We have found a number of issues with this widely used Ford ZFS542 Transmission. Bearing wear on the main shaft can cause a noise that is present in all gears, at most engine RPM’s. If you hear a whine at greater (higher) RPM’s in 3rd and or 5th gear it’s possibly an input shaft failing. A noise in one gear that gets worse with speed can be caused by a chipped tooth in that gear. Shifting problems in the shifter stub can increase with use and time and suggest you replace your shifter with our easy to install Short Throw Shifter Kit. Worn out synchronizer cones or syncro rings can cause grinding noise during shifting. Popping out of gear can be caused by damaged shift forks, or worn sliders. The most widely pointed out problem are problems with shifting the 5th/reverse gear typically caused by high mileage. We offer a kit to fix this problem, the kit includes Reverse Gear, 5th Rev Slider, Rev Ring and 5th Ring.
F250, F350 pickups with this transmission have suffered from failing pilot bearings. You can hear this noise with the clutch depressed. We offer a kit to replace the damaged pilot bearings and input shaft end, kit with oversized bearing and new steel sleeve for input shaft.
