« on: May 31, 2026, 12:10:37 PM »
I have a RUG M3 wide ratio from a 1969 Mustang/Cougar 390 that I need to go through. Casting date on the C8 main case is 02/06/1969. I've looked on David Kee's site and have the book he sells. The question is, would this transmission have type 3 or type 4 detents and springs? Second question, are the 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 shift rails the same or slightly different? The problem I'm trying to fix is, it really doesn't want up shift into 3rd gear but will. But it will not downshift from 3rd into 2nd gear. Any input will be appreciated. Chuck

I used PM 9406 on the Dyno and it worked fine.Engine not yet installed. After reading Jay's post I'm questioning by choice. Chuck

Thanks for the link. The work you did is very cool but, way past my fabrication skill level. Chuck

Does anyone have experience with sub-frame connectors for 66/67 Comet/Fairlane? What works well for under the floor connectors. My primary concern is not bending the car if it ever hooks up. Thanks in advance. Chuck

Should I include the swear words in the log? (kidding) A good suggestion, thanks. The right side is one piece. the left side is two piece. 5 and 6 slide on to 7 and 8 (Doug's PN 625S). I'm not sure of the best way to approach the installation. I have a drive on lift but I'm not sure that the ramps won't get in the way. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

It is going into a 1966 Cyclone GT 4 speed, assuming I can eventually get the Doug's headers installed. :)

Thanks. I had to learn and re-learn a LOT. I had not touched an FE since 1978.

Thanks all. Scott, the Dyno owner ejected me from the shop when I shared your idea. But, thanks anyway. Chuck
