    When is too little not enough?

    I am hitting at a year after finishing (almost) a 6-1/2 year frame off and driving mine as a DD. My daily before the bronco was T-boned right when I finished the Bronco and I have yet to buy another vehicle. I never intended driving the Bronco daily, but it has been amazing enough I have yet to...

    OK. transmission is back in and it didn't kill me...lol. At first, it Wouldn't go in park and missed the valve the shift had to sit in. I re-installed the valve body with the drop down having the spring tension and linkage sitting in the correct spot of the valve. I tested the rooster and it...

    1. dang it! I could only get one out. Any tips to remove the 2nd one? 2. trans pump gears arrived. only problem is it does not freely slide over the two indentations on the TC. When I rotate to mate them, it finds the indentations but will only freely slide 3/8 of the way. I can tap it to sit...

    Thanks a million Viperwolf. makes me feel more confident doing this for sure...I do have a couple clarifications though :) 1. Pic stat1 looks like a ball in the hole. I drill that ball out? See image 2. Is this threaded hole supposed to be exposed? See pic Thanks TG

    OK, making progress!!!!. I have the C4 out, removed the pump and the gear was broken (see image). 1. I assume I need to order the pump rebuild kit that replaces that brass bushing that got scored, gears, gasket and seal (see kit option image) 2. Any additional parts needed to fix and...

    Viperwolf - Thanks for the reply 2. Fixing the cooler line won't solve your issues. -ok, so pull the trans then 3. Yes. You should be able to blow through both the front and rear cooling ports. Might try more pressure to free up the check balls in the front. This will only affect...

    C4 not engaging on new frame off

    OK. so I am unhooking everything from the trans to drop down and inspect and this happens. I'm thinking it might have been twisted actually before i started to remove it as it looks twisted both ways. This is on the forward most cooling outlet on the trans. Before this happened, I tried...

    I didn't add additional oil. I used the recommended lube in the Bad Shoe C4 video. So broke pump? Next step would be to remove C4 and acquire what parts? What will need to be replaced? Anyway to to test this is the case before pulling? Thanks a bunch - KO
