    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Magruder, you rock! I haven't gotten an engine tune or tried to fix the 4-low yet. Everything else is still working great. That's the problem, now that it's driving I just want to drive it. I bought paper Ford Expedition factory service manuals but I didn't manage to do the hard work that...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Way to go! I wonder how different it is on the earlier Expeditions. Did you need to re-do the transmission cross member? I have used a cheap gps for a speedo before, like a ten year old Garmin GPS III. Putting a sender in the tranny wasn't that bad. I think a piece of nylon without internal...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Hey, stop by some time! I found out the key wouldn't come out of the switch once I took the column shifter off. I got around to fixing that yesterday. I had to take the steering wheel off to remove the plastic covers. There was a teeny spring loaded plastic thingy that I safety wired back...

    Headers-sorry if this has been talked about

    The Pacesetter Y pipe fits the headers really well, and nothing else will except a custom exhaust. The Y pipe won't even come close to the stock manifolds. I wouldn't do it in stages unless you plan to run open headers! If you do I want to hear it!

    Headers-sorry if this has been talked about

    Gen 3 long tube headers I have an 03 expedition. If Pacesetter said they have headers to fit a Gen 1 I'd give them a try. If you have broken exhaust studs/bolts you might as well take the stock manifolds off anyway and try the Pacesetters. Definitely use a tap to clean up the threads in the...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Hey, thanks! I always figure "bolt on" means you need a mill, a lathe, and a tig welder to get it to fit! I don't see any reason a real header maker couldn't do an Expedition version. I can't wait to see if my fuel mileage is better.

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    I keep wondering if I did it the hard way. Thanks for the comments! I got my shift boot on and the shifter arm pretty close to where I want it. Need to put one more piece of trim back on in front of the boot.

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Fixed the speedo I fixed my speedo today. The ZF has no VSS. Neither does the B-W transfer case or the rear differential (like on an F250?). I took the sensor off the auto and looked in the hole. There is a metal ring with six holes in it about 7/16" dia. I also took off a front ABS...

    hesitation

    I had an intermittent hesitation just like yours. Changed the fuel filter and it went away.

    ZF6 swap 98 Expedition

    What's happening now? Hey Clydesdale - I just re-read your entire post. Awesome! I'm the guy who found your project on FSB and said I was just getting started. You did the pioneering and showed the way. I got mine running yesterday: http://expeditionforum.com/showthread.php?t=13262 It...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    Headers I ordered three sets of headers trying to find something to fit. I thought F150 headers would bolt right on. Wrong. Even a set of shorties wouldn't fit. The engine mount frame horns seem to be different, or maybe the block mounts place the engine lower. I have made equal length...

    6-Speed manual tansmission conversion

    I just finished installing a 6-speed on my '03 Expedition (former cop car). I put headers on too while I was in there. The headers were twice the work of the tranny swap. I had to modify Pacesetter 70-2227 headers to clear the frame and drive shaft. Two header bolts were sheared off. The...
