Hopefully it's not bad. I never let people borrow my truck, or any of the other stuff I have. I always tell them, I will haul that for you. And I also use the insurance thing, saying I have it insured where I am the only one that can drive, pull, haul, with my equipment.
Good luck.

He flushed the fluid and it came out a purplish color. Added a quart of the Lucas stuff and it is still doing it. He said that it seems as if 1st or 2nd gear is just holding for too long...until you let off the gas (sticking valvebody?) How would I go about checking/fixing/inspecting a vb? Which "valve" is it and how do I find it and fix it?

Took it to a trans shop and the scanner tells me what I couldn't figure out...it's not late 1-2, it's skipping 2 and going to 3. So, he told me the sprag for the intermediate drum or the clutches are toast...yay...rebuild...yay. Would order a trans but the bellhousing has been welded on...yay...have to have this one rebuilt...yay...
Unless I can find a used one that someone pulled to replace with an aftermarket? Or from a wrecked vehicle?
BTW, got ahold of the ford workshop manual (badass!)...is that thing pretty dummy-proof for me to self-rebuild this trans (assuming I get the right tools?)

I don't know where to find those, but someone will chime in.

Well, turns out it is most likely going to be cheaper to do this myself...no big deal, just time and money. Anyone local know the ins and outs of rebuilding these things that would care to supervise/advise to my building? I have a Ford workshop manual that has the down and dirty directions...removal and installation of the parts is no big deal...it's the inspection of the hard parts that worries me. A trained eye would be nice to have to double check.
Wouldn't be doing this until late August or September.
Thanks,
Jesse
