Hi just wondering if anyone knows if you can remove the tailshaft section of a 4x2 c-6 and use it on a 4x4?I have a 1986 f250 4x4 AOD at and I bought it to plow my driveway but now want to fix it up.Theguy I bought it from changed the trans last year with a used one and the one he put in slips and doesnt shift at all out of 1st.The fluid is contaminated (milky) I changed it once and now its milky again possibly radiator leak I guess but anyhow A guy near me has a rebuilt 4x2 c-6 trans for sale cheap but I dont know if I can use it on a 4x4 thanks Jason

 

I am no tranny expert, but i know that to change tail shafts requires a complete disassembly, it is an internal thing not and external thing, and if i read correctly you have an aod, which i dont think has the same parts as a c6 anyhow.........you also need to make sure the c6 is the same bellhousing as yours (if you find a 4x4 one), you didnt mention which motor you have, i will assume the small block pattern though (its the only aod pattern i have ever seen)

 

OK thanks, it has the AOD but for plowing snow I thought the c6 would be better but the one I found is for a 2wd and if it needs to be completely disassembled I will jst look for a 4x4 c6 or another AOD Thanks Jason

 

It may be possible. We were just having a discussion on that swap on an E4OD and Arctic Y Block says it can be done on a C6/C4:

Obviously you will need the short C6 4X4 tailshaft and housing to put on the 4X2 trans.
