Fellas,
Finished the cleaning of the T86/R10 overdrive housing tonight and after I got all of the old oil/grease out, this color paint? was all on the inside of the housing. What is it?
Are all tailshaft housings this way or is this just for the overdrive unit? If this was from Ford, this is the first I have seen.
For the next photo, this is the only R10 tailshaft I have seen that has a smooth bore around the rear end seal. It is almost acting as a guard. All of the others I have ever seen are the normal cast two ring end. Any ideas?
