What tranny

[datawireguy]

Hey what tranny is every one using. I have a stock 3 speed but was thinking of putting in a c4. I hace a good donner that is free to me. What do you think?

I like my C4. The 1st gear is kinda high though. If it was all the same I'd get a 4 speed with granny low & overdrive.

I also just have the stock 3 but when I upgrade I'm going to a NP435.

I have an NP435/NP205 in my '67 and love it.

I just changed from an NP435/D20 to a C4/Atlas. MUCH better! ;D

;D ;D ;D That is a hard ? to go with. I like the 4speed top loader wide ratio and when I get to old to shift good I will put in the beefed up C4 with shift kit. I have the trans just wateing. Its what do you want auto works best in the sand. Good luck with your choice. Bill %)

If the C4 is free I would probably go with that. You will enjoy it much more than the 3 speed. Of course there are other costs involved but "Free is a very good price" to get started with.

Depends what you do with your bronco, if it is mostly off road or close to home driving you will be fine with a 3 speed ( auto or manual ) but if you run much on the highway you may be wishing for an overdrive tranny. I have a c4 and cannot decide what gears to run with 35 tires, if I install the correct gears ( 4.56 ) it will be screaming on the highway. If I had a pile of money I would scrap the auto and go with one of the 5 speed sticks and maybe even go 4.88 gears.

Are you taking the torque convertor into consideration? It is good for about 2:1 which puts the C4 at about 5:1 in low gear when crawling.

 

[unclebap]

Been using the 3spd for 20 yrs, just converted to the C4 and could not be more pleased, now ,to keep the wife out of it!

 

[donks&broncs]

I have the C4 right now. I have a prejudice against autos and like shifting so I will be swapping out for the ZF 5 speed and will likely go with a 351w and an np 205 while I'm at it. I am already starting to collect parts but this will be all part of a body off resto that I will likely start next spring.

I got a great buy on a NV 4500 out of texas on e-bay. Don't have it in yet but can't wait. The company that sells them has them listed as Chrysler transmissions. I was always doing a search for Dodge NV 4500 5 speed.
Go figure?

 

[AthensHorse]

Stay with the Manual tranny and hold out for a NV 3550 or 4500.

i have had to rebuilb my C4 3 times now and i also drive mine on the street with 4.56 gears, so me and C4's arent really getting along at the moment. a friend of mine has a Bronco with an NV4500 and it rocks! this summer i am going to go with the NV4500, its pricey, but its well worth the money in the long run..
