Extension Housing & Seal: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Lincoln LS and 2002 Ford Thunderbird. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
WARNING:
Secure the transmission to the transmission jack with a safety chain. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury.
CAUTION:
Index-mark (color paint) the bolts, washers, nuts, and the flex coupling to the transmission flange and the pinion flange to assure assembly in the exact location from which they were removed. Components not assembled in their original locations can cause driveshaft imbalance.
