Default Transmission rebuild

Hi Tony,

I'll second Lynn's comment!

Amazing what pictures reveal. I had a rear F15 transmission mount which I thought maybe had been broken and welded up about 2" above the base. Looking at yours I now think it was just a mould line as your looks identical at the same place. Just gave it away two days ago as not needed for my F15-A. The recipient was using it with a gear case I gave away with it for a man cave item anyway.

The other interesting thing I noticed was the rear transmission mount gasket on my F15-A transmission was the same shape as the F15 one. See attached. It really is not required to be that complex shape on a F15-A as there is a large circular mating area at the transmission mount on them. I just cut my gasket out as a large circle to keep it simple. Guess Ford standardized on the more complex shaped one to cut down on parts inventory.

Cheers,
