Re: ATX rebuilds
What do you do about the gear whine that occurs on many 4F27E from gear/bearing wear in the transfer gears to differential? No kit on planet addresses that issue. Just curious, one of those gears has a nut that torques at like 450 ft.lbs. of torque. You don't just do that on the old garage workbench. Will require special holding fixtures just to avoid damaging parts while torqueing that nut up. When bearing below that nut loses preload, the gear can tilt out of plane leading to abnormal gear teeth wear, causing the whine. Close to a similar common problem in the old Tempo/Excort ATX trans. Ford engineered trans to wear out in a difficult way to fix just like many other of their recent efforts.
