Hey, dudes and ladies! I'm new here, been meaning to join here for a couple years but I've been putting off working on my truck. Anyway, the 5 speed manual trans in my dads '05 FX4, 4.0L, 4WD of course, basically grenaded and I'm trying to help him find rebuild parts. He apparently has everything except for gear synchros. The local dealership has them but the cost of those parts plus the other required parts and labor is quite a bit more expensive than a low milage salvage yard trans, so I'm trying to help him locate the synchros from a non dealership source.
My problem as of now is that I'm having trouble nailing down part numbers. Apparently Ford used 2 different 5 speed manuals transmissions that year, and the two share a lot of parts in common, but not synchros. He did get a set of synchros but they were the wrong ones accoring to him, but he is not detail oriented and I can't get a solid answer as to...well anything really.
Can anyone tell me for sure what part numbers he will need to replace the synchros in his 5 speed manual? I kinda got the idea that the 4 wheel drive has one model of 5 speed manual and the rear drive has another model of 5 speed manual. Is that true?
Where would you order the parts from if you were rebuilding the trans?
Thanks in advance for the help. People sometimes get pretty annoyed with my forum posts being that I sometimes don't know when I'm going into too much detail...
