It looks like the trip was hard on the junkyard C-4 trans thats in my 55,started it up today for the first time since getting back and heard a noise coming fron under the car. It went away after the pressure built up so it looks like the pump is on the way out but was wanting to drive it untill I get the 292 Y block and FMX rebuilt but will have to make a decision on what I want to do,I dont want to waste money rebuilding the C-4 since I have nothing to put it in after its pulled from the 55 so I might have to look for another used trans to get my by for awhile but I am glad it did not go out on the road.

Ouch. C-4's are funny that way, they give you little or no notice before they lose a gear or all of them. You drive home ok, park it, and the next day it won't go into reverse or worse. I've had that exact thing happen to me.

I did not see if it would move but will take it around the block tonight to see if it goes into all gears,I should of had it gone through but it looked like it was a fresh rebuild. It always shifted funny into third at light throttle so if it was rebuilt someone did not do a good job,I paid 65 dollars for it and I got my moneys worth out of it but since I am going back to a Y block I dont want to waste the money to rebuild it so I will probably throw another used trans in it for the time being.

Wow cool pics from the Turkey run. Sounds like a good time was had, except for the breakdowns! Hope the troubles are minor Don!
