C6 Help!
I have an '85 F-150 4WD, with AT and a 5.0 out of an '84 Mustand GT with a fresh rebuild. With 33x12.50x15 tires and 15x10 aluminum wheels.
I was going up the road the other day when I noticed that when it ****ed into drive there was nothing there. After playing around with it I noticed that at high rpm's it was almost trying to pull in drive, it was like it was in passing gear or something like that. I was told that I needed to either change it or get it it rebiult that the drive gears where out of it. It never did make a noise or do anything to make you think that there was someting wrong. And beat it all, I had just had up the raod earlier that day with no signs what so ever that there was nothing what so ever wrong with it.
Anyway, the local tranny shop here wants $450 to $550 to rebuild. And I know that a rebuild would probably last another 10 years or so, but I thought I'd try something first. I recently purchased an '82 F-250 3/4 ton LWB, 4WD, and AT with an 351W down in it. It has been setting around for about six years and they had lost the title to it. I bought it for the body parts because most of them are pretty dog gone good shape and I can use them on my '85 F150, the motor needs a little work done to it too, and then off to the local scrap yard.
My question is - Will the tranny from the '82 F250 work in my '85 F150? I was told that even though they are both mounted to small engines that they were somehow different.
Any & All Help wil be Greatly Appreciated!
