C4 Tranny

Post by jguajardotx »

Just got me a C4 tranny for my 67. It was recently rebuilt and came with a brand new torque converter. Paid 400 bucks for it good or bad deal? I am converting my 67 from 3 on the tree to an automatic. Got column,ford gear box,firewall mounting bracket and a brake "only" assembley in order to get rid of brake peadal. Anything I should know about when installing my C4 or missing?????? :?

Price for the trans sounds good.You will also need a flexplate, kickdown linkage, cooler lines and a trans cooler if your rad doesn't have one in it. Hope this helps. :)

I think that's a darn good price!
Most places will also charge a "core" for not having one to turn in.
C-4's are dependable neat tranny's, (I still own three of them).
You can get lots of aftermarket performance clutches and shift kits for them too!

You might try to fab a bracket and install the cable so the trans end is in 1/2 loop to pull down on the kickdown lever.Just be careful not to make the loop too tight and bind the cable. :)
