C6 Transmission question
I have a leak from my shifter bushing or seal. I guess I should ask is it
concidered a bushing or seal? Can it be removed and replaced without
needing in special tools? I know I need to drop the pan and remove the
valve body, that's not a problem. Can I get the shaft out easy enough
to replace the leaking part?

It's been a while since I did a rebuild, but I want to say that you can even probably do this without dropping the VB.... I think it is a seal, you should also be able to find a C6 schematic online someplace.

Yes its easy to do & probably lower the VB because you have to take the kick down lever
out from inside, there is a lip seal in the case & an o-ring on the small shaft.
When you loosen the 1/2 '' nut hold the lever so you dont bend the inside part.
Dont over tighten the nuts, they will break or strip.
Check the screen while you are in there

All this being said, does anyone know what a total rebuild of a C-6 for my 1969 F-100 should run? I have been reading about new Kevlar belts and other cool stuff. I am just beginning to plan my restomod and will have a totally new engine. I'd like to hook her up with a better than new tranny. I've been saving my pennies for months now. I hope I can afford this.

Well Pink this way by the time your done you will have a truck exactly the way you want it and not have to have a degree in order to work on it. I am a huge fan of keeping the older trucks on the road spanking a rice burner when one trys to act tough. I cringe a little when i fill up but i also know that if something goes wrong, i can either order the parts or ask on here and get all the info i need.
