I’m about to pull the Velvet Drive transmission on my PCM 351 Ford. Vince at DIM gave me some instructions but I want to see if there are any other caveats or pearls before I get started.
It looks like you have to loosen the forward engine mounts, to give the engine some play. The hydraulics disconnected and the exhaust hoses too. A bottle jack fits easily between the exhaust manifold and the port stringer. Then the bolts on the shaft come off and the shaft slides back, then the bolts against the bell housing and the 100lb transmission come out.
Has anyone done it?
