No, thats a terrible deal. Can I get his number so that I can call him & tell him quit ripping you off. Please.

 

65Fury, disregard the Tcase because as I mentioned in my earlier post, the front output is on the wrong side of the vehicle. You may be able to resell the tcase and recoup some of the cost, but otherwise, it will be useless to you. Also, you need to know what year pickup the tranny came out of. If it came out of a H.O. truck, then the input shaft will be different and it will not mesh with your current engine without a shaft swap. Also, the clutch probably won't be up to the task of holding up to the power you're making. Never the less, the rebuilt tranny, alone, is well worth that price.

 

Thanks again guys, hey JAX, the tranny is from a 99 ctd and is an h.o tranny, just out of curiosity why wont the input work with my motor??

Oh ya one more thing, the transfercase was fully rebuilt too, but never installed in a vehicle. Plus i think the input shaft on the trans is 1 1/4" not the 1 3/8", is that bad or is it still just as good??? thanks


jason

 

I'm at 525hp or so & I twisted a 1 1/4" input a full turn. I wouldn't mess with the small shaft, get the big boy.

 

how much for a shaft upgrade??

Fury, someone is giving you some bogus info because the HO wasn't introduced until 2000 or 2001, I can't remember. DEFINATELY NOT 1999 THOUGH! The whole reason for the 1-3/8" shaft was because of the "High Output" of the 245 horse engines. The 99 was still rated at 235 and still had the 1-1/4" shaft. Hope this helps.

 

JAX, I know where theres a late 99 that has a 6spd and a HO motor, they are rare but they are real.

JAX, not to sound rude, but your alittle off base on your thinking. Think about it, if the input shaft index'ed into the crankshaft why would there be a need for a clutch? It would be a solid link and would be nearly impossible to shift. The only part of the input shaft that slides into anything is the tip, and that slides into the pilot bearing in the flywheel. The flywheel bolts to the crankshaft. The teeth on the input shaft slide into the clutch disk or disks connecting it to the flywheel when the clutch is enguaged.

65fury, as long as the flywheel bolts on to the crank OK, an it will, you should be in business. I think you might need the bellhousing adapter off the 99 but im not sure. Hope it all works out for you. I love to seeing 1stgens with some decent power, even if the power is made by a little P7100.

 

Exactly, this is why if you have a 5 speed you can upgrade to the larger shaft. No need to change the crankshaft.

 

thanks guys ya i was a little confused about the input shaft working with my crank cause i know they dont go together, well im gion to meet the guy monday so i'll see what size shaft for sure it is.

Hahahahaha thanks, yup, its just a little easier to make 500hp with the p7100 but you gotta love the old body style alota new fords and chevys have found that old don't mean slow

Valair's website lists the shaft @ $700

 

You guys will have to excuse my brain fart

 

Jayers, if someone is telling you that the 99 you're reffering to is a HO, they're wrong. My 99 had to be special ordered with the 6spd and 4:10s, not to say that the 6spd is ultra rare in the 99s, but it's not super common either. That 99 may indeed have a HO pump on it that someone put on afterwards, but there were no HOs in 99........none. All 99s that came with the 5600 were rated at 235 hp.

 

I think Peter sells them for $600 or so, not real sure.
