C4 on 77
Hi i just joined this Blog, and was wondering if any one had any info on C4's, what is the best way to remove one when ur a "back yard racer".. or if any one in SoCali, knows of a shop that will do good work..
her is my storie, i spent last summer puting my trany in after me and my bro rebuild it, with some new parts.. i know always go biger and better, but when i was puting it did not go into gear, so i added more oil.. soon it just statrder leaking.. now i need to take it out.. i was wondering what other cars come with a C4 that i swap in with little mode.. oil pan is b&m with WH dip stick..
any help will do thanx.. should i remove body.. or moter will help??

C4 Info.
The C4 transmission also came in vans and some cars as well. In swapping a transmission out of one of these you will need to replace the output shaft from the 2WD transmission with the one out of your 4WD transmission. The transmission itself is fairly easy to pull. I removed my crossmember after unbolting the transmission bellhousing from the engine and dropping the drivelines. I then just removed the transmission from the bottom side of the rig. For any kind of off-road situation your transmission life would be greatly improved with the addition of a shift kit and an auxilliary tranny cooler. Stock the C4 fluid was cooled by running it throuhg the radiator which is not enough if you plan to put the extra stess on it from rock crawling, racing, etc. When you replace your transmission if it is completely dry including the torque converter it should take something like 9 quarts of type F transmission fluid. Haynes manuals makes a very handy book regarding the rebuild, fluid capacities, and so forth of the ford automatic transmission. Good luck from Oregon.
