Hey everyone, I'm new to this forum but myself have owned a 67 bronco in the past. Sorry this is going to be so long. Anywho, my buddy has a 77, it's in great shape for being from washington, and then now being in Alaska where he bought it about 2 weeks ago, where we are stationed. It has a fuel injected 351 and what I believe to be a C4 automatic, a 3 core radiator, deep sump pan with cooling fins and a shift kit. It was the first heavy snow of the season and a 3 day weekend. He's locked front and rear and we took it on some deep trails on base for a nice joyride after having some fuel pump problems cured. We got a little stuck in some fallen over logs and dead brush and the snow didnt help out. We must have spent about 45 minutes rocking back and forth in drive and reverse, red lining quite a few too many times. We got unstuck eventually and made it to the road but then noticed a lot of boiling, hot tranny fluid spewing out of the inspection cover, right where the engine bolts to the bellhousing, all and all i think we lost about 1 - 2 quarts. We let it sit and called a buddy to pick us up so I could go get my truck and tow it home. Started it up to see if it was still puking and it was, a lot, neutral or park, figuired it was just still hot. We got my truck and came back to the truck, it should be cool by now, it had fluid on the dipstick so we started it up. and put it into gear, nothing. Reverse, nothing. Nothing, it wouldnt move in any gear. The shift lever for the column is still attached to the tranny and does move, I made sure of it. It was only dripping slightly out of the inspection cover in neutral or park. This was odd also, it looked like steam was blowing out of the inspection cover, like a line had come undone in there and it was blowing smoke out of a tube, whatever it was it was definatly under slight pressure. It's sitting outside now and we have no idea where to start except add tranny fluid and go from there. Any Ideas? Thanks.
