Hello all, searched threads for answers...no help.
I am going to change my electric t/c motor on my b/w 1354, dorman says they ship in "neutral" position, my factory ford service manual states to place t/c in 4H before removing motor from case. Dorman also states DO NOT change position of motor to match up where case triangle shift rod is at by hooking up electrical conn. and turning dash knob when it is OFF of case, (I don't know why that would be), my question is can I use vise grips to move case motor shaft to line up what is the neutral position on new motor? Also should I put my transmission in neutral so if I have to move motor shaft, it is free wheeling with no weight on axles/ wheels? Thanks ahead.
