Ford Automatic Transmissions Manuals

Ford Automatic Transmissions gathers manuals about the automatic transmissions fitted to Ford cars and light trucks, within the Transmissions category. The library’s entries here are factory training handbooks from 1970 and 1971 for the C4 and C6 three-speed automatics, both of the Cruise-O-Matic type. They explain how the torque converter, planetary gear train and hydraulic valves work, and how to diagnose and adjust these units.

The 1970 Ford C6 Transmission Training Handbook (Course 1710-104) includes stall and pressure tests. The 1971 Ford C4 Automatic Transmission Technician Reference Manual (Course 7511) covers the C4 in the same way. Mechanics, rebuilders and restorers can use both to learn how these transmissions operate before tackling a diagnosis or overhaul.
