C4 leaking

No it asked for cc# like we figured

http://www.oldcarmanualproject.com/manuals/trans/Ford%20C4/1971%20Ford%20C4%20Technician%20Reference%20Manual/index1.html Check this one. If you get it apart, see if it has 6 pinion planitaries.

The extra wide bushing is how wide? This one is just a tick under 3/4" and made of brass I think

And when looking down on trans (its stood up)gasket was ripped/cracked thru bottom right corner off of rectangular passage so hopefully that was leak spot.

On the bushing, I would say that is the wide one, but nut 100% positive, but it about the size of a C6 bushing from memory. Are the bolts on the bell housing seperate from the pump? Check your PM box, but it is probably to late.

And I am not going that deep to see what's in there. I only loosened/tightened front band

Good on the back band. What about the bell housing?

Looks good other then where they ground away for dipstick

What I meant was if it had seperate bolts that hold it to the case, or do they go thru the bell housing and pump? I think all of the BBF bell housing's are the large style and have seperate bolts, but I am not sure.

All same bolts. I wish it wasn't

Now what fluid?

Don't get me to lying. I like type F myself, but guy's seem to run all type's now. I would check around some. How was the seal grove on the torque convertor?

I think okay. I've seen merc III, type F and john deere tractor fluid in my searches. Just hoping guys with big blocks say something as the torque is just a tick more

Last I heard Frank Merkel still recomended regular ol Type F with the C6's, and he should know. You will probably need to fill that C4 with Super Glue to hold it together behind that BBF.

Dang 9.19 a quart. How many quarts these C4s hold?

It will depend on your convertor and trans cooler size, but I would think 10 quarts or less.

I have never used it, but I bet the John Deere and IH fluid is good stuff too.

That moment when you find out your torque wrench quit working grrrrr! Finally got bolt piece taken out now finally putting it back together.....

I haven't had a C4 but my C6 I ran type F I have a PG in mine now and I use tractor hydraulic fluid in it

Broke 2 bolts on pump at separate times of course but got it back together. Went with type F . No leaks so far. Thanks everyone so much for all the help

Now my question is do I beat on it and test it or save it for the track because it's a matter of time before it does it again ?

I would save it for the track, before something else falls off, and it will.

Very true I'll put slicks and skinnier on then I'll leave it be

Then you have a rear flat in the morning.
