I haven't had to do those yet. Thanks for posting the video, I book marked it for if/when I have to replace mine. What are you using for a fluid in your M5OD?
I have syncromesh in mine. I was trying to fix some of the problems that the shifter bushings cured.. It seems to work fine but I bet it'd shift as well with ATF now that I have the new bushings in it.
I love the way mine shifts, night and day compared to the 85 E-150 I had with the 4 speed OD transmission. That transmission really sucked.
I think when I drop the transmission I'll look into changing those bushings too.
I put a Centerforce II clutch in it probably 20 years ago when the slave cylinder let go. I'm going to use a CF II again.
