Auto Folks, I?m new here. I have a 1968 Mustang with a three speed auto, I think it?s a C-4 Tranny, because it has 302 V-8. I want to get it running okay for better evaluation before I pull the Transmission if possible. It won?t shift into High gear. What are the things to look for if it won?t shift on up into high gear? thanks, Lewis
Stuck road speed governor? Should be able to remove it by removing tail shaft housing IIRC. Clean it up and dip it in trasn fluid.

lets start with the most likley, which is the vacuume modulator. pull the line off at the trany and if any fluid is in it it needs to be replaced. KB
Won't go into 3rd, eh? Didja make sure the shift linkage is properly adjusted?

I still have not gotten around to checking out the suggestions on the Mustang trans that fails to shift into high gear. I will post my findings when I have done it. Thanks again Lewbish
