I absolutely adore this channel, the family and I obviously cannot forget tje beautiful Miss Annie! This particular tear down and build I find especially fascinating. It is giving me a bit of an inside as to what tje C6 auto to my 66 bird. I continue to learn with each video... THANK YOU!🙏💜
Saw you and the Dirty Bird at the flashlight races on 7/6 your car looked great the track wasn’t great but you managed to get that monster down we went to the semi finals in true street and crossed over for a loss but it was a good day car has had some pretty major changes and still managed to make some passes
@@richardteresacricheducatio3542 I was the guy by the track shop on the return road in the Mack Toter silver fox body that the Turpen’s own you gave me a thumbs up been wanting to meet you for a while but we were too busy that day
At 36:50, the bellhousing that bolted to the case,(not to the pump at all), was originally for a truck or van application. The wider bolt stance and not being attached to the pump made them stronger in 2 regards,(pumps leaked less and motor connection was stronger). Then they made the C-5 (lock-up torque converter version) that also had the bellhousing bolted to the case.
If there is one thing that impresses me is someone who can blow apart an automatic transmission and rebuild it like Richard does. I’ve always wondered how the engineers came up with the design for the automatic transmission. I know it’s just fluid and pressure but all of those check balls and assorted spring loaded parts make my head spin lol
Who can't help but admire the transmission knowledge that you possess. Not to mention all the tricks you have learned that are not in any books. Best wishes to your mother, hope she has a swift and complete recovery. I went thru a similar situation with my 94 year old father. I need some advice. I have a 71 Cutlass with a TH400. It's not exhibiting any problems, but I think it's time for a filter change. What type of gasket do you recommend ? Keep up the good work, see you in the next video. BTW, your camera person does a great job!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... for sharing a life's time of hard earned knowledge. P.S. I love the way you dote on Theresa. You are truly a good man.
I had a 1964 Farlane 500 Wagon (Inherited from my parents) 289 and C-4 they had it rebuilt and it went out again. never ran rightafter that the Traz shop said the wagon was to big for the Tranz. I never bought that. My parents bought it new and only rebuilt the tranz once two years before I got it. it didn't make since to me 14 year after the car was bought new trans rebuilt I got the car in 1976 and it went out about two months after I got it. lost $500 on that car. love it.
Great video for us Ford guys. I would love to see you build one of these all out, like trans brake, aftermarket planetary’s killer everything. Might have to add it to the list I some day will have to drop off to you on my way to Kansas from Phoenix 😜
I love the c4 and c6 easy simple and effective transmissions. Isn’t there a filter in the valve body in the supply hole. Great bracket race transmissions imo. Great to see you got a c4 in keep it up love your videos.
Glad I found the new channel. I have a C6 that leaks the fluid out when the car sits for an extended period. Some say the convertor is draining back into the case and just start the car once a week. Sounds like a band aide to me. Seen this before ?
That is not the original transmission to that car. The 1967 C4's all had the vent tube on the side fastened with a little bracket to the servo cover. When the vent is on the tail housing I think that started around 71-72 somewhere in there.
The push in modulator was used in the later transmission case. Also, the snap ring is not the correct snap ring. Should check the torque converter as it may not be the correct one for this transmission. There was an early 65-69 and late 70 and up torque converter. Also I would check the locator pins in the engine for the bell housing. They may be missing. Also the blocking plate may be missing causing converter problems. There are different blocking plates. There were several different flex plates used over the years also to add to the confusion. 🤔
I've experienced those vacuum modulators failing with huge huge clouds of smoke from burning transmission fluid also there's no way that thing only has 77000 miles... lol
at 46:10, the rooster comb pushes a pin on the park pawl linkage. On newer units I have found a bushing on that pin to make it fatter causing more 'push' while in park. There is a lot of room for the linkage to move away during drive selections so no problem for the pawl being too close while moving. Thanks for this video! I have never seen you do a 42RLE, Can you soon? Please!?
start off with 6 or 8 I put a c4 in my 63 xke jag olds flexplate to space out to the starter then ford 6 and converter, shelby valve body bought from Art Carr. Early jag non synchro low the faster you went the longer to shift. kept loosing clutches, had to pull the front end and engine to change and wife did not like stik anywy. worked good
I like you’re a book guy too. I wonder what Teresa would think stinks worse burnt trans or burnt up starter. I rebuild starters and alternators and man I’ve had some bad ones, that burnt electric motor smell gets stuck in your nose all day.
Someone has been in there , being a 70+ type. Definitely not a 67 Some one already removed the servo release checkball Shift lever fitted on wrong also Awesome tip on testing sealing rings
Yes I have changed fluid and filter on one back in the 80's and no problem with it. Got involved with a FMX transmission and what a nightmare. So the neighborhood kids decided to set the '74 Torino on fire 🔥 so I didn't have to deal with it anymore 😂.
HEY Richard, , i just got a 1976 F150. Upon checking the fluids i thought tranny was low idling warm, off the fluid was only about 3/8 inch up the dipstick, , so i added a couple maybe 3 quarts . It shifts into gear very hard/positively but after a 30 minute testdrive on a hot day it now seems to be possibly a quart overfull. is this a serious problem to remedy asap before i damage it somehow?
is the spline count the same at both ends of the out put shaft? I think they are but can't remember any more.. How is your shoulder doing.. I am looking at the same situation.. but I have left it so long they both need work.. as always great show.. you should be a teacher.. if I was running and Auto class your vid's would be mandatory material.. thanks Rich.. you make the old days come alive again..
@@richardteresacricheducatio3542 It has been so long.. I was of the old hot rod 50-70's fan group.. refreshing and rebuilding all I could get.. until I had to make up my mind if I wanted to be a mechanic or a carpenter.. Being a carpenter won out.. I final had to quit cars all together when I reached 69 because of my shot body the pain wasn't worth the fun any more.. thanks guys for all you do.. I truly love this show of yours.. it brings back memories of some of the good times in my life.. Carry on!
I heard about one old Transmission Mechanic, who had an odd way to unstick Ford governors. He would drive the vehicle up to about 40 mph, then try to engage Park, the rattling would dislodge any crud in the governor. Me, I would never try that!
I had a 74 mustang with a c4. Ammco rebuilt it with the shift kit I put in it. They could not figure out what to do with the new modulator. Since new it would always shift to first when you kicked it into passing gear. Ammco never figured it out! In 76 they rebuilt it for 2400 and never got it right. 50mph and hit passing and it tacked over 6000 before you could get off it. Any idea what that would be? Always wondered. Thanks for the video.
Hmmm. looks like a bit like an A4LD precursor. Was it built in France? I don't know where the C4s were actually built but their carry-ons were French. I'm too young at 55(LOL) to know the history of the C4. But I do know the A4LD. Was it Livonia? Doubt it but not sure. Where were those things made? Ford based the E4OD on the center support bearing(the tiny, little, insufficient bushing in the output shaft on the A4LD. Did it work? Nope! It is so much fun to see the originals and know how things evolved for better or worse. Ford borrowed way too much from the old to make the new. Respect to the old and regret that they based the new on it. 25 Year retrospect. :)
When GM started their TH350 and TH400 is when they were king of transmissions. Even so, many liked the 2 speed Powerglide automatics from GM but I always preferred the 3 speeds.
@@waterloo123100 I believe the preferred make in the 1960's was the torque flight. Police and CHP vehicles preferred them as they could go from D to R without a lot of failures.

