Help building a C4

[onetonford]

OK im gonna give this a try. Ive built everything except an automatic trans till now. I need to know who makes the best book on how to rebuild and any good tricks for a high performsnce build. Also who seems to have the best rebuild kit?
Thanks

Look up broader performance on google. Really cool guy. That's where you get your parts. Tell him the HP level, and he'll tell you what clutches and such. I got all my parts and and machining done there. I finally killed it after 3.5 years. And it died exactly when he said it would. Over 500 ft/lbs, killed the cheap tans clutches in the forward. They are pretty easy. Bought a vid online for a stock rebuild. Second rebuild with a trans brake, so far so good.

How many clutches did you have in the forward? How many in the new build? How much line pressure does the TB VB run? I used a green Transgo spring and stock inner and have 250psi at wot. Seems a little high, but it is working great so far. I'm kind of curious because I put 5 alto's in the forward and 6 alto's in the direct and wonder if I have enough.

oneton, the factory Mustang manual is what I used to rebuild mine and I had never seen the inside of a trans. before. There mention some special tools but I got by with c clamps and a buddy.

Seems a little high for that kit. I think they only go to about 225 or so. I had 6 and 6, but only raybestos tans in the forward, and that's what finally gave out. But that was my fault entirely. I foot braked it in third gear sitting still trying to figure something out one day. BUrned them up
I have the same amount in the rebuild, just upgraded the forward clutched to alto reds. Did the same for the direct, even though the blues looked great. Since I was there....I you ran the reds in both, you'll be good for a long time.
