Professional Overhaul Advice
When overhauling the Power Reversing Transmission, cleanliness is paramount. The torque converter is a welded unit and must be thoroughly cleaned with paraffin-base solvent until clear. When setting the countershaft pre-load, use a pull scale and cord wrapped around the shaft to achieve the specified 14-27 lb pull. For rear axle service, always verify the differential bearing pre-load by shimming until the gap is within .001 to .006 inch before installing the axle housings. Use only Ford M2C41-A lubricant to ensure optimal performance of the wet disc brake assemblies and planetary components.