Richard is,a wealth of knowledge. Actual transmission rebuilders are getting more rare. Kind of like raidiator shops.

First C4 I’ve seen since 1984.
I rebuilt a C4 for a friend of my dad and it last two weeks, because the wife totaled the car.

Nice shop. Lots of us could use one of those to work on some of our old vehicles with TLC.
Also the 67 c4's were all screw in modulators from the factory. Again push in started around 72.

Me too! Computers will never beat books when it comes to older cars.
Cn you do an assembly video on an older unit like a C4, powerglide or Turbo 350 ? That would be very interesting to watch

Some one already removed the servo release checkball
Shift lever fitted on wrong also
Awesome tip on testing sealing rings

Yes I have changed fluid and filter on one back in the 80's and no problem with it. Got involved with a FMX transmission and what a nightmare. So the neighborhood kids decided to set the '74 Torino on fire 🔥 so I didn't have to deal with it anymore 😂.

a mad scientist !!!!!
Hello, are you by chance still rebuilding customers transmissions? looking to get some work done.
HEY Richard, , i just got a 1976 F150. Upon checking the fluids i thought tranny was low idling warm, off the fluid was only about 3/8 inch up the dipstick, , so i added a couple maybe 3 quarts .
It shifts into gear very hard/positively but after a 30 minute testdrive on a hot day it now seems to be possibly a quart overfull.
is this a serious problem to remedy asap before i damage it somehow?
A quart is quite bit so I would definitely be getting it removed always check hot

They an old trans now, parts be getting light on the ground.
Fluid leaking through the Vacuum hose through the modulator control and a busted speedo gear. Already been out at least once. Only 77000?
So, what does the colored band indicate on the modulator? Shift point? Shift strength, etc?
I had a 74 mustang with a c4. Ammco rebuilt it with the shift kit I put in it. They could not figure out what to do with the new modulator.
