ford c-4 help!!

I have a 302 to a c-4 and everything seems to be right but... doesn't seem to be going into the gears! park, reverse, drive all move like neutral!!! what did i do wrong?? need to know soon, try'in to make paso!!

 

Check your oil, and make sure you connected your vacuum modulator. and go to a mustang forum, i thinkyou get more tips and tricks if your ****** is not fried

 

thanks man!! i have enough oil but i have NO idea about the vacuum modulator!!

 

take a cooler line off, start it and see if fluid is coming out of it.

 

killer thanks! if fluid is coming out of it. is that good or bad?

 

fluid is good. the va*** modulator is on the rear of the ****** behind the pan and should have a va***e line attached to it going to the minifold somewhere... not exactly sure where.

Checked the manual for my car (255/c4) and it just taps in to the manifold vac***e

 

fluid coming out= good.

fluid not coming out= bad.

If it's not pumping fluid, most likely the toque converter isn't all the way in the front pump.

 

thanks tbirdscott and killer!!!! i'll check out the va*** modulator, minifold, and toque converter. which i hope not, i'd hate to take the ****er out AGAIN!! haha!!

 

That's because you went and put a Ford drivetrain in a Pontiac! It's trying to say to ya NO Double D, don't make me the laughin stock of Paso, don't turn my smile upside down!!

I'd say the vacuum is your best bet. If that got screwed up it wont let the ****** shift.

When you put it together you may have forgotten to slip the input shaft into the front of the ******. That would give you park and 5 neutrals. You wouldnt be the first guy whos done that.

 

the trans is trashed take it apart and rebuild that thing juck yard trans need to be gone through

 

Has it sat up for awhile? How long have you tried? Have you reved it up while it's hot. tim

 

The modulater will work on any manifold vac*** source, meaning below the carb throttle plates,venturi vac*** wont work, I dont think thats your problem though as the modulater just controls shift points. I have never seen one, even with the vac*** removed, that would not go, at least in first or reverse. It sounds like your not getting fluid pressure where you need it, small input shaft missing as already described, or maybe something gummed up or stuck in the valve body. If it's a used ****** thats been sitting that might be my first guess.

 

Tell us more about trans. is it a salvage unit?
Did it come buckled to the motor?
Did you buckle it to the motor?
Details my man,we need details!

Loose,or warped valve body,or VB gasket ****ing air= no go. Sprag clutch in converter shot. pickup blocked or leaking. sparky
