In this video Jay Robarge of Broader Performance will show a very critical procedure when installing a valve body in a Ford C6 transmission. Important information for the professional and novice.
Great information on an issue that is so often overlooked. Just goes to show that sticking to the basics when setting up is so important. Where a few measurements and reference checks can save everyone a lot of head aches and possibly a transmission. Great work!
Thats also the most common C6 shift issue i have found! Especially typical on core transmissions that have had the shift lever knocked around an this bends the internal selector arm, or if its been in a crash in a vehicle and bent it. To the point that the 1st thing i do when stripping a C6 shift mechanism out is inspect that internal arm for traces of tiny cracks in the case hardening, a sure sign its bent! Great videos, thanks.
Thank You Jay I really appreciate you sharing this information you sure are a knowledgeable guy really learning a lot from your videos. Big Fan of your stuff as well.
Excellent Video Jay! I was never aware about this. The few times i removed and re installed my valve body , i just got lucky for sure!! Appreciate you sharing the knowledge!! I hope you do more of these VERY Informative C6 videos!! I cant wait for the C6 Shifter adjustment video. Thanks again.
Setting mine was a real pain. I ended up with .026 in the bore reverse, N- .240 out , D- .501 out , 2nd- .770 out , 1st - 1.019 out. It probably took me an hour and a half to get it this close.
Oh yes , great video. . Lost count of how many I have fixed that have a tie up mostly on the 3-2 downshift , there is a point that the band can apply without the manual valve moving far enough to open the exhaust port to release 3rd gear. Cable adjustment is just one thing that is critical that a lot of guys don't get how important it is . Came across it back in about 1997 with a burnt up unit and figured what it was . Have measured every one since , particularly I find critical in the "2" position. A lot of shops think they know but really do not these finer details .... Big thumbs up on this one :)
Great video! I rebuilt a c6 a few years ago, first and last tranny I ever rebuilt. Just a stock rebuild with tow shift kit, and it will not shift on its own. Like the governor is stuck. But I’m going to check this alignment now when I go back into the valve body. Thanks for the video, I haven’t seen or read of this alignment issue
Hey jay, I watched the video front to back. Great video. I will be doing my stock c6 with a trans go 67 1/2 kit. What are the measurements I should be aiming for on all the gears when adjusting?
This is a Trick flow style aluminum pan. Summit also copied it so those pans use this style pickup tube as well. We are not offering them currently because they seem to keep going out of stock these days.
