C4 / FMX

[fordman]

i cant find that rans pan id page. so if someone knows the link please post it. i have a auto trans that i thought was a c4 it has a removeable bellhousing and a pan fill dipstick tube. my dad says its a fmx though. i think he may be right but i want to see the pan pics to be sure. no pics tonight its too dark already.

I can get some pictures of the FMX and its pan that I pulled out of my 70 this summer tommrow morning if you want. Also I think all an FMX is just a beefed up C4 or atleast that what my dad told me.

If the case is aluminum, it's a C4. If it's cast iron, it's an MX/COM

[fordman]

then it is probably a fmx then. i wasnt sure about the cast iron vs aluminum thing.

Fordman that looks like a COM transmission my 67 had one, though i think is a older style of c4 dunno. the external cooler and if the dip stick screws into the side of the pan its a COM If you want i can get you a picture of mine since its no longer attached to the engine and in the bed of the truck at this time.

i seen that one too. i was thinking there was a different one that i had seen before.

i got it rolled over to look at it finally this morning. it is a mx it has the small bump on the outer passenger side of the pan.

[SteveC]

then you got the medium case mx? that is the same that was in my 67 decent enough trannsmission i had a hard time finding the gasket for the pan.
Had to order from NPD cause none of the parts stores could find it. even the good one

CW & FMX iron case transmissions have the dipstick tube in the case.

FX, MX, HX, and PCA iron case transmissions have the dipstick tube in the pan.

All other Ford transmissions have an aluminum case.

From your picture I would guess you have a 1967 medium case Cruiso (MX). Check your tag. If it says PFB-A that is exactly what you have.
