    Lost all fwd gears in C4

    Forward clutch issue . Not really valvebody related unless it is a selector not lined up. Line pressure goes direct from manual valve the forward clutch that's why rules out V.B

    How to tub a ute Slydog style.

    You are best off with new axles Rob. Never seen any success in cutting and resplining. Once you cut into the soft core of the axle they are weak.. By the way looks good

    two speed power glide .

    Not all the same. 6 cylinder and some V8 ones from the smaller motors up to 307 etc use the weaker 1.82 gear set. You want the 1.76 trans identifiable by measuring output shaft diameter is slightly different between the two Depends also on the power you want to run the factory cases have their limit.

    my car spat another pushrod today

    Check the valve guides. I had that same thing, started as. A cold miss occasionally then one day bent bad. Issue was a few valves sticky and tight in the guides. Was told was c'mon with Castrol oil. When valves were out the guides were all gooey.

    DIY Rebuild C4 (C10)

    400 at the flywheel? A good rebuild paying close attention to all clearances , clutch packs and end float etc . An R servo, if yours is a 6 cyl is likely a B which is small apply. . The 5th clutch in top gear . The 40-2 kit gives plenty of line pressure for that power. There are some lube mods at the pump and #9 thrust washer . And the front planet set as i mentioned . Most now are worn and need either replacement or rebuilding . There;s a few options .

    DIY Rebuild C4 (C10)

    Cooler will need flushing with clean solvent . If the converter is used really should be split and cleaned , unless the oil in there now is near on perfectly clean. Trouble is if reusing the fresh oil will wash any contaminents into your nice clean fresh trans Kevlar bands are ok but not necessary . The factory linings on the bands give very good life or i like the red lining but not always available. 40-2 kit is fine to reuse but you must be familiar with how it is set up. Have seen many that have been reassembled incorrectly. The 40-2 gasket is different to the one in the rebuild kit so be careful . Either reuse the original if it is good or there is a small mod you can do to rge channel casting that you then use the stock gasket in the rebuild kit. I like to add an extra clutch in top gear. Roller thrusts are a nice addition but not essential at that power . The list of different mods i do is endless

    lokar kickdown for c4/c10

    Could make it work. XC + XD C4 came with a nice cable and mount bracket for the trans on the 6 cylinders. Trans bracket needs a little mod for a V8 pan fill case
