I need to know how to spot it, my boss at work has a 302 with trans out of a 79 mustang, and from what I read they should have c4's but he says it was an aod but he's not sure b/c it was years ago. at first he said it was a c6 so I know he is confused

the only difference between a c4 and c5 is just the internals?

ok, if there is a door tag still.......assuming the tranny is original equipment

trans codes......


SROD = 4 (4-speed od)
c3 = V
c4 = W
c5 = C
c6 = Z (police automatic)
