Ford 59T-7006 manual tranny

[Nikson]

Anyone got much knowledge on the 59T-7006 4 speed manual by Ford?!

I might have to replace throwout bearing as it seems like the possible noise I'm hearing is due to that issue. It still runs/drives, but I'm not sure if I like how it sounds.

Any good site to look over or some "shop" to talk to?

Got it figured, seems like I need to adjust my clutch from the scratch and mind that its a non-syncro tranny, double clutch only 2-3-4, and one should use straight 140 weight oil for it...

keep in mind, that snow cats should not be shifted between gears while moving, pick a gear and stay in it. I know, you can shift it while moving, but it is hard on the transmission and damage will result sooner than later.

The only reason for my concerns were possibly that it was damaged prior, I'm still investigating, but seems like its possibly just a clutch that needs adjustments, or possibly replacement.

If i was going to the trouble of replacing parts, I just looked at the possible options of upgrading to something possibly more updated to ease access to parts.

At this point - seems like I wont have to...

Does it make noises all of the time, or only when you depress the clutch?

Throw out bearings usually make noise if the clutch is depressed. If it is making noise while engaged it still could be that bearing if the clutch adjustment is way out of whack keeping the clutch operating arm in contact with throw out bearing. As the clutch wears, you loose free peddle travel in the peddle, and disengagement will happen at the slightest movement of the peddle. This is a clutch that is in dire need of adjustment. It should have at least 1" of travel before you feel it engage the throw out bearing. And yes, you should feel that happen....

I have seen throw out bearings that make noise with the peddle depressed as the bearing fails. It could be both, out of adjustment, and the throw out bearing has gone south because this issue was allowed to continue with out adjustment to stop it..... If you understand how this all works, you should be able to tell. Especially if you adjust the clutch peddle to give you some free play, and the noise goes away. This indicates the bearing is the issue...

For an education in gear boxes, I look to this guy.

I checked his video play list, but did not find your trans specifically.

Lots of good general stuff on his site, however.

Put magnetic drain and fill plugs in and see what you fish out. I install them in everything.

What H&H said, right on.
