Ford Bronco & Econoline Transmission/Transfer Case Torque Specs & Gear Ratios

This is page 6-26 of a Ford shop manual, titled 'PART 6-4: Specifications,' covering manual transmission and transfer case specifications for the Ford Econoline and Ford Bronco. For the Econoline, it lists 3-speed transmission gear ratios by engine (170-1V, 240-1V, 302-2V), transmission adjustments (detent set screw head flush to 0.020 inch below case surface; reverse idler and countershaft gear end play 0.004-0.018 inch), a 3.5-pint lubricant refill capacity, and eleven transmission torque limits ranging from 3-4.5 ft-lbs (speedometer cable retainer) to 60-80 ft-lbs (U-joint flange to output shaft). For the Bronco, it gives gear ratios for 170-1V and 289-2V engines, matching transmission adjustments, transfer case output shaft end play (0.003-0.005 inch front and rear), lubricant capacities in U.S. and Imperial measure (transmission 3.50/3.0 pints; transfer case 2.75/2.25 pints), and eight transmission/transfer case torque limits including drive shaft flange to transfer case output shaft nuts at 125-150 ft-lbs. A Special Tools table lists 14 Ford tool numbers (e.g., T50T-100-A impact hammer, T64E-7052-B extension housing oil seal replacer) with descriptions. Readers can use this page for rebuilding or adjusting the Bronco/Econoline 3-speed transmission and Bronco transfer case.
