5 speed tranny

[inline6dude]

I have a 1990 ford f-150 300c.i. and my5 speed tranny leaks bad, especially when it sits level. i'm not sure what to do or what it will cost so someone let me know....thanks...also if this helps any, it shifts into 2nd gear a little rough, sometimes third

Hey zap... thanks for the welcome...the tranny mainly leaks from the back, im not too sure what its called, i think it's the tail end, but i had the rubber piece where the driveshaft goes in replaced, and i was amazed when the old one was taken out because it wasn't a circle. It looked like someone dropped it on its side, i had it fixed the best it could be(About 2 months ago).. but anyway i looked at that a few days ago and its looks a little bit chewed up and leaking again. I don't know what to do im only 17 and i have put so much money into this thing, i just want it to be fixed..thank you so much

the real problem would be most likely a worn tailshaft bushing or bearing and seal...changing the seal to the driveshaft wont do much but a local tranny shop will help you out...zap!

Hey thanks zap i really appreciate it...would that also be a reason why you hear this weird kind of swishing noise, i can't explain it too well but it happens when it's in neutral, and stops when i push the clutch down..the noise happened after the slave cylinder was put in...Thanks man
