RE: Engine and Tranny
allow the band to ride closer to the drum so they apply quicker resulting in firmer shift with less slippage theres on ly one band in a c4 also u can get the shelby style servo and a shift kit and stall converter to help beef one up

Not sure if it's still available, but if you can find a can of K&W Trans-X, it's really good stuff. Follow Soaring's advice, and if you can find it, toss in a can of the Trans-X. I'm not into additives and all that kind of stuff. It was my buddy whom I lost a bet to, that convinced me it really works. Since that time, I've run it in 5 or 6 old C4's and one C6, and damned if the stuff doesn't work very well. It's saved me way more than the lunch I had to buy the bum, so I don't feel too bad!
Also get a good service manual that shows you how to adjust the bands. That's critical for longevity of a C4.
C4 is a very easy transmission to rebuild. It is a great one to learn on.
Good luck,

This coming from a guy who says he puts additive in his gas tank at every fill up. 
I take it from your comment here that you have first hand knowledge, not just a small claims court case where the guy was given back his $6.25. [sm=icon_rofl.gif]
Glen, you slay me sometimes! lol
As to what it does:
Here's the web site with MSDS sheets etc.
http://www.crcindustries.com/ei/cont...?PN=402916&S=Y
IIRC, the stuff I used had some Tolulene,Xylene, some ethylbenzene and a few types of alcohol, and probably some trace amounts of voo-doo (that make you feel better Soaring?). The first three disolve sludge deposits, and soften/swell rubber. The alcohol should be a carrier for their super secret voo-doo ingredients .
It's not a panacea for anything that ailes you, but it did make a notable difference in my useage (commercial fleet vehicles).
YMMV,
Scott
