In this video Jay Robarge of Broader Performance will show the main difference between 1966-1971 and 1972-1996 valve body and case design changes in the Ford C6 Transmission.
The 1966 C6 valve body is different from the 67 and up valve bodies. The 1966 C6 valve body shifted like the 65 -66 C4 did. 2-3 or 1-2-3 shift. Ford was always changing things around.
Hope you have time to shoot me an answer. Early C6, screw in modulater. When the car sits the case fills up with fluid and leaks in the bell housing, maybe 5 or 6 quarts runs out over time. No leaks when motor is running or if i start the motor every couple days. I have heard about a 1/2" hole in the bellhousing about 7 o'cllock position that should be plugged but sometimes is not ? Gonna have to pull the unit but don't wanna have to do it twice? Any ideas ? Thanks in advance.
Just pull the trans, you will have to anyways it sounds like and fill it with fluid and see where it's coming from. The servo lever shaft is a good possibility.
I had an aod built a few years ago, it lost direct if i remember correctly, guy fixed, lost it again. He then wouldn't fix anymore. Is there something that could pop out of place?
So, you can run the old style detented valve in the new style valve body, but only if you have the rooster comb lever in case and the spring roller arm installed?
You don't want both detents. If your using the valve body with the detent in a new case that also has the detent just remove the spring and roller from the case. Assuming I'm understanding your question properly.
