I mean wasn't that the ultimate point of the thread? A reman place will just change what is needed and then whatever their internal rules dictate to change. We hardly ever have to take manual transmissions apart because they are such a small percentage of vehicles we service.
Where is the complete parts list and exploded view for this transmission?
In any dealership's Ford cataloging. I'm sure Canada is the same as the US. I don't know what other region's catalogs are like. There isn't a "complete list" since it is split up into sections in the catalog based on what you are working on. I'm sure even fordparts.com has one.
Nope, all the catalogs are either accessed online with a paid license or via a disc subscription. A lot of the new vehicles don't even come with owner's manuals anymore. Helm is the official publisher for Ford and they will sell the manuals or discs. That is who we have to order from if we wanted one. We stopped getting physical shop manuals since they are all on OASIS.
Precisely, hence my startled jump, as my understanding was that this thread exists because the parts are otherwise impossible to find. That'll teach me to presume.
Not aiming this at anyone, just a general observation about being on the internet. So many people find the hardest way to do find parts instead of calling the dealer and at least asking. All we ask for is a VIN.
Dealer was my first go to with VIN in hand. Dealer could not get the new $2000 transmission. No kit available either. I would have gladly paid the $1600 labor if he could. Shop in town that has gone down hill wanted $5000 for the job w/used transmission, so I decided to do the job myself so I would know it was done right. Nothing I was looking forward to.
There is no kit from Ford on these. You order everything individually from Ford.
