F150 tranny with overdrive

Well folks if you have any leads on the 22t input for the "Goldilocks" transmission please let me know. Think I have everything or a path to everything I need for the build!

I’m curious. Did you replace that with something better on your car? If so, what did you choose?

Just looking for an input shaft. Down to the one part for the project.
Would appreciate any leads or suggestions.

Thanks to all that have helped. Should have the OD gear from the machine shop this week and have started assembling the "Goldilocks". Sure I will have lots more questions. :-)

Does anyone have a lead on an output shaft for this transmission?

Thanks for the followup. Many times members ask a question and forget to let us know how it worked out. We all learn from these posts.

Thanks for asking the question Ray, I have been wondering the same.

Bare with me folks. Trying to post a photo. Not sure this is going to work???

If the picture comes through my question is about the reverse rail and what appears to be damage?
I assume that it is due the interlock pin "riding" on the shaft over time. I have disassembled two different shifters and they appear similar. It may have damaged the bore a bit.
Should I just polish the shaft to remove the slight burr I feel? Or do I need to need to do something different?

Thanks in advance for the help.

I have an output shaft for the T170 for sale if you are still looking for one, etc.

Since the Mitchel trans and OD unit have lifetime waits, I have been reading old posts regarding other transmission swaps. The comments about the T5 having a too low 1st and a minimal OD ratio makes me wonder about the differential gears. Are these comments based on a 3.78 rear end? Would a 3.54 gear set improve the drivability of a T5?

Did I miss something in this thread? What about the front wishbone breaking?

Buying all of this in a kit is very appealing to me. Gosh think about it; a Burtz engine, this 5-speed (synchronized), a heavy duty radiator, and cast iron drums, and your A would be almost indistructable. The thing would basically last forever with a little maintenace here-and-there. You could run it on the freeway all day without it chewing itself up.

???? Why would the front wishbone break with the f150 trans change ?

(sorry not rereading 17 pages of posts)

The T5 transmissions you keep reading about with TOO LOW 1st gears is what happens when folks don't do their homework. Almost everyone HEARS that they need the Chevy S-10 T5 which will place the shifter much further forward than most other T5s. Actually, folks need ONLY the tail housing and short shifter rod from an S-10 pickup which will readily swap (bolt-on) onto something like a V8 Camaro T5 which has the close-ratio gearset. The V8 Camaro gearset has a 2.95 1st gear ... PERFECT! That 1st gear in a complete S-10 T5 is going to be either a 4.03 or a 3.76. Those two S-10 1st gear ratios are good for nothing but pulling stumps and parades!

It stresses them, and they then to break.

I think theres some confusion on your part, you might be thinking of the REAR radius rods when using an open driveline. Forcing some to self-engineer ways to locate the rear axle with the now missing torque tube
The front wishbone on my 31 CCPU mounts to the bottom of the AA bellhousing just like it did when Ford made it only with the A housing.
Where is this mysterious stress coming from ?

V8COOPMAN, thank you for your reply. Your link to the T5 conversion with torque tube is quite helpful.

No. One of the guys in our club put in the open driveshaft conversion, and he skipped the front wishbone. Once on a tour, he get agressive with the throttle, and he ended up on a tow truck. Some of the companies sell a beefed-up unit.
