I dont think mines the same? My c4 with the B&M megashifter goes P-R-N-D(3)-2-1 and i can just shift from 1 to 2 to 3 by pressing up. But when startingin D, im not sure ifit actuallystarts in first. -Jon

 

nah, i was just reminescing what i found, i think ford only used that pattern up to 66.

 

Ford made what is called a Curise-O-Matic trans. ( C4 ). the shift pattern is PRN231. (3 being the green dot and D position ).

You can manually shift the trans. The only real problem is being able to hold 2nd longer than the trans desires to hold it there.

 

i have a prob with my c4 also its when i am either accelerating it goes from 1st to 2nd good and firm but from second to third real soft especially under wot acceleration any thoughts

 

That's usually what happens when the trans is about dead, my C-4 wouldn't grab in third till i let up of the gas, then it would ease into gear.

 

i was just wondering if i need a band adjustment do you think that could do it

 

u did start the car while u were adding the fluid didnt you? also put it in reverse to fill the converter with the engine running

 

Its easy trying to manual shift. I start out in low, and when i get ready to shift to second i shift it to regular drive, when it shifts to 2nd put it back in low real quick. This keeps it in low til about 20 mph... on my car at least, then it shifts back to first.[:@]
