I have a transmission bolted behind a 500cid cadillac motor in my 1961 F-100 and it has a big C6 on the bellhousing. I know what you are thinking.....I am just checking what the shift pattern is. The truck has a B&M floor shifter, where park is all the way forward. I have to pull back 2 times to go into reverse??? Is that right or is it misadjusted? I have only pedaled the truck around the block and it doesnt seem like it shifts very well. Is there a checklist of things to check on a C6 that anyone could recommend? Thanks for the feedback

 

It doesn't sound right to me, but remember that you can get different valve bodies for a C6. Are you sure it's a C6? Is there an adapter plate between the tranny and the motor?

 

is it a B and M ratchet shifter?

next take that CADILLAC engine out of your FORD and put it back in the demo derby car it belongs in and smash it up and win enough money to buy a FORD engine for your nice FORD TRUCK!!!

lol just buggin

Pattern should say PRND21.

But your shifter is different, so it won't matter.
