SEMA 2024

That’s really cool. Enjoy the show and the new trans. I just finished a zf5 swap in my 78 a couple years ago. It was a lot of work with a lot I’ve custom parts. Wish the 4050 had been available then. It would have saved time and probably money.

It looks so tiny in this lineup, like a model car of a different scale than the others.

But so much more attractive

The bigger is better doesn’t always apply

I was told that it would probably get the most looks...

Looks a lot like the ZF tranny

I wonder how the 4050 shifts compared to the old ZF trannies? I didn't hate the ZF when I had one but they were slower shifting than I would have liked.

The biggest advantage to the 4050 over the zf is the separate bell housing. The zf’s is massive and gets in the way of everything under a 2nd gen. Being able to use a stock clutch and flywheel without an adapter is a big plus as well. Since the 4050 also uses atf for lubricant I wonder how noisy it’s is. The zf has pretty bad roll over noise with the thin fluid.

I'm sure @904Bronco can give us more info on its shift feel but I think it's a little nicer than the NP435/NV4500/ZF feel that many of us are used to. I've shifted them a few times in displays at SEMA and it definitely has shorter throws than the older transmissions.

First thought was - glad it’s a BIG Bronco. An EB would have looked like a Matchbox

Second thought was, that’s a damn fine looking 2nd Gen! And it sure will tick the others off when folks walk past theirs to see yours

I'm going to post some random pictures from today's walk around... This company is doing coyote conversations on the gen 6. There is a 6R behind it, with F 150 T-case, currently stock axles.

More later... Busy day and the show really starts tomorrow.

Does it run? I didn't think anyone was able to crack the programming yet.

I will have ask on what programing he is using....

My NP435 has a noisy 3rd gear and was tired, hammered, and put away wet. I found it very notchy to operate. The NV4500 was definitely notchy to run through the gears. I have not really driven anything with the ZF. The 4050 has some truck like shifting, but not like the first two. Shifts are smoother in my opinion, but it was designed to be a truck transmission, so....

Noise, there is some but I don't notice it much once I'm cruising at 65-70 mph. I hope that answers some of your questions...
