1 if you're using a brush at all your doing

something wrong.

Gunk Original Formula.

it's just plain thin liquid spray like WD 40.

soak grunge on trans real good.

let sit awhile.

should come right off.

Have A Nice Day!

[56 ford custom]

Well I was told it was a breather line. Its an open line that points back towards the rear of the case.

[56 ford custom]

Well I have been cleaning the front section of the frame and the rest of the trans. Im still trying to find some literature and shop pictures of this trans and to prove to myself how the inlet hose hooks up to the water pump or if it has a t that splits it to the heater. Somebody here must have the same set up or have some pics.

some suggestions:

1 start a new post with that specific question

including as many pictures as you can.

2 get a manual.

http://www.forelpublishing.com/estor...?idproduct=343

there's an old timer sitting in Virginia waiting for

your $25 plus a couple of bucks shipping.

that link is for '64 manual, make sure you get a '60 one.

Have A Nice Day!

Well I am being told that this isnt the stock trans so I dont think that would do me any good.

[56 ford custom]

After talking with multiple people on different forums and on phone... This trans is correct for my truck. Also the "cooler" isnt a cooler its a "heat exchanger" if anyone here has the same set up please post pictures of how its all put together or a diagram from a manual. Thank you

[mchawk]

If anyone is still interested here is a diagram.

I have this same setup on my two 67 F250 camper specials with 352's, but the water lines come out of both sides of the block, diagram only shows one side.

The T- fitting in the lower radiator hose on both of mine rusted out and I had some made out of exhuast pipe.

I have since junked the heat exchangers on both because of leaks and plumbed to the lower radiator tank and then to a tranny cooler in front of the radiator.

Good afternoon fellas. Well I had put a stop on the transmission cooler situation for some time now and fully restored the chassis. Now im ready to figure out this issue. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Since you are undecided still and ask, here it is.

Do your self a favor and do as " rick55" suggested on 2-20-2012 post # 155 and forget the old "heat exchanger / cooler " . Put a good one in front of the radiator. I have been doing it that way for 20+ years and have never had any problems with my tranys when it is cold . I'v done it with both Ford and Chevy transmissions , no problems. Why do you think nobody is using the old "heat exchanger" ? They were crap and that's probably the reason Ford quit using them.

You ask and that's my humble opinion , have a good day.

I have decided to stay with the heat exchanger. I just need to connect it all correctly.

On my '71 F100 with a C6, I made a cooler out of parts from an old freezer, mounted it in front of the radiator. 30 years later still doing it's job
