Identifying LZ gears
How can I tell a set of LZ gears from regular Ford sets ? One of my spare transmissions supposedly has them .
Thanks , Gary |

Re: Identifying LZ gears
What is the tooth count on the large front gear on the cluster gear? LZ’s were either 25 or 26 teeth.

Re: Identifying LZ gears
There are lots of gears. Gotta go to Mac VP's sight and study the tooth count and application charts

Re: Identifying LZ gears
Common main drive gear tooth count is 15 or 16. LZ is 18 or 19. I use the oil hole for reference and can count this pretty quick. Common cluster is 28 or 29 (big end) and LZ is 25 or 26. Harder to count in a dirty, oily transmission. Rule of 44: 15/29, 16/28, 18/26, 19/25.

Re: Identifying LZ gears
Put a grease pencil mark on one of the teeth of large gear on the lower cluster. Count as you rotate. If it is 25 or 26, you have an LZ gear set.
