- I got a mig, a cuttin torch and a grinder,,and I ain't afraid to use em.
Hello All,,, I just got a 1984 BII with the 2.8, 4 Sp (5 SP?) and 4X4 with 85,456 real miles. I haven't got it to run as some thieves stole the starter, starter solenoid, ignition coil and the rear driveshaft,,,,,sheeesh,,, I got a new starter, and solenoid at O'reillys then I realized the ignition coil was also missing, along with the plastic connector,,,!!!
The reason the PO parked it was the trans had locked up in reverse and they broke the plastic "guides" on the shifter and shifter would just spin around and not go into any gear. I was able to find a used shifter at a wrecking yard today but it is not exactly like mine. I'm not sure if mine is a 4 SP or a 5 SP, but some literature on driver side visor states methods for overdrive shifting ( 5 SP?)
The metal part on MY tranny that slides forward and back or sideways does not snap back to center like the BII I took the shifter off of. The donor BII tranny seems to have some springs that make the "center part" where shifter goes,,snap back to center position. Hopin somebody can make sense of what I'm trying to describe.
Does anybody here have a manual that shows the shifter section of tranny for the 84's?? NOT lookin forward to pullin the tranny,,,,!!!
I went to the local Ford house to see if I could look at their tranny manuals and they told me they would fix it but did not loan out their manuals,,,,,,,,,S***A****'s,,,!!!!
Can anybody help,??
