changing boxes

[ABZV8]

Folks,

Can anybody tell me excactly what it is I need to make this work? I have looked through the forums but can't find the answer...

I have a 1975ish Ford 302 which is currently fitted with an auto box and I have got myself a Getrag 265. Apart from the adaptor plate which I believe is available from Ken at AK, what else do I need? I am basically looking for a list of part numbers from someone who has already done this.

Cheers,

Mark

Hi mark,

You will probably need:

new/altered prop shaft
new gearbox mounts
alterations to wiring loom for reverse gear sender
alterations to speedo cable
possibly new hole for gear stick

Master cylinder
Slave cylinder
Possibly new bell housing

The above PLUS flywheel to replace your flexplate.

Ahhhh, a flexplate. Never had anything to do with auto boxes so I wasn't sure about the flywheel.
Does anyone know off the top of their head if the original bellhousing can be used?

My TH350 autobox bell housing is part of the gearbox casting. I'm guessing you have a Ford C4 trans. This loose 'bellhousing' propably won't fit anything other than a C4 trans.

Mine came in the AK adapter kit along with a sleeve fitted into my new release bearing:thumb:

You will need a clutch and fork as well

I would say the lists above cover pretty much everything although a swear box, loads of wonga, time and some sticky plasters should get the job done

Cheers folks,

Looking at the list above I reckon the only thing that I already have is the swear box!!
