ok so im going to swap my electric 1354 for a manual 1354 and i was wondering if there were any little tricks of the trade i need to know because the manual tcase im going to be taking it out in a junk yard and i would like to make it as easy as possible.


1. any tips

2 i know there is a wiring harness that goes with this how can i take it out of the doner truck?

 

A 91~97 manual 1354 case would be compatible with your front driveshaft. 91~94 cases should have the correct speedometer drive for your 94 but I'm not 100% sure that 95~97 are compatible.

AFAIK, you don't necessarily need to wire anything to the case. The VSS is already wired for your current case and you can reuse it. If you want the 4x4 and 4LO indicator lights in the cluster to work, just add 2 wires between the T/C and the cluster.

 

well its coming out of a 90 with a 2.9 auto and manual tcase so i know its a 1354 and i dont understand what your saying about the wiring im not to familiar with the harness on the tcase

 

I'm not an expert on this at all but I think the 2.9's used a 1350 case. The 1350 may bolt up to the transmission the same way but it was rated for less input torque. From the factory, Ford always used the stronger 1354 behind the 4.0 Ranger/Explorer. The 1354 to 1350 swap has been done before successfully but I just want you to be aware of the torque rating difference before you start.

Another thing: take a close look at how the yoke for the front driveshaft is set up. I have no direct experience with the 1350 but have read that the front output yoke is configured differently from the 1354. http://www.therangerstation.com/tech...sferCases.html

Regarding the wiring, I'm saying that there is a VSS sensor on your current case and you would need to transplant it to the replacement case. This should not require any changes to the harness.

If you want the original 4WD cluster indicators to work, 2 wires would need to be run from the switch on the manual case up to the cluster.

 

well if you would of read the info o the link you sent me it says
Borg Warner 1354 Mechanical
Ranger, Bronco II & Explorer 1990-1995


since the truck im taking it out of is a 90 its a 1354



anyone that has done this have any tips?

 

Something's incorrect. Downey, if YOU read it it also says:
So.....? I guess it isn't quite cleared up

 

Make sure its a 1354!!! Dont take someones word that it is or something that you have read.

Here is a link...

Is there a tag/bar code on the JY case??

I did read it and it was not clear which case was used in a 1990 2.9L. That's why I passed it along for you to look at. I won't make that mistake again.

 

thanks you so much thats what i needed with the tag i will have to drive up there next weekend and make sure its the right thing i drove up there today and it doesnt have the slip yoke so im pretty sure its a 1354

 

A 1990 ranger will NOT have a 1354 unless its a 4.0L. Unless someone from the past swapped it in there.

And there's no need to be an *** to the members trying to help you. Go ahead and buy that 1350 thinking its a 1354.

 

if you look a the third picture is how the front out put shaft is on the one in the truck so and it not like the first picture here look at the picture

 

anyone have any more input i would really appreciate it

 

someone?

 

anyone ?

 

i dont see any kind of link to what you are trying to buy or what it looks like so how should we know?

also its stamped right on the case if its a 1350 or a 1354
