Pulled the extension housing to replace the gaskets and trans mount.
But it's cracked :(

So, now I get to find a 4R70W :nice: and waist more money on my Bronco :(

how did you do that?

[fireguy50]

full throttle U-joint failure, driveshaft yoke slamed into the transfercase yoke.
the shock wave broke lots of parts:

entire driveshaft
yoke
transfer case
transmission case

Congrats - I think! :lol:

Seriously, I'm very proud of you. :jester:

[fireguy50]

gee thanks guys.

I ordered a 4R70W from a 2001 Mountianer with only 36,000 miles for $600 shipped.
Ford got the 4R70W updates completed in 1999, so it should handle big power with simple upgrades

Not sure what computer or tuning software I'll run:
1996-01 Explorer (need to convert TFI to coil pack and OBD-II)
1996-97 F-150 (need to convert to OBD-II)
1994-95 Mustang (need convert A9L to U4P0)

I think you should polish the case while it is out... :jester:

[ncontt]

looks like that trans mount was pretty FUBAR'd as well...lol

[fireguy50]

Yeah, I screwed up the mount getting the trasnfer yoke off.
I removed it in the vehicle with a 3ft breaker bar.

[ncontt]

ouch, for sure
