C6 rebuild
 

My father has a '79 f-250 that he built
it has a 460 and a C6 and the other day he cooked the tranny. By the time he noticed it was getting hot and looked at his autometer guage the thing was wrapped around the top.

so anyway, my question is what does the heat actually fry in automatics. My father is thinking just the bands are slipping but I don't really know much about them.

And does anyone have any good information on rebuilding a C6 or a site that sells rebuild kits.

thanks guys
this is the first time I've visited the classic mustangs section, it's pretty nice in here;)

More then likely it is just bands and clutches. Any re-build "kit" you get will have all the oring as well though so it doesn't hurt to put them in most of them don't come with bands though they usually come seperate.

I'd say your best bet would be to check out the transmission in a shop manual. I don't know much of anything about trucks, was the c6 factory or was it from a mustang? In that case follow the rebuild guide in the shop manual for repairing a c6...I think that's your most reliable source.

The C6 was out of another truck, the tail is different because it mates to the transfer case but the internals of a C6 should all be the same or maybe insignificant differences.

I was hoping someone would have a link to a site on the net. We don't have the shop manual
