Are Bronco Trannys Unique?

Postby cmcdowell » Thu Apr 07, 2011 8:10 am

I responded to an add about rebuilding my transmission and he priced me about $250 more to rebuild my '74, then he did for the more recent models. Anyone know what the difference is between our original trannys and more recent c-4s? Also, if its going to cost that kind of green, anyone know of a good tech article on doing it yourself? banghead

Viperwolf on the board here is the Transmission guy, He'll probably be along shortly, or PM him.

I would call a transmission shop and ask them what it would cost to rebuild a C-4 auto and see what they say. They can give you ball park figures. There is a guy here in Colorado Springs that is an EB guy and owns The Transmission Clinic. His name is Don Callendar and is pretty good, but at least he can give you an estimate to do the work.

While it does have some unique parts, rebuilding a Bronco C4 is really no different than rebuilding any C4 from the same year range. A higher cost is only justified if any of the unique hard parts need to be replaced or if the estimate includes removing/replacing the C4.

Just parts for a good quality rebuild will run about $300.
