Transmission Question
Hi, I have a 1976 F100 with a 390 and a C6 transmission. I'm having a problem with the tranny. When I first start the truck and put the truck in drive I have to sit there about 5 minutes before my truck will move forward ( reverse is fine ). What do I need to do to fix this? Thanks

I have had this problem before and it was the front pump in the tranny going bad. Not able to build enough pressure. It was fine most of the time but once in a while after sitting for a spell it would not shift. Rebuilt it.
