Up until yesterday we were on track.One of the badly
damaged gears(reverse,burnt up etc) I didn't have in
stock.The gear was ordered re 2002 level,re trans assy
number etc.The gear Ford supplied was incorrect.After
checking and going over tooth count,pitch etc it turns
out that some gears fitted in the 2002 MTX's were at
2004 level...these later gears are not the same.Parts
in some of these gearboxes were used as a 'line trial'
for later design parts!No reference on the trans or
tech data!.I now have a correct part number re gear
count/pitch etc(after a chat with my old buddy Carl in
Ford transmission...Germany!)....The gear is going to
be sent on emergency from the USA Ford Ntl parts
depot...it 'may' make it here today,worse case
monday.I had the same issue with line trial boxes some
time ago on the V6's...again no reference on a any USA
parts list.I'll keep you posted.TH
