So a C4 is a C4 is a C4 isn't necessarily the case?
My problem is this...
I have a '65 six cylinder coupe that does not have the original engine, it currently has a '67 six cylinder but I believe the C4 tranny was from the original '65. Now the tranny is slipping. I got a C4 tranny but my mechanic says it won't bolt up to the '67 engine. I figured it was just the bellhousings - this new tranny was in a V8.
Any help would be appreciated - what I need to look at to line up the engine I have with
And anyone in southern Ontario or upstate NY have a good C4 tranny for sale? And can guarantee it will bold onto a '67 6 cylinder?
Thanks.
