Drivetrain Tech / aod to c4 swap
hi.

The car is now runnig again. the swap was a relatively easy swap. worst part was getting the engine/trans bolts bolted up. It was not much room to turn the tools there :beatyoass: :beatyoass:
Had to bypass the neutral switch (easy)
The car feels different to drive, i dont know why but it fells quicker and lighter.

It is fun to drive my T-Bird again :burnout:

well, i got the trans in and prop shaft in. Every thing bolted in except i had to mod the crossmember a little. Now i just have to shifter and oil lines hooked up and add some fluids. Any tip how to get the kick down to function right, i`ll get it to work but i`m sure some one has done this swap before with great resault.

i hope to get the aod rebuilt this winter because the gas is like 8,5 $ pr gallon here in norway!! :beatyoass:

nope, but last time i had this transmision working it was ona carb. engine. i thought it needed to be connected to some sort of vacum port. Do i not need to with the efi. (ho conversion)

i got a panfill c4 with converter, and i have to double check but i think it will fit the 164 tooth flywheel.  the c4 got the big bell from what i`ve learned from the net. i hope to get the tranny in tomorrow. I have to mod the crossmember, think i can move the bushings backward to get the crossmember forward. i think hehe :hick:

what do you have to mod. i got double hump crossmember,
it sure looked it would just flip over and fit, but i could be wrong:hick:

hi

i have a 86 tbird with a bad tranny. i`m going to replace it with a good working c4 for now. i have checked the difference and they are the same lenght.
I have to flip around the crossmember but what else do i need to watch out for?

Willl the speedom.wire fit?

ok thanks. i`ll take some measures of the trans. Can i use the column shifter with the c4? or must i change to an aftermarked shifter.

hi

the aod is going bad so i want swap to a c4

What do i need to do and what parts do i need for this swap?
I got a c4 (panfill) that shifts great. it has the big bellhousing.

Will driveshaft and crossmember fit and what about kickdown wire/rod?

Sorry for many questions, but here in norway its not easy to just take trip to the junkyard for parts. (probably only 10-15 tbirds over here)

Any help is appreciated
