deciphering a tranny

[76 explorer]

do fmx trannys have a removable bellhousing? im trying to figure out what tranny someone has. it looks like a c4 with the main difference being its bell housing isnt removable but its in a bronco

 

[cjjhalfcab]

C4s and FMXs had removeable bellhousings; C6s and the AODs don't. Check that tranny pan. The C6 has a giant pan.

Good pic or not, it's for sure a C-4.

i thought a c4 had a removable bellhousing. i havent gotten under mine to look but even the tranny guide on the left in the tech column said that

That tranny looks like it has a removeable bellhousing. Some C-4's have the bellhousing fastened by the front pump bolts in a circle pattern and others (like the EB C-4) have the pump held in by their own circle pattern bolts while the bellhousing uses dedicated bolts in a different pattern.

Yep that looks like a stock bronco c4 the the bolts that hold the bellhousing on are behind the torque converter inside the bellhousing, I think 4 of them if i remember right.

I could be wrong but if i remember right the c4 has the removable bell and the c6 & fmx trans dont, again i could be wrong, its been awhile since i've had to mess with ford automatics

The FMX trans has 4 bolts that hold it to the trans and it will pull like a stick. The C4 has the bolts inside the bellhouseing.;D ;D ;D Bill 8) %)
