I absolutely adore this channel, the family and I obviously cannot forget tje beautiful Miss Annie! This particular tear down and build I find especially fascinating. It is giving me a bit of an inside as to what tje C6 auto to my 66 bird. I continue to learn with each video... THANK YOU!🙏💜

Richard makes all this transmission rebuilding look easy!!!!!!!!!!

Richard is,a wealth of knowledge. Actual transmission rebuilders are getting more rare. Kind of like raidiator shops.

I rebuilt a C4 for a friend of my dad and it last two weeks, because the wife totaled the car.

First C4 I’ve seen since 1984.

Good to see Richard back on the KZfaq. I got help from his videos some time ago, just enjoying the content and learning since. A+

I did a c4 on my kitchen floor years ago when I was broke It lasted until Isold th e truuk

Saw you and the Dirty Bird at the flashlight races on 7/6 your car looked great the track wasn’t great but you managed to get that monster down we went to the semi finals in true street and crossed over for a loss but it was a good day car has had some pretty major changes and still managed to make some passes

Awesome thank you, can we have an C4 assembly video PLEASE

In the aerospace industry, we heilicoil everything from day one new.

If there is one thing that impresses me is someone who can blow apart an automatic transmission and rebuild it like Richard does. I’ve always wondered how the engineers came up with the design for the automatic transmission. I know it’s just fluid and pressure but all of those check balls and assorted spring loaded parts make my head spin lol

At 36:50, the bellhousing that bolted to the case,(not to the pump at all), was originally for a truck or van application. The wider bolt stance and not being attached to the pump made them stronger in 2 regards,(pumps leaked less and motor connection was stronger). Then they made the C-5 (lock-up torque converter version) that also had the bellhousing bolted to the case.

I just finished my first C4 rebuild

Pretty enjoyable watching an expert work his craft. Thank you!

Also the 67 c4's were all screw in modulators from the factory. Again push in started around 72.

Who can't help but admire the transmission knowledge that you possess. Not to mention all the tricks you have learned that are not in any books. Best wishes to your mother, hope she has a swift and complete recovery. I went thru a similar situation with my 94 year old father. I need some advice. I have a 71 Cutlass with a TH400. It's not exhibiting any problems, but I think it's time for a filter change. What type of gasket do you recommend ? Keep up the good work, see you in the next video. BTW, your camera person does a great job!

Takes me back to the good old days. Again I Love your content. Keep up the good work ❤❤😊

I watch all this guys videos and I haven’t a clue what he’s doing

Nice shop. Lots of us could use one of those to work on some of our old vehicles with TLC.

Alway a pleasure to watch you guys work. Awsome to see an old Mustang brought back!!!

Thank you for the great videos! Learn something new every time.

New sub here! Thanks for the video!!

After watching many of your teardowns on the chryslers and ford's, I've always found it interesting how similar they were

Glad I found the new channel. I have a C6 that leaks the fluid out when the car sits for an extended period. Some say the convertor is draining back into the case and just start the car once a week. Sounds like a band aide to me. Seen this before ?

🎉I love you 2 and Annie as well, keep up thevgreat stuff uall❤

Nice video Richard and Teresa.

That is not the original transmission to that car. The 1967 C4's all had the vent tube on the side fastened with a little bracket to the servo cover. When the vent is on the tail housing I think that started around 71-72 somewhere in there.

Hi Richard and Teresa, good to see you're "back at it". hope the healing goes well._Dino

Thank You - very Basic_ Clear_Thorough_&_Educational ⚡

Hi to both of you. Another cracking video, good to see you back in action, simply the best!

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you... for sharing a life's time of hard earned knowledge. P.S. I love the way you dote on Theresa. You are truly a good man.

I had a 1964 Farlane 500 Wagon (Inherited from my parents) 289 and C-4 they had it rebuilt and it went out again. never ran rightafter that the Traz shop said the wagon was to big for the Tranz. I never bought that. My parents bought it new and only rebuilt the tranz once two years before I got it. it didn't make since to me 14 year after the car was bought new trans rebuilt I got the car in 1976 and it went out about two months after I got it. lost $500 on that car. love it.

Been a while since I've been inside a C4. Cool little trans indeed. Best wishes for your mom. Thanks for the video.

Sending along thoughts and well wishes for your ma! Thank you for taking the time to help teach others.

I love the c4 and c6 easy simple and effective transmissions. Isn’t there a filter in the valve body in the supply hole. Great bracket race transmissions imo. Great to see you got a c4 in keep it up love your videos.

I can put you a ductless mini split in that garage and keep you cool. You buy it and I'll install it.

