Hi guys my C4 has decided to give up on me, it has lost reverse and all engine braking in 1st gear which has lead me to believe after much reading that it's more than likely I have dropped the posts off my low reverse band, either way it's due for a rebuild as it has done allot of hard work over the years.
My engine on a good day with a good tune should make 400hp @ flywheel so it's no monster, I know the stock trans handled it no worries but I'm just wondering what else can be done cheaply to strengthen one and make it shift better to preserve the life of clutches?
I'm looking at one of these VB's as they seem to be highly recommended for street aplications?? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/TCI-Auto-Valve-Body-Streetfighter-Automatic-Manual-Forward-Pattern-Ford-C-4-Each-/330985458280?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4d10454a68&_uhb=1
I run a 3000 converter and have a decent cooler setup, I hear that a bigger intermediate servo piston helps these things shift better when they have more power thrown at them, to be honest I don't know what I should get done as I'm no trans expert, my local tranny guy said 1200 built and fitted which is a good price imo so just want to get the low down on what I can get him to do which is relatively easy if he is gonna pull it down and reco it. Cheers =D
