Thread: Trany kick down hook up.

Tweet

Ok Guy's ; The C-4 that I'm taking out of my Ranchero has mechanical kick down linkage. The new and better small block C-6 Trany has a electrical kick down. Any one know how I can hook this up in the 65 Ranchero? Since this car did'nt come with much in the way of electronics I'm not sure how to hook this up, to work. Thanks for any help.

I dont remember C-6 trans having electronic kick downs,are you sure its a C-6 not a overdrive trans. Post some pics of the trans and I can identify. I had a 87 F 150 that had a C-6 that still had the mechanical kickdown so I think you might have a E40D that is computer controlled but if you have a AOD trans it will have a cable that controlls the shifting. I dont think you have a C-6. Jeff

junkyardjeff; its got a round plastic piece by the linkage on the drivers side with 4 wires that come out of it to a female plug type end.

And your drivin a fuel tanker around like that ????? ( LOL)
Just kidin ya Vegas.
I'll see if I can find ya a wiring diagram for the switch... Got any idea what year & model it came out of ????

HWORRELL; I have no Idea what year it is, or what kind of a car it came from. The guy said he knows it came out of a car, but he did'nt know what year or type. I told Him it came out of a Ford, does that help your memory, He said nope and smiled. But I figured since these things are getting so hard to find I better take it. He said that they { C-6 Trannys } don't sit around long.
And non of the other junk yards had any C-6's around either, especially the small block C-6's.
My wife and son went 100 miles to pick it up while I was at work.
The C-4 that's in there works fine, I've just had problems with them before going behind a well built motor, The C-4's won't last.
Just trying to get all my duck's in a row. Want to get all the big ticket items bought and figured out, so when I'm ready to start really diggin in, there are no hold up's. Thanks Again.

Thanks HWORRELL; I was going on some thing that some else had said about that wire being a electric kick down. In the 67 mustang I had a B & M Shifter. And the revers/ back up light switch looked totaly differant from this switch. Thanks again for you help in figuring it out.
