Ford FMX trans

you'd have to see where the support hits the tranny's see if they're the same length. and then find a drive shaft that will fit, if the current one doesn't.

 

I have a lead on a '77 LTD with a C-6, '9 inch rear, and 400 cid. The 4 door has been sitting for 5-7 years. So yea, the trans will have to be rebuilt but all the other drive line parts "should" be there.

 

Did you ever get this tranny straightened out, nut?

 

I'm just going to get the FMX rebuilt......as soon as I get the cash to do it. I checked all the vac lines and modulator.....all checked out fine.

 

That'll work. The kiss approach is always cheapest and easiest. Just get a guy that knows that tranny well...he may do some tweaking that other shops may not know about.

 

When I had my '77 CS, I had this shop rebuild the C-6 that was in there. The guy knows his craft, that C-6 felt like it was brand new. I took my '78 to him to look it over, he drove it. Came back said it was simply wearing out, just needs a rebuild. He has been rebuilding transmissions since 1975, he went into detail about the FMX.......so yea, none the less I trust him and his shop.

 

Good deal, that's what you need. Keep us posted when you get 'er all done and up and running.
