what transmission fluid do i run in freshly built c4

[fordguy]

what do i need to run in my c4 just built fixing to paint that puppy and put in with the new 5.0

 

[ken75ranger]

Type F is preffered.

 

[Skuzzlebutt]

Type F, unless the rebuilder recommends different. If you go against his instructions it'll void the warranty. Most rebuilders will tell you type F.

 

[fordguy]

how many quarts including stock torque converter

 

[fordtrucks4ever]

I am thinking about 12 quarts. The Bronco only pan holds a little more than on cars and light trucks.

Not necessarily type F.
When rebuilt with all new friction parts, the asbestos pads replaced, you can put in anything.
You are not restricted to type F.

Dexron can tolerate a higher temperature, so may be preferable.

got in touch with the builder he said dexron II so......

Trans Fluid

I put Amsoil synthetic trans in mine after the rebuild and it runs great.

 

[Triggerman]

My rebuilder said Dextron Mercon III as well for my fresh C4. He says he reccomends it for everything he rebuilds.

 

[Catfish76]

The Type F Is For The Older 60s Modles,you Need To Run Dextron 111 Mercon Is What That Year Modle Calls For .it Is A New Fulid That Out Last Any Type F .you Are Safe Run It!

 

[fordguy]

that is what i went with mercon III

 

[okorangebrnco]

AmsOil Automatic Trans fluid is in mine. Transbuilder did it for free, said he puts it in everything! although I am sure the price is built into the rebuild cost.

 

[Broncobowsher]

got in touch with the builder he said dexron II so......

Since that is what the rebuilder recomends, that would be what I would run.

 

[fordguy]

couldn't find II so he said III would be fine

 

[malcolmzilla]

My builder said Dexron, due to the clutches he used.
