In Reply to: Shift Kit for C4.... posted by Chris on July 12, 2000 at 04:45:11:
: Just a quick judgement call as i put my c4 tranny back together here....i've got a straight six that i'll be swapping up to a "clevor" v8 soon, but for now i've got the tranny apart and a six...should i bother with a shift kit for it now? or should i just wait till i get the v8 in?
: Speaking of which, i have a 69.5 mav, the first year...apparently it has the "1970 Falcon C4"...a little different than the 1970 C4 (possibly still a '69 tranny?)...the main difference is the valve body...is this true for the mavericks, or did someone swap in something else here?
I have a 77 w/200. Last year the original tranny started slipping and
giving me problems. All I did was get a tranny out of a mid-size
LTD (3.8) and changed bell housings and used my old converter. I didn't
put a kit in it, but it does work better with the Dextron instead of
the old Type-F. The converter should fit the newer input shaft,
the tailshaft is all the same too. I would definitely put a kit in it!
Good Luck
