I am in the process of removing my tranny from my '66 stang due to an annoying leak that I just can't stand any longer. I don't want to pull it again (2nd time already) so I was wondering what else should I do to it while it is out? It is currently a stock C4 with the exception of a B&M shift kit and Hughes 2500 rpm stall. The car will always be streetable but the intent is to eventually run some descent 1/4 mile times with it. With that in mind, what are most people doing to there C4's? Also, mine is the "green dot" trans., is there a way to change that to a typical 1,2,3 shift? Thanks for any thoughts or opinions.

 

Not familiar with "green dot" but Ive seen a real nice valve body through mustangs plus and i would replace the front pump seal and tail shaft seal if you havent already.good luck

 

Just finished mine about 6 mos ago: '66, green dot. I pulled mine, took it in and had a pro build it, not some joe-schmo tranny shop. C-servo, rigid bands, roller bearing in #9, pump mod's, and a valve body out of a '68 with mod's. This alone made a HUGE difference in how my mild289 ran. Total cost was about 1K but worth every penny. This tranny will easily stand up to 400+ hp, as planned. I pulled the tranny, bought theparts I wanted, and paid an expert for his labor. If you're not in a hurry, you can save 100's. p.s Just picked up a 3:25 trac loc thats begginto be abused.
