Hello All, I am having an issue with my 1996 Pace Arrow Motorhome. It sits on an F53 chassis, has a V-8 460, with the E4OD trans with the E-Brake housing on the back of the trans. The condensed version of my problem is this, thanks to a member on another forum (Thanks SubFord) I have traced my problem down to the VSS driven gear, it appears to be a black 20 tooth gear, it was badly damaged, and was melted up and such. Since I have procured the black 20 tooth gear, however it looks like photo's I have seen of the black 20 tooth from a manual trans, while it has basically the same dimensions, the shank where the retaining clip goes on appears to be a bit different. I have been told by many different sources in the transmission industry (if you will) many different things. I have been told that the 20 tooth gear I need is orange, I have been told that the drive gear I need is metal and is actually the output shaft itself, I have been told that it is (the drive gear) green in color and plastic? While searching for info on this late last night I ran across some activity reference this very issue by some of the RV.NET members. Unfortunately I am not able to duplicate my efforts and cannot recall who specifically was having these issues. Any help or in sight would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone know if this is a do it yourself type job, or better left in the hands of the shops. I am fairly inclined, I do most of my repairs myself, I do not have a press, or a large bearing puller. Thanks again.
