FORD C6 AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
The Ford C6 automatic transmission has a case length of 20", 17 bolts for holding the oil pan in position. The bellhousing
bolt pattern is available in 3 different styles and you must make sure that you obtain the correct transmission case for your
engine requirements. The transmission should be assembled by a competent mechanic to make sure the transmission
operates correctly. The new shaft should be identical to the original shaft with the only exception being the new splined
area for use with the transfer case adapter.
When installing the new tailhousing on the back of your transmission, it may be necessary to trial fit the adapter in position
and make sure that the linkage has all the proper clearance on the internal cavity of the adapter. The bolting of the tailhousing
to the main transmission may need a slight amount of grinding for proper bolt head clearance due to the aluminum sand
casting tolerances
DO NOT FORCE THE NEW TAILHOUSING ONTO THE TRANSMISSION. If assistance is needed, please feel free
to call the number listed above.
The drivetrain on this application must be offset 1" to the driver's side to allow front driveshaft clearance. Slight
modifications to the C6 pan and a smaller than stock driveshaft may also be necessary.
All installations will require the use of a transmission cooler. The cooler can be either installed in the radiator or a remote
location is acceptable. The transmission shift control can either be a Hurst floor mounted type shifter or sometimes the
existing column shift can be modified on certain applications.
