Need help finding parts

[GrandeStang73]

As we know Fords can be a bit difficult at times, but this sends me over the edge. Ford built a C-5 Transmission twice , one as a beefed up C-4 pan-fill . The other time is after 82-84 for the ford ranger , which is totally different. I can only find parts for that stupid Ranger C-5 . You guys know of any places for me to pick up a gasket/filter/shift kit at? Any help appreciated!

Just order it for a pan fill C-4. Same transmission. Most times it's called a pan-fill C-4 ( or heavy duty) Only rarely do you see it referred to as a C-5. The 80's C-5 wasn't a Ranger only transmission, it was also used in other cars as well. I had one awhile back that came from a 5.0 Stang. Only thing different was it's lockup converter feature.
