Okay got question I got C6 Transmission that has Park Reverse Natural and my Low Gear witch everytime I put it in 1st it go backwards like Reverse I have no Drive or 2nd Gear my Transmission Fluid go smell burnt I had went to see if it was the Bands but it wasn't I had tightn them up and still does the same thing no drive,2nd gear, and my low gear is still reverse gear???????? now I did go get another 2WD Transmission came out of a 1977 Lincoln with a 460 in it my truck got 400 in it now knowing that my truck got 4WD in it will it bolt up or will the 2WD Transmission go into the shaft?????

 

The 2wd transmission will not mate up to your transfer case.

 

Your forward clutch has either burnt the clutches or the lip seal is out. C6 is an easy rebuild and not to expensive.

Otherwise you can use the 2wd trans but you have to dismantle both transmissions to get it done. You have to swap out the tailshaft and the output shaft. Easier method might be to remove the pump, take the entire gear train/clutch pack out of the 2wd trans and install it into the 4wd case and reasemble. 77 and 78 should be totally interchangable.

 

Now If I do that taking out all the stuff out the 2WD Transmission putting it into the 4WD Transmission do I have to do it with the Transmission out or can I do it with the Transmission in it cause I know its going to be B**** to get the Transmission out

 

You have to have the transmission out to swap the parts.

 

You have to take the trans completely apart to get the tail shaft out so you might as well just rebuild the one in the truck. One thing to look at if you are going to use the car's trans is, does it have the 2 bolt holes to mount the neu/rev switch that your truck needs ? Not knowing for sure if your car trans would have the switch on the case, some cases don't have them. You would also need to switch the shift lever.

 

This is part of why I suggested pulling the gear train/clutch pack unit out of the 2wd case and install it in the 4wd case.

 

Okay I finally switch both Shafts from the 4WD to the 2WD so in way that 2WD is now a 4WD now my next new question is what can I use to flush out the Transmission Cooling System for I don't have all that junk ruinning my new transmission???

 

removed the return line front the transmission (it's the one that goes to the rear of the trans) put a hose over that line into a jug. I prefer clear hose for this. fill the trans with fluid and start the truck leaving in park. The trans will pump the fluid through the cooler flushing it out. When it pumps about few quarts stop the truck refil the trains and restart. twice should probably do it, but watch the fluid that comes out and see if it looks and feels clean between your fingers. If needed hit it again.

Some guys will put a inline filter on the return line too. BUT be careful as if it plugs up it will then over heat.

 

now how is that I flush it out????

 

Did you flush the 4x4's tail shaft out that you switched over ? That shaft holds a lot more fluid than one would think and if it wasn't flushed out all the crap in it is going right back in the trans.

 

No not yet I am waiting on payday to come for I can go into town and get me the stuff and all that to flush out the old crap out

 

My Dad , who bought my 78 250 new told me that there was recall on some C6's. Due to them goin in reverse like yours.

 

There were recalls due to this ?

 

I wonder who I can call to find out I try to ask Ford but they wouldn't tell me causee my Truck is 78 and they can't go back more then 10 years and then I need to know how and what do I use to flush the Transmission Cooler Line out???
