need ford transmisson guy

[Sam1647545489]

I need to know if anyone knows a good transmisson guy to swap transmissons on a 89 ford bronco. I will buy the new one just need the install. I got the 4wd transfer case off and just need tranny swapped. It has the 350 v8 in it. Thanks smile.gif

Do you mean 351? Does the truck run now and your converting it to 2wd? What exactly do you need done?

whoops I just saw that, I meant 351. It runs great. What happened was it was my neighbors and the tranny went, then he had some of his friends try and fix it. I dont know what they did, they said they stripped one of the starter bolts and cant get it off to take out the tranny. Thats all that is holding them back. Then of course they left town 2 days ago. The owner said he will sell it to me as is for 400$. I want to buy it just need to fix the tranny. Dont want to put to much money in it. I go take pics of what is done. All it needs is a rebuilt tranny put in.

If you don't want it, I'll buy it. Sounds like a mess and a headache, but hey. (prepairs for beating from wife)

You think you can fix it?

Almost all transmission failures are cused by heat, and as the tranny fails bits of debrit go through the tranny cooler. Most people replacing transmissions don't think about this and experience failures of the new units shortly after installing them. Be sure to flush the tranny cooler or you will be buying another tranny. It's not that hard to change; since it's not your primary ride make it your $400 project. It'll be worth it for the experience.

Sure, finding time would be the problem. The biggest potential problem is the "mess" of someone else's work. I've seen some jacked up shit.

OK now I really need to get someone to fix it. All I have to do is give the guy 150$ to get it and then pay to have the tranny fixed. Anyone want to make a couple hundred bucks.
