I TOLD YOU BACK IN 1996 ABOUT THIS, BUT YOU KEPT PUTTING ME OFF. AND I TOLD YOU ABOUT THE WINDSHIELD AND TRANSMISSION. THE TRANSMISSION ON AMBULANCE THAT HELPED ME WAS A FORD 350 AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, ME AND THE DRIVER TALKED.( DOT NUMBER: NONE TIRE SIZE: 16 )

THE PUSH ROD BROKE ON THE CLUTCH ASSEMBLY. FORD CHANGED THE DESIGN OF THIS COMPONENT, CAUSING THE MASTER CLUTCH CYLINDER ALONG WITH ALL TUBING ETC TO BE REPLACED. THIS SEEMS TO INDICATE THAT FORD REALIZES THE OLD DESIGN WAS FAULTY. *AK

THE TRANSMISSION STICKS IN OVERDRIVE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO EITHER STALL OR NOT STOP WHEN THE BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. NM
