Tranny Rebuild or ?
Posted: Fri Aug 26, 2005 6:07 pm
Hi Gang,
My gearbox is requesting some attention ? bad noises on my
trip to/from "The Weekend" at Monterey in my '66 S2. My
normally
sizzling shifter got worse and broke out into loud
shrieking/whining/howling twice in 3rd gear and gave a hint of doing
it in 2nd. So, a few questions:
1) Is there any other source of rebuild information beyond the
Workshop Manual?
2) Does anyone have any experience with the Quaife 5-speed
conversion?
3) Does anyone have a source for a bellhousing adapter if I make
the change to the Isuzu 5-speed conversion?
4) If I need to make the adapter myself, is there any chance
someone has drawings showing bolt locations for both the Ford block
and Isuzu transmission?
5) If I go the Isuzu route, has anyone worked out the details of
the clutch, drive shaft, and speedo drive changes?
TIA, Hopefully,
Curt
