Reply to "Ford C6 automatic transmission help needed"

Finally got the TCI Sizzler trans from across the Atlantic. I forgot how much "fun" it is to switch gearbox from beneath, especially on a Longchamp where the crossmemeber is welded in, not bolted. And when I uploaded the new trans, I tightened the trans oil cooler fitting too much so it broke off in the trans

. So I had to lower the trans again, then it was easy to get the broken fitting out fortunately.

I went for a short drive around the block today (no license plates) and the trans appeared to shift perfectly.

Moving the gear lever from one trans to the other, I had to open the old trans, and I think I found (at least one of) the reason(s) why it killed itself. There was no spring to ensure the detents, so if the gear lever was not adjusted exactly right, the trans could have been between gears...
