Synchros! What a luxury! My 49 had the non-sychro 4 speed. It was a great anti-theft device but it finally wore out and I put in a T-5. Huge improvement. I taught the grandkids to drive with the non-synchro transmission, and they're probably the only one of their friends who can row a manual transmission properly.
most manual transmissions have what's called a laygear and layshaft which may ride on a series of needle bearings. pulling the shaft will release the bearings. reassembly involves a tedious process that involves holding those bearings in position (usually with heavy grease) while inserting various other parts. it's always a hassle. there are instruction manuals that explain, clearly, how to do it.
He's a nice guy. I met him when he came into Carolina Driveline filming an episode for his Trans AM on his @3BB channel. He was nice enough to give us a shout out
Thank you for sharing your experiences with the Ford F1 transmission. Hope you get all the issues resolved soon. I too am having issues with my 1952 Ford F1. It comes out of 2nd gear when coming to a stop sign or going over a speed bump. (all other gears work perfect) I was told the synchro gear needs replacing. So for now, I hold the stick in 2nd gear position and it will stay in 2nd gear. Until it becomes a more serious issue I will continue to drive the truck. However, when it does become time to change transmission, where do you suggest I buy a rebuilt one? Or should I take it to my local transmission shop? Any suggestions will be helpful, thank you.

It's about $1200. I got this one supposedly rebuild with only 500 miles on it but I feel like this video shows it wasn't the truth. I only ran it in Edna for about two months. I may pull the worm gear for the speedometer and try to swap it onto the transmission thats in Edna now, (the one Chance and I rebuilt) maybe we will do a video trying to swap it without pulling the transmission out of the truck. Should be fun lol

I learned to drive on my dads 30 Model A. Double clutching all the way lol
Great work dude 🙂🙂
Chance is so cute

You can get them from Early Ford V8 Sales. I think Dennis carpenter has them too
"dog" can be a noun. but it can also be a verb. as a verb it means "to hunt", "to follow closely" and "to track".
That actually sounds cool
I'm about to drop my trans for this same problems...😐
It's a little intimidating the first time
Is it possible to purchase a rebuilt transmission reasonably?
