Last month i destroyed my c-4 on my 70 mustang. I finally saved up enough money to buy a new one but  i can decide between two. I'm looking at the TCI streetfighter and the Performance Automatic Super Streeter. What do you guys think about these????



Here's a pic of my old trans....front u-joint went out when i was doing 100+

 

I build my own (and looking at the prices - it's a good thing) But I haven't had any issues with items from TCI, Art Carr or Broader Performance  

TCI makes good stuff, as does Performance Automatic. I've also used Dynamic Racing Transmissions for C4s with good results too...

I've heard of Broader but never used them. Art Carr was the man back in the day and I know he's still building 'em, but not sure what he offers these days.

Falcon is right though, building a C4 yourself is not too hard. You can either borrow/rent the tools for drum assembly (to compress the piston) or you can fabricate your own for bench use. I think it's easier than building a small block, with only a few clearances to check and no real machining to ***

HTH...

Ya i heard that they weren't to difficult. I'll give it a shot at rebuilding one if i mess up my new one.  I think i'm gonna go with the TCI streetfighter. Thanks for the input guys.....  

I made my own piston spring compressor, the rest can be done with hand tools and snap ring pliers.  

The biggest boon to trans building in my shop has been the digital torque meter I bought on closeout from Sears for $40.  It's a total *** to wrassle the trans around on a bench trying to use a torque wrench to cinch up the tail housing or bell/pump assy.  With the digital, I can set the torque, grab the trans in a head lock and just wail away with a socket wrench until I here the "BEEEEP" that says I hit the mark.  

Just for reference - the person "Art Carr" is now CPT (California Performance Transmissions) if I remember.  My Art Carr is the company located in Abilene, Texas.
