RE: Transmission trouble |

well, looks like bubba is wrong again. No Lincolns used a tailshaft like a truck. If it has a yoke bolted on that accepts u-bolts its atruck. The lincolns used a different setup with bearings on the output yoke. Different from a truck or car. As far as getting a C6 for $50.00, that is just the begining and any idiot knows that even if the trans is good it still is not a direct bolt in. You have to have the correct mounts and shift linkage so that it will all work properly in the vehicle. You can not just take a Tbird trans and bolt it in a Mustang, noting will line up and the linkages will not work without extensive mods. If you can find a 66 Galaxie C6 then it will work but you will still not want to use it for anything but parts as a 66 C6 is a parts project looking for a place to happen. Use the 66 trans to get the shift lever and kickdown and have it mounted in a 67-70 case, also note that the 66 shift levers are 1 year only parts and are different for column and floorshift. Sorry, it was just another stupid suggestion by bubba. Hawkrod |
