c-6 tranny rebuild

i had no problems last time out with my tranny overheating at all. but i think i might of run the pump dry on hells hole. it wines when you rev it up now and in my opinion it does slip when it gets hotter. i have a spare c-6 tranny and i am going to perform a rebuild on it myself. it is only 3 gears (no overdrive) and my older brother has rebuilt th350 before. so he can give me some insight. maybee if anyone can find a c-6 transmission rebuild video somewhere you can post a link. thank you. i have to fix my buggy damage from hells hole first, then i can check the tranny i have in it now to see the extent of the damage. I WOULD THINK IT COULD BE JUST THE PUMP GOING UP THAT IS MAKING THE WINING SOUND. BUT I HAVE TO PULL THE TRANNY TO GET TO THAT ANYWAY. any advice or links would help

Ford Transmissions are notorious for whinning. Its the nature of the beast and most of the time its due to valves getting worn out. I personally have never torn one apart but have owned a couple of fords that have done what your talking about.

Von there is a Ton of info on google. I did a search for "c 6 transmission rebuild" there is pages of info but the first link looked good.

first i am going to change my filter and re-assemble. then i will go from there.it will be awhile though, i don't have allot of spare time and i have to fix my rear drive shaft and all first. i am not going to pull it unless i have to

sounds like you have good plan. I wouldn't pull it either unless you have to.

do you think this is worth me acquiring for a spare just in case something is wrong with my tranny. it also has my same t.c on ithttp://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140317897131&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&viewitem=
it doesn't seem like i can go wrong with it, BUT IT IS A 2 HOUR TRIP ONE WAY TO GET IT

i bought the c-6 tranny with a 205 t.c on it for $45.00 . (what a deal) they said the tranny was rebuilt last year. we will see and it came with the torque converter

i am going to get it tommorrow...........BILL, it is somewhat near you isn't it. in smithsburg md 21783 up rt. 70

well i picked it up. every time i move one of these 205 around i remember how heavy the bastard is . and this one had a c-6 on it. good thing the guy had a forklift to load it for me. i took the transfer case off to make it easier to move at home. the tranny fluid in this c-6 looks crystal clear and bright red. he said that it ran fine and it was rebuilt over a year ago. i am going to check the fluid/filter in mine and make the decision at that point if i am just going to change the whole thing. it should not be that hard to pull the whole tranny out. i will take pics and post them

sweet deal! yeah smithsburg is about 30 min north of me

If you have an extra Ford 205 lying around I may be interested in one.

but offcourse i have an extra,just let me know. i will hold onto it. hope you feel better soon

thanks Von. I may end up going with a built Ford motor instead of building the Chevy 454. benefit is i can run a ford (drivers drop) 205 that can handle the HP and won't require any adaptors. It will be awhile though before I have to make that decision.

here is an update, i removed my trans and transfer case and installed the other tranny, everything seemed to line up great. but i had a 1/16 gap at the bottom of the tranny and engine, so as i tightened the bolts up the gap was lessening, so i was like . until the tranny housing cracked . i was disgusted and went inside to go to bed....i have a np435 in my garage, i was thinking about putting in it. that would give me a crawl ratio of 52 with the 205 behind it, or a ratio of 72 with the np208 that is on that now. in either case i would have to put a clutch pedal in and a new clutch assembly and change the bell housing on it from a small block to a big block ford.(much cheaper then an atlas) but there would be no more overheating or tranny slippage issues to deal with. IDEAS AND INPUT PLEASE??

well i made a whole bunch of calls today and came up short on finding a stock 460 bell housing to match up to a np435 or a T-18 WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS THE SAME BOLT UP
