunk

 

the 1345 was still in use in 88. don't know about later though, the newest shop manual i have is 88

 

You never said what year zf, I'm guessing a 1356 would bolt up, The 1345 was much shorter and different drop angle.

 

Think it is fairly new at least within the last 2 yrs for that ZF 6 spd.

 

the zf is for a 1989 diesel and the 4spd isd out of a 87 f350 witha 351w

 

Guess i learn something new everyday i didn't think there was a 6spd tranny back in 89 or is the trany New ?

 

Just FYI..My stock ZF-6 (02 F-350) is mated to a NP transfer case, not a BW. What year ZF-6 were you looking at? They started putting them behind the 7.3PSD in 99 and the 5.4 & 6.8 in 02 (i believe).

 

I guess I'm not 100% sure, other than the year gives it away. I have a ZF 5spd at work that a 1356 bolts right up to, its from a BB truck 80's model. Since Borg had the contracts in the 80's ford for the T/C I think it would bolt right up.

 

Okay i got a pm from uncle junk he was misinformed he has a ZF 5spd so as witdog2020 pointed out you should be able to use that 1356 T-case with that ZF.

 

if it is a diesel ZF 5 speed, the 1356 is the t-case that came on it.

 

thanks im going to try and bolt it all together todayafter work

 

as Long a the ZF was from a 4X4, you should not have any problems.check the trans to t-case shaft connector for proper splines. also, before you go to all the bother putting it together, check that the lower trans mount bosses on the adapter are not broken, and that the t-case shifter mount holes are not stripped. i have seen a few of them broken due to the steel bolts seizing to the aluminum housing, and when you try to take them apart the boss snaps. the adapter housing is $200 from ford.
