c6 conversion
I don't particuilarly care for the C6 transmission and i was wondering if it was possible to switch it out with anything. Also how hard would it be to switch from a c6 to a T19 since they were the same era? Is that something that would bolt up or no?
thanks!
thanks!

The C6 is a solid trans what made you decide you were not a fan of them? I am not jumping you or anything I am just really suprised to see anyone who is not a C6 fan. I have abused and seen abused tons of these transmissions with no mercy what so ever and they always function well. Just a thought, if I were you I would reconsider the C6 unless your looking for overdrive or a manual trans.

i agree the c6 are good trannys..had many and never had anyprobs...but u can pretty well put anything u want in there....the e40d pretty well bolts right in..i just did a c6 to e4od swap in my new truck and all the parts were the same...but then u need a computer and harness and stuff that would be a pain....and to go to a stick would be the easy way jsut make sure u get the flywheel,center hump with cut out for the shifter all the pedals and linkages or lines and make sure u get all the bolts and little clips ....we did one a couple years ago and it was pretty easy swap..but i also agree unless u are going to a 5 speed or really hate the auto not really worth the time and money

I'm fairly new here, but I too am a fan of the C6's I have had over the years. I just retired an 87 f350 with a 460 gasser, plowed for 11 years with that truck, and showed it little mercy. Never had a problem. It was a solid tranny.

Personally, behind a diesel, I prefer a stick myself, but it depends what you want to get from a change as to whether it would be worth it or not, as the C6 is a good trans, but having that lower 1st gear is sure nice to have.

That doesn't work real well for getting a load going on the highway, unfortunately... I've been known to use low lock too, it's there for a reason...

I just installed a Gear Vendors OverDrive behind my C6. It works great, you leave it on automatic and it shifts just like a 4 spd auto. I had one behind my Excursion AOD, so I swapped it. A new input shaft to swap the Gear Vendor behind whatever from behind whatever is $650. However, a new GearVendor if you can't find one is 3000-3500. If you do find a used one, you don't have to worry about it being messed up b/c they do not mess up hardly ever. They come new with a (i think) 5 year unlimited miles unlimited Horse power warranty.
