Caution for Drivers using Auto Restorations T5 Kit

[woodiewagon46]

I don't know about the transmission kit you are using, but I do know something about welding. Those weld beads on the end of the radius rods were very cold with zero penetration. Of course they can be saved, and rewelded properly, but it looks like you made up your mind to replace the kit. For one thing I would certainly contact the people that sold the kit and let them know about the shoddy weld, you may save someone's life.

Here in the Antipodes the T5 gearbox is fitted to Fords and Holdens (GM)
Supposedly the Ford T5 Box will bolt straight into the Bell housing adaptor for the F150 3+1 box
