Never been overly fond of the early manuals. The 'Ford has a better idea' hydraulic actuated clutch is a pizzer. It's not adjustable unless you machine an adjustable push rod and even then, the slave will leak down when it gets older and cause clashing gears. Had one of those too. 4 speed with a creeper in a 6.9 Barnyard Buick.
Well they didn’t make any “late” manuals, so guess you’re safe now....lol.
Fwiw, my pizzer hyd actuated clutch cylinders have over 100kmiles on them and are adjustable. They make adjustable hydros for pickups.
If you’re trying to talk up any 4 speed auto trans in comparison to a 6 speed manual, other than for ease of operation , your argument seems a bit off.
7.3 manual super dootys are the first unicorn before the 5.9 manual CR Cummins. Great truck.
Op, did good finding one of them.