Great video enjoy seeing the tear downs and finding the issues!

at 46:10, the rooster comb pushes a pin on the park pawl linkage. On newer units I have found a bushing on that pin to make it fatter causing more 'push' while in park. There is a lot of room for the linkage to move away during drive selections so no problem for the pawl being too close while moving. Thanks for this video! I have never seen you do a 42RLE, Can you soon? Please!?

Enjoying your videos!

Great video for us Ford guys. I would love to see you build one of these all out, like trans brake, aftermarket planetary’s killer everything. Might have to add it to the list I some day will have to drop off to you on my way to Kansas from Phoenix 😜

I have plenty of time to watch videos, I'm retired lol. Good to see another video...starting to have withdrawls lol.

Thank you bud

start off with 6 or 8 I put a c4 in my 63 xke jag olds flexplate to space out to the starter then ford 6 and converter, shelby valve body bought from Art Carr. Early jag non synchro low the faster you went the longer to shift. kept loosing clutches, had to pull the front end and engine to change and wife did not like stik anywy. worked good

I've experienced those vacuum modulators failing with huge huge clouds of smoke from burning transmission fluid also there's no way that thing only has 77000 miles... lol

Cn you do an assembly video on an older unit like a C4, powerglide or Turbo 350 ? That would be very interesting to watch

I like you’re a book guy too. I wonder what Teresa would think stinks worse burnt trans or burnt up starter. I rebuild starters and alternators and man I’ve had some bad ones, that burnt electric motor smell gets stuck in your nose all day.

Richard lovessss to get the check balls and fan the clutches

Hello, are you by chance still rebuilding customers transmissions? looking to get some work done.

I had a 74 mustang with a c4. Ammco rebuilt it with the shift kit I put in it. They could not figure out what to do with the new modulator. Since new it would always shift to first when you kicked it into passing gear. Ammco never figured it out! In 76 they rebuilt it for 2400 and never got it right. 50mph and hit passing and it tacked over 6000 before you could get off it. Any idea what that would be? Always wondered. Thanks for the video.

👍

a mad scientist !!!!!

Thanks for the C4 video👍

Someone has been in there , being a 70+ type. Definitely not a 67 Some one already removed the servo release checkball Shift lever fitted on wrong also Awesome tip on testing sealing rings

Yes I have changed fluid and filter on one back in the 80's and no problem with it. Got involved with a FMX transmission and what a nightmare. So the neighborhood kids decided to set the '74 Torino on fire 🔥 so I didn't have to deal with it anymore 😂.

HEY Richard, , i just got a 1976 F150. Upon checking the fluids i thought tranny was low idling warm, off the fluid was only about 3/8 inch up the dipstick, , so i added a couple maybe 3 quarts . It shifts into gear very hard/positively but after a 30 minute testdrive on a hot day it now seems to be possibly a quart overfull. is this a serious problem to remedy asap before i damage it somehow?

Title says 1976, that is a 1967

So, what does the colored band indicate on the modulator? Shift point? Shift strength, etc?

They an old trans now, parts be getting light on the ground.

We're we can get this books and these books have also new model transmission and valve body data

Fluid leaking through the Vacuum hose through the modulator control and a busted speedo gear. Already been out at least once. Only 77000?

is the spline count the same at both ends of the out put shaft? I think they are but can't remember any more.. How is your shoulder doing.. I am looking at the same situation.. but I have left it so long they both need work.. as always great show.. you should be a teacher.. if I was running and Auto class your vid's would be mandatory material.. thanks Rich.. you make the old days come alive again..

I heard about one old Transmission Mechanic, who had an odd way to unstick Ford governors. He would drive the vehicle up to about 40 mph, then try to engage Park, the rattling would dislodge any crud in the governor. Me, I would never try that!

Richard, would you do a video on how to r&r bushings?

Mmmm the smell of money lol!

Where is your shop located? Can we ship our transmissions to you to get rebuilt?

Smells like money !!!

what fuild do you run in your performace builds ??

76 or 67 ?

Hmmm. looks like a bit like an A4LD precursor. Was it built in France? I don't know where the C4s were actually built but their carry-ons were French. I'm too young at 55(LOL) to know the history of the C4. But I do know the A4LD. Was it Livonia? Doubt it but not sure. Where were those things made? Ford based the E4OD on the center support bearing(the tiny, little, insufficient bushing in the output shaft on the A4LD. Did it work? Nope! It is so much fun to see the originals and know how things evolved for better or worse. Ford borrowed way too much from the old to make the new. Respect to the old and regret that they based the new on it. 25 Year retrospect. :)

76? 67? oh we'll...

Richard, back in 67' who made a better AT? Ford or Chevy?

Dont most fords have forward motion issues 😂🤣👍🙀

Ain't no doubt 💯. Teresa could rebuild a transmission ❤

I’ve never heard of a C-5 transmission??

Where is your son at? Does he no longer work for the family business?
