I have a 78 F-100 with the 3 speed that is jumping in 1st. Looking at swaping to a 4 speed manual. Is this possible?

Any good book on the manual transmission rebuild? Suggestions welcome! I believe the previous owner may have dropped out one of the bearings while putting in a clutch. I need to pull and inspect the trans.

 

yes, its possible. i replaced my clark 4sp. for a 3sp. which i converted for the floor shifter. all you need is a longer driveshaft. i miss that overdrive! but its good for pulling.

Do you still have the 3 speed?
