I'm interested in learning to rebuild ford transmissions, what are the best shop manuals to get?
Thanks, oj

Not sure what years your talking about. But I have this one. It's a reproduction of the original ford service manual. I am sure they have them for many years and generations. But it is very thorough and covers everything from mechanical, electrical, and even body and frame.. Nice manual.

If you are refering to 1932 thru 1950 light duty 3-speeds, you will need Mac VanPelts transmission book. He has them on his web-site and they are available from other vendors too. If you are looking for more modern stuff then you will need specific manuals for each type.

Mac's book is essential...he goes beyond the shop manual level and also pulls together information that Ford scattered through parts books and service bulletins, getting it all in one place for the first time ever.
