Ford C6 Rebuild 

Rebuilding C-6 transmissions 43 years , I've watched other u tube guys in the past few days sowing "how to do" but! You just got the job done straight to the point where others went way overboard and got ridiculous , thanks for just showing " how to " and good job 👍

This is the exact transmission I am rebuilding for my 1969 F100, thanks for the video. It was very helpful for a first timer like me.

Thank you soooooooo much for this video, helped rebuild my FIRST C6 ever!!

at 1:27:24 you crumpled up the gasket and thru it away..On my rebuild, I used that gasket and nearly blew up my transmission..I am as serious as a heart attack..I had 400 pounds of line pressure!!..My trans came out of a 72 T-bird..And I guess it never had a gasket or it had a different one than the trans-tec gasket that you crumpled up.. I must have disassembled that VB at least 7 times trying to figure why It was so high.. Then I remembered your video..And I said to my self..try it without the gasket and that was it!!! THANK YOU>>>THANK YOU>>>THANK YOU.. I was ready to pull the trans back out thinking I had done something wrong on the build 3 days pulling my hair out..Looking at service manuals at 3 o'clock in the morning because I couldn't sleep A gasket..I crumpled it up and slammed it with a BFH about 7 times equaling the amount of times that I tore the VB open again looking for anything.. 90 pounds at idle..Thank You!!

Great video. Gets right to it 👍👍👍👍

The extra part in the governor spring is to keep that valve from sticking you can use a check ball too.

Try installing the reverse clutch pack first , you will find its ez to get the hub in and not fight with the frictions

Nice tip on the rear snap ring tried it n works great with the th400 cover!

At 21:44 you found a metal slug of some sort in the governor spring and questioned their reasoning. It's because the governor can sometimes get stuck from debris getting in the bore with the valve. Some shops put a bearing or check ball in there to help knock the valve loose again so it remains operational. In this case, a metal slug.

Yeah !!!!! The parts people are ignorant about early models and everything else

The Ford C6 was fords original heavy duty automatic transmission. It was also used in the Bigfoot monster truck.

You will find that if you refran from using thoes red rags you will not see lint in your pick up screen!

My C6 has no lock ring on the output shaft. Bought the truck in 79. 1972 F250 Camper Special 390 C6 2 Wheel Drive. Was rebuilt by someone long time ago. Should it have had one on it?

One more question if you would be so kind. IS there a rule of thumb for the clearances on the clutch packs? I notice you just do it by feel!

Does the outer front pump gear really mater, I watched 5 videos on just that and each one installed with the mark up and down so I guess it really don't mater?

Hello. Can you put a friction next to a cushion plate vs. a steel?

I notice that you do not soak your frictions in ATF prior to installation. Some say you should but is it really necessary?

What kind of grease/lube are you using in the yellow container? I’m gonna rebuild my C6 soon Also what’s the part number for the complete rebuild kit?

Hello I finally took the c6 governor out and don’t see any obvious signs of valve being stack (still resolving no 3rd) old mechanic trick is to place check ball inside spring of the smaller valve inside governor to help rattle it in case stack etc wondering if that’s something you would do before assembly back ? 🙏🙏🙏

You are working on a F-250 is the C-6 build you did the same for a 1970 F-100 390 motor?

So far it seems similar to the 545 rebuild.

Looks like the band adjustment was only 3/4 of a turn. Looks like you made 3 quarter turns and called it good. I could be wrong.

wish to be able to take my C6 apart with such ease meanwhile trying to resolve not having 3rd gear engaging

oh clearances are off... pull out that dial indicator you never use..lol
