Thanks ya'll - we were able to find the cross-reference number and found the part in one of our local auto parts store! We also added the shift kit as suggested! And, I think I did add our info on the coach, etc in our profile....but, still kinda new at this and might have missed something. Again, thank you all for your input and advice - hoping to be back in the running on Tuesday...as far as the tranny is concerned. Then Lucy goes to another mechanic for radiator flushing and other minor fixes! ? Become full-timers on Oct 1 -- we need time to load her up!!

This is great info -- passing that onto our mechanic right now!

Thank you all for your input. Not sure why our mechanic is having a hard time finding the part ?...we'll relay the info you've given (will check those links - thanks for that) and hopefully today will be moving forward once again. He has rebuilt the tranny it was the seal that was the issue. I called our local Auto Zone and it seemed he could get the part, but the person I spoke to there said he "couldn't guarantee the part" since it was going into a motorhome...does that make sense? I was thinking since it's a standard Ford tranny, it shouldn't matter...anyway, thanks again! Marci & Jack

We recently purchased a 1990 34' Safari Serengeti and have found it needs the transmission replaced. This has a Ford 460 engine with a C6 3 speed transmission. It also has the e-brake that somehow is coordinated with the transmission. The mechanic told us the rear seal on the transmission should be replaced. If any of this makes sense... the mechanic is having a challenge finding that seal. Any advice? Where do you find parts for your older coach?
