Thread: C4 problems

Howdy all,

So...doing donuts.

Turns out weak 6 cyl c4's wont take the abuse. The question is, what went wrong. Symptoms are slipping and grinding. I have a v8 c4 now, but this will be mounted behind a 6 cyl so I need to use my 6cyl torque converter. Is it possible that I busted some fins off in the converter or is that unlikely? I had a friend tell me it was likely I just burnt out the clutch packs, but it is showing the same symptoms in reverse. I dont know trannys very good so any help would be appreciated.

they common thing to go out on the c-4s is the clutch packs when juicing too much power through them.... i had one in my mustang before when i put a v8 in it and then quickly upgraded to a 6spd manual..... if you want a good strong tranny for that car and like manual then a 5spd out of a 4cyl 2.4 ranger will directly drop in your car and just need a clutch pedal and crossmember kit added.... your torque converter should be fine unless there were some broken hard parts that found their way into the converter but thats unlikely
