RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

i have a 77 c4 backing up my 357w... works great.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

thats cool, this is the first auto for me i was told i would like it im looking for s better et, but there easy to build and you dont lose any power through these transmisions there like one to one i like it !!
is yours built?

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

I have a 1965 C4 in my 1990. I love it. The only problem I have with it is I need to find out a way to make the kick down cable work on it.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

do you have it hooked up??

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

I took it to a trans shop and had it built. I told them I needed it to hold at least 500HP.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

yeah i wondered how to make a kickdown cable work to.. then i found the universal kit from lokar works great:Dmine has a pinto valve body tci street fighter 3200 stall an a b&m shift kit it will work till my 408 is done then im getting one from PA either the 750 hp or 1000 hp model:)

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

Yeah I need that kick down bracket. I don't have one for mine. If I had that it would be a simple fix.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

I'm running the TCI 3500 with balooning plates and a 33 spline input shaft.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

yep, you can get that through cj pony parts in pa. and a kick down from lokar like thunderjet said or ebay has them too.. and o ya!! a c servo is a must for these trannys there the same ones from the 67 gt500 mustangs very nice its the nice shiny plate in the pic!!

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

the C4 in my II has i believe that exact same servo cause its purple. also has a tci streetfighter valvebody, edge racing 2800 stall converter, alto red eagle clutches w/ kolene steels, and a kevlar band. im running b&m synthetic trick shift and an aftermarket cooler as well as the radiator cooler. damn thing shifts like the business thats for sure.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

sweet thats what im looking for im building just about the same stuff you have but i havent picked out a stall yet, im still back and forth on tci breakaway or b&m what would you use im running a 331 with a f-cam, carbed,

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

the nice thing about the lokar kit is it works on a carb without the kickdown hookup:D

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

don't use a b&m convertor.. they aren't very good

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

I can barely feel mine shift any gears due to the stall. I can feel it, and can tell that it's got a hard shift,but it's not a wheel chirper.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

ya thats what ive been hearin, even there shift kits are bad to from what i herd but thanx for the input man!

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

realy do you have a shift kit? hell i want mine to cherp in all shifts lol.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

[sm=gears.gif]oh mine shifts badass;)hold it to the floor it shifts at 6800 rpm:Di don't let it do that much

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

i like there shift kits.. ps without the kickdown hooked up you will eventualy burn up your trans... it has to do with line pressure.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

Mine hits real hard. It does have a shift kit. It's just masked due to the stall. You can feel it shift if you take off real slow. It just doesn't chirp the tires.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

mine stalls at about 3200-3300 rpm it chirps the tires if you take off normal if you get on it hard it has thrown the car sideways on dry pavement at 40mph when it kicksdown hooking the kickdown up made a huge difference;)

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

Mine never chirps the tires, but I do need to adjust the vaccum module. It shifts out at like25 MPH when I take off slow.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

the modulator valve will only make a couple mph one way or the other... trust me hook up the kick down and you will be amazed the shifts aare totaly different

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

yep it sure will :D

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

the tci streetfighter valvebody is basically a tci "stage II" shift kit but preinstalled. i figured if i was gonna have my trans done it would be better to have a nice fresh valvebody with the kit properly installed so the shop couldnt fugg it up.

definately check out edge racing, they will make your converter to your specs. a 2800 stall in my II is not going to be a 2800 stall in your fox. there are so many variables so an off the shelf unit really isnt gonna do ya right.

btw, i have a lokar kit that i installed briefly and i believe i dont need it any more. they are like 55-60 new, if you need it shoot me a fair offer.

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

if thunderjet dont want it ill buy it!

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

I run a C-4 with a 3500 Hughes convertor and the forward pattern full manual shift valve body.
Works great..........
B&M stuff is total junk nowadays IMHO..........

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans

:eek:

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

Not to thread rob, but I have a question SORRY

I just got a 74 C4 tranny that I plan on putting in my 88 project stang. What do I have to do to make it work? Crossmember obviously, but how about a driveshaft? Is there a kit?

RE: anyone running a c-4 trans
 

i used the origonal shaft out of the t5 behind my 4 banger, slotted the holes in the crossmember and used the same tranny mount:D
