Re: are disc brake conversions bad ?

In all the posts I've seen about mechanical vs hydraulic (or in this case disk) brakes, IMO, this is the crux of the matter.

As has been previously stated, for normal daily driving, properly...

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

I think I found this online and downloaded to my PC at home. Give me a couple days to check. Probably be Thursday since I work from home that day.

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

Well if you must know. It's not for the faint of heart. You'll need:

Jeep T177, J8132401 / T170-16S
INPUT SHAFT JEEP 19T (this will become the new 19T OD gear)

A commonly available 4th OD...

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

Richard,

See attached pics. The shaft on the far left (in the group of 4) is an iron case car transmission shaft and the diameter is too small to spline for Model A u-joint. The two middle shafts...

Re: Dreaded stuck timing gear nut

I've seen red locktite used on the cam/nut before. So, if that's the case it's going to take some heat to get it to break free.

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

Dave,

You are correct about the T170 internals. There is a small toggle lever that pivots in the bulge on the left side of the transmission case. This reverses the operation of the shift fork so...

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

This can be and has been done. The iron case, Ford toploader and toploader imposter (O.D.) are the same class of transmission as the Tremec T170 and Jeep T176, many of the parts are interchangeable...

Re: 4 Speed w/o Overdrive

Hi Gene,

The answer to your question is somewhat convoluted.

I’ve been exploring the Jeep T176 and Ford iron case toploader transmissions as a possible solution to the scarcity of the Ford T170...

Re: V8 Clutch for model A

Hi Sofield,

I'm in the process of installing the Tremec T170 trans in my PU and am using the T-Bird (diaphragm) clutch.

A study has been done on this. The gist being that most star washers perform well, even when exposed to marine environments for extended periods.

Re: F150 tranny with overdrive

This is true but parts are out there.

By total random chance, I got lucky and found a brand new cluster, the one needed to make the Goldilocks ratio, mis-listed on eBay as a Jeep cluster; none of...

Re: Odd-ball 30 Pickup......

This conversion must've happened sometime before 1956 based on the receipts found between the bed and back of the seat. We got the car in 76 and I've been driving it up until last year when the...

Re: Tremec T170 Transmission Troubles (this issue may be a puzzle)

Probably within a month or two. I literally just started documenting the process. Got a lot of other things going on that hinder my attention to projects like this.
