Trying to figure out...

Post by tazzman68 »

what my transmission is, my truck is a 67 2wd, w/ 352 and auto. I went to decode the door plate, and the trans code is a G which translates to "Automatic"......well duh, :lol: I kinda had that figured out. Does anyone know anything about this mystical "automatic" transmission?
Oh, BTW, GREAT site! found more out about my truck in one day than I have in the whole week and a half I've had it. Looking forward to knowing everyone.

well...most seem to be c-6 transmissions beyond that look at the pan on the transmission....a c-4 should be squareish. if there is a sort of bend in on one corner its probably a c-6 . the others know more than I

Well my book says Automatic (C-4) which is a little confusing since the only V8 in 67 was a 352 and as far as I know (or thought I knew) the C-4 was never tooled to fit behind an FE engine. Maybe I was wrong.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.

If the bell housing bolts to the tranny you have a C-4. If the bell housing is integral with the tranny you most likely have a C-6.
I doubt you have a C-4 unless someone put in an aftermarket bell housing. A C-6 would be more likely.

It may be an MX. which I'm told is kinda like a heavy duty FMX.

I think we had a thread on it in the last month or so.

Putting a C4 behind an FE takes an expensive aftermarket bell housing. Ford never did it.

(Now that I said never watch someone come up with some obscure concept car that had one :( )

Anyway probably an MX, they seem to have been moderately common in 67.

It's a MX transmission, a heavy duty version of the FMX.

Easy way to tell, the case is made of cast iron, all the other automatics have an aluminum case.
